00:00Dave's here with Quick Sports. What do you got? Okay, let's start with the basketball where the

00:05Denver Nuggets are your 2022-23 NBA champions. They defeated the Miami Heat in game five of the

00:14NBA finals last night, 94-89 to capture their first championship in franchise history. That's

00:2146 years, in fact. Big defense last night. It was a good game. Nikola Jokic named the finals MVP.

00:30This guy is unbelievable. He finished the series averaging 30 points a game, 14 rebounds,

00:397.2 assists, and 1.4 steals. Unbelievable. In fact, he's the first player in NBA history to have the

00:49most points, rebounds, and assists in a single postseason. He led in all three of your triple

00:56crown categories. He also became the first player in NBA history to record at least 600 points,

01:04250 rebounds, and 150 assists in a single postseason. His stats were absolutely historic.

01:15So congratulations to Nikola Jokic. And the entire Denver Nuggets team, man,

01:21it was pretty cool. You had Peyton Manning. You had Russell Wilson. You had their new coach,

01:27Broncos new coach, Sean Peyton. There were a bunch of like Denver type people and celebs. Yeah,

01:33but a lot of them coming from like the Broncos side of things. Still no John Denver, I guess

01:39because he's dead. No, he is dead. Yeah. Sadly. Sadly. Plane crash. Ah, shoot.

01:44What about Bob Denver? Gilligan. Is he alive? I don't think he's still alive, Dave. Damn it.

01:51I'm actually a big John Denver fan. Yeah, I'm a big Bob Denver fan. How can you not love

01:55Gilligan's Island? I mean, cultural impact. It'd be fair to argue one over the other. I will say my

02:02parents used to play this one John Denver song every year during the sports update. Okay,

02:06but this is a good one. It would go like this. Please, daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas.

02:12Right. It's one of the worst Bob Denver songs ever, but okay. I loved it as a kid. I didn't know

02:16what it meant. Hockey. So again, congratulations to Denver Nuggets. You are NBA champions. Now

02:23hockey, we could have champs tonight in the Stanley cup. And that's because the Las Vegas

02:28golden Knights lead the Florida Panthers three games to one. So we'll see. Can Vegas close it out?

02:35I think that they will. I feel like it's a similar, uh, similar series to, uh, in the building.

02:40Yeah. Cup is in the building and I think they're good. They're going to win just the way the

02:44Nuggets also wrapped it up yesterday. Baseball Phillies filled with the Diamondbacks nine to

02:48eight, despite JT real Muto actually hitting for the cycle for the fills, but not enough

02:53to prevent the loss. The Yanks and Mets were inactive this evening. The Yankees and Mets play

02:59each other city field, regular season, subway series. Always a good time. The Yankees nine games

03:06over 500 at 38 and 29. Meanwhile, the Mets come in at four games under 500 at 31 and 35.

03:13Both teams looking to get hot right now. Always fun for a good little subway series. Going to be

03:18paying attention to that. And then finally, football weird story here is the, uh, Jacksonville Jaguars.

03:24They're looking to renovate their stadium. I thought that they were going to move. That was always the

03:29rumor. But now it seems like they're going to renovate the stadium. You know, they're going to

03:35ask for the people of Jacksonville, apparently to pay for a $2 billion stadium. You got to tap into

03:41the taxpayer base to get yourself a new stadium. And in the meantime, they're trying to figure out

03:45where will they play? And they're looking, they're seriously considering playing at the Daytona

03:50International Speedway where they run the Daytona 500, 100,000 seat stadium. It's a 90 miles south

03:58of Jacksonville. Interesting. So, uh, that could be, uh, the first time we'll ever see football held

04:03at a NASCAR stadium. That could be interesting just to, just to look at. Yeah. Because wouldn't

04:10there be a lot? I, it feels like, wouldn't the fans be back pretty far away from the action.

04:16Right. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm curious to see how that would look. That's a quick look sport.

04:19It's the.
