The Nuggets unveiled their 2022-23 championship rings before their home contest.
They swept the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals before beating the Miami Heat in five games in the NBA Finals.
And Denver’s home crowd was extra rowdy for their meeting against Los Angeles.
On Tuesday night, the Nuggets were up late in the fourth quarter.
As Lakers small forward Cam Reddish was attempting free throws, the crowd sent shots at the Los Angeles franchise.
“Who’s your daddy?! Who’s your daddy?!” the Nuggets fans screamed.
TNT’s cameras then pointed at LeBron, who was emotionless on the bench.
NBA fans were in awe of Denver’s chant toward the Lakers team.
One wrote: “Love this!”
Another added: “That’s just brutal.”
A third stated: “So disrespectful.”
Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic posted a triple-double with 29 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists.
James recorded 21 points, eight rebounds, and five assists in the losing effort.
