Nuggets radio call of NBA Championship win will put tears in your eyes

The Nuggets radio call of Denver’s Game 5 victory for the NBA Championship featured incredible emotion from Jason Kosmicki and Scott Hastings.

The wait for a championship can be excruciating. But getting to that mountaintop makes it all worth it.

The Denver Nuggets reached that peak on Monday night with a 94-89 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, led by Finals MVP Nikola Jokic.

Whether you’re a Nuggets fan, a rival or an NBA neutral, the Nuggets radio call from Jason Kosmicki and Scott Hastings on Altitude Sports Radio will put tears in your eyes as the two broadcasters let their emotions shine through in what was a moment of overwhelming joy.

Nuggets radio call of NBA Championship win is emotional and beautiful

Altitude Sports Radio dropped a long cut of highlights from Game 5. Skip forward to the nine-minute mark to hear the final seconds of action and the championship call:

“The Denver Nuggets stand on top of the NBA world!” Kosmicki called out at the final buzzer. “They are champions! And Nuggets fans from sea to shining sea can rest or die in peace.”

Kosmicki has been the voice of the Nuggets for 14 years. You can tell how much it meant to him. Seconds after his official call, the magnitude of the moment seemed to hit him.

“Oh my god, I can’t believe they did it,” he said in awe.

Hastings’ voice was full over emotion as he told Kosmicki to take his headset off and listen to the crowd. To take in the moment.

This was half a century in the making. The Nuggets toiled in the NBA since 1976 with a conference title to their name before this magical playoff run. The No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, Denver left no doubt as to which team was the best in the league. They downed the Timberwolves, battled by the Suns, humbled the Lakers and then ended the Heat’s Cinderella story.

They did it.
