Lilo The Corgi (And The Denver Nuggets) For The Win!

The Denver Nuggets aren't the only ones celebrating their big win as the 2023 NBA Champions. Lilo the TikTok famous basketball-loving corgi is also in celebration mode after she correctly predicted they would win.

Shortly after the Nuggets won the series over the Miami Heat 94-89, Lilo's owner shared a TikTok video of how the adorable short-legged pup was celebrating the night away.

Lilo's owner, Denny Ku, shared the corgi's NBA Finals prediction on TikTok in late May. She predicted Nuggets in six.

While she was right about who our champs will be, she was off by just one game. Nuggets in 5! She also seemed to have an off day missing lots of shots which made some fans think it would be a wild series filled with ups and downs.

In a follow up video, shared just a day after, Lilo's prediction was recapped without all the misses and it appeared by the comment section that many fans were disagreeing with the pup's prediction and thought the Heat would win.

"We’re seeing history either way, an 8th seed winning a final or Nugs winning 1st time and Nikola breaking corgi curse," one follower wrote in the comments of the follow up video.

Another person added, "This dog is gonna be right I’m calling it now."

And Lilo ended up being right!

Shortly after the Nuggets won the championship and were celebrating their big win, Lilo also celebrated (since she technically had a paw in it.)

A video showing how she celebrated has the words, "When you pick the Nuggets to win you get to be part of the champagne celebration," on the top. And the caption reads, "Congrats to the @Denver Nuggets for making our NBA championship pick a reality.?"

"Gets it right when it’s important dog knows," one follower wrote.

Another added, "This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen."

The Nuggets made franchise history on Monday night as the NBA champions for the first time ever! And not only did they win the championship for the first time, but this was the team's first time making it into the NBA Finals.

The Nuggets finished the regular season with a record of 53-29, which is the best record in the Western Conference. They defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Phoenix Suns during the playoffs. They also swept the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

Of course, such an exciting season coming to an even more exciting championship for the Nuggets meant celebrations were in order, and star player Nikola Jokic made sure it was a splashing good time. Into the team pool they went! Jokic threw Jamal Murray in the pool full clothed, shoes and all, even still holding his champagne bottle.

Congratulations, Denver Nuggets! And of course, congratulations to Lilo the NBA-loving pup! Enjoy the offseason!
