In their first NBA Finals appearance in franchise history, the Denver Nuggets have defeated the Miami Heat for the NBA’s top crown.
It’s obviously an historic moment for Nuggets fans and players alike, but perhaps none more so than former Jayhawk Christian Braun.
With an NBA championship now on his resume, Braun has become the 10th Kansas basketball alum since the 1976 NBA-ABA merger to win an NBA title and just the fourth former Jayhawk since the merger to win both an NCAA and NBA title – joining a trio of 2008 NCAA champions (Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush, and Sasha Kaun).
