The 2023 NBA Finals is set after the conclusion of the Eastern Conference finals, and will feature the Miami Heat taking on the Denver Nuggets in a seven-game series for the championship.
With that, the Corgi that went viral for its prediction of the series between the LA Lakers and the Golden State Warriors is back and has chosen its 2023 NBA champion.
The dog went viral for choosing the Warriors in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs in seven games. Fans of the organization held on to the corgi's choice throughout the entire series. However, it wasn't accurate in the end, as the Lakers won in six games, ending the Warriors' season.
This time, the dog is back and has chosen Denver to win it all against Miami. Although the dog took a while to complete its prediction, it eventually ended up picking Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets to win the Larry O'Brien trophy.
Watch the video below to see the full prediction between the Heat vs Nuggets:
Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Heat and Nuggets will start tomorrow. Denver will be hosting Miami as they finished the season with a much better record than their opponent.
Coming into the series, the Nuggets are the favorites to win and take home their first-ever championship.

Former NBA player gives credit to Butler and his squad ahead of Heat vs Nuggets series
Experts have chosen their picks on which team will come out on top ahead of the NBA Finals. While most have picked Denver to win the championship over Miami this season, there are those who have highlighted what the Heat are capable of.
Former NBA player Kendrick Perkins gave credit to the recently crowned Eastern Conference champions. He shared that Jokic and co. hasn't seen a team quite like the Heat.
"Denver hasn't seen a team like the Miami Heat. We don't give the Miami Heat enough credit for all the misdirection and multiple actions that they run." Perkins said.
Perk brought up a valid point in the Heat involving Jokic in most of their pick-and-roll plays in the series. The two-time MVP isn't known to be the best defender in his squad and the Heat could exploit that advantage to their favor.
The Heat vs Nuggets Finals showdown will showcase an extremely competitive series. Both teams have continued to compete despite not being favorites to make it to the NBA Finals at the start of the postseason.
