<\/p>\n

Ever since LeBron James<\/strong><\/a> famously took his talents to South Beach<\/a> in 2010, the NBA<\/a> has been obsessed with the concept of superteams. The thinking goes that if one superstar is great, two superstars are even better. And three superstars? Well, you can start mapping out the parade routes.<\/p>\n

But much like mortgage interest rates<\/a> below 3%, the superteam era just might be kaput.<\/p>\n

And if you need evidence, look no further than the Western Conference Champion Denver Nuggets<\/strong>\u2014or their NBA Finals foe, the Miami Heat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On the road to their first-ever NBA Finals, the Nuggets vanquished two supposed superteams: the Phoenix Suns<\/strong> and Los Angeles Lakers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You might even draw a parallel between house shopping and this well-built Nuggets squad. Perhaps every bell and whistle isn\u2019t absolutely necessary<\/em> in a dream home. Sure, they\u2019re fun for bragging rights. But as must-haves go, a solid foundation and maybe one high-value amenity will do the trick.<\/p>\n

And in the case of Denver\u2019s roster, that valuable asset is the All-NBA center, Nikola Jokic<\/strong>. He wasn\u2019t named the league\u2019s Most Valuable Player this season, but the previous two-time MVP will be ecstatic to forgo an individual honor in favor of a championship ring.<\/p>\n

On a finals mission of our own, we headed deep into the Rocky Mountains to scout the homes of Jokic and his teammates. While the Nuggets aren\u2019t a superteam, the players do own some superstar-caliber real estate.<\/p>\n

Nikola Jokic\u2019s home is no joke<\/h2>\n

Jokic is the man in the middle for the Nuggets, and his scoring, rebounding, and passing abilities are unparalleled in the league. He left his native Serbia in 2015 and landed in Denver<\/a> as an unheralded, second-round draft pick. Over the past eight seasons, he\u2019s racked up numerous All-Star appearances and All-NBA nods and led the team into the postseason for four straight years.<\/p>\n

In July 2022, he signed a contract befitting his status as one of the league\u2019s best players: a five-year, $270 million agreement that will keep him in Denver through 2028. We couldn\u2019t find evidence that he went house hunting (again) in the wake of his massive deal, but we\u2019re pretty sure we\u2019ve located where he\u2019s settled\u2014for now.<\/p>\n

An LLC that appears to be connected to Jokic purchased a 29-room mansion in the Cherry Hills Village<\/a>\u00a0suburb for $4.5 million in late 2021. Private and gated, the home landed on the market in June 2021 for $5.3 million.<\/p>\n

The listing marketed the place as an \u201cOld World estate\u201d with \u201ctrue palatial elegance.\u201d Perhaps that vibe appealed to the big man from the Balkans.<\/p>\n

Replete with marble, chandeliers, and large living spaces, the 12,271-square-foot home is certainly opulent. High-end amenities include a 12-seat home theater, a gym, and guest apartments. Out back, there\u2019s a resort-style pool and pool house, outfitted with a kitchen.<\/p>\n

Is this Nikola Jokic\u2019s mansion?<\/p>\n

Realtor.com<\/p>\n

Situated about 10 miles south of downtown, the posh suburb is teeming with multimillion-dollar mansions.<\/p>\n

There are currently roughly 30 homes for sale in Cherry Hills Village, including a newly completed $29 million spec mansion<\/a>. Perhaps Jokic won\u2019t need to look too far if he wants to upgrade his already luxe living situation this summer.<\/p>\n

Jamal Murray keeps it modest<\/h2>\n

While he might own a larger place in his native Canada, point guard Jamal Murray<\/strong> keeps relatively modest digs in Denver. In July 2019, an LLC connected to the province of Ontario spent $870,000 on a townhouse in the city\u2019s Jefferson Park<\/a> neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The four-level residence was built in 2014 and offers a rooftop terrace with spectacular city and mountain views.<\/p>\n

The three-bedroom home features a cute kitchen with bar seating, a couple of cozy living spaces, and a petite dining room. Best of all, it\u2019s only about a mile from Ball Arena.<\/p>\n

Michael Porter Jr. digs downtown Denver<\/h2>\n

Drafted in 2018 by the Nuggets, sharp-shooting forward Michael Porter Jr.<\/strong> took his time before settling down in Denver. When he finally splurged on a downtown<\/a> condo in August 2021, he opted for supreme style. Porter purchased a four-bedroom unit in the Four Seasons Residences of Denver<\/a> for $4,525,000.<\/p>\n

Just a 10-minute walk from the arena, the building is said to offer an \u201cunparalleled level of service and amenities,\u201d including a doorman, private elevators, and a rooftop pool.<\/p>\n

The home was initially listed in late 2019 for $5 million and marketed as \u201cthe personal residence of one of the world\u2019s most revered masters of public architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n

It turns out, Porter bought the condo from Curtis Fentress<\/strong>, the architect who designed the main passenger terminal at Denver International Airport. Fentress is considered a pioneer in the sustainable design field, and his firm has tackled a range of designs for commercial clients, government entities, and other airports.<\/p>\n

Featured in Architectural Digest<\/a> in 2016, the art-filled apartment is said to have some of the best views in the city. There\u2019s no word on whether Porter got to keep the sheep.<\/p>\n

KCP not spotted in Denver<\/h2>\n

In his first season with the Nuggets, well-traveled guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope<\/strong>\u00a0(aka KCP) is on the hunt for his second championship ring\u2014and perhaps a place to stay in Denver.<\/p>\n

A winner in 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers, he had a modern home near the beach in Playa Vista, CA<\/a>, that he\u00a0listed<\/a> in July 2021 for $4.95 million. It was sold a month later for $4.6 million\u2014right around the same time the Lakers sent him to the Washington Wizards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After the trade, KCP purchased a $4.9 million mansion in Potomac, MD<\/a>, in September 2021. He still owns the elegant six-bedroom estate, which features \u201cembassy-sized\u201d living and dining rooms and a professional sport court out back.<\/p>\n

And while we couldn\u2019t find any evidence of a KCP-0wned property in Colorado, the Georgia native does own an off-season home near Atlanta<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 10,188-square-foot Sandy Springs, GA<\/a>, mansion was custom-built on one of the area\u2019s largest lots. Caldwell-Pope purchased the six-bedroom residence in 2016 for $1.6 million.<\/p>\n

Aaron Gordon goes big in Colorado<\/h2>\n

Aaron Gordon<\/strong> just wrapped up his second full season with the Nuggets, and it appears he\u2019s put down serious roots. We can certainly confirm that this power forward has made some power moves off the court.<\/p>\n

After joining Denver in 2021 via a trade, he felt the need for lots of space. We\u2019re talking warehouse-sized space. In the video below, you can see one of Gordon\u2019s Denver warehouses, which has been converted into a live-work space, complete with a kitchen, game room, and room for his luxury cars.<\/p>\n\n

The warehouse sits about 10 miles east of downtown Denver, and Gordon purchased the place in June 2021 for $2.35 million.<\/p>\n

Gordon likely also splurged on at least one\u2014possibly two\u2014warehouse spaces in the city\u2019s RiNo Arts District. Both buildings\u2014totaling more than 12,000 square feet\u2014were sold to a cash buyer in January 2022 for $5.71 million. The full basketball court in the video below might actually be at one of those warehouses.<\/p>\n

But if Gordon wants to live in a more conventional space, he can always head back to his traditional home in Orlando, FL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Purchased for $3.55 million in early 2019, the five-bedroom mansion on Lake Tibet features 140 feet of shoreline. Gordon scored this contemporary gem while starring for the Orlando Magic<\/strong>, the team that drafted him in 2014. But given his supersized investments in Denver, it wouldn\u2019t be a shock to see this Sunshine State retreat back on the market.<\/p>\n

Jeff Green builds his dream house<\/h2>\n

Gordon isn\u2019t the only Nugget with property in Florida. Fellow forward Jeff Green<\/strong>\u00a0built a dream house for his family in Pinecrest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have any specs on Green\u2019s gorgeous home, because he purchased a teardown in the South Florida town in 2017 for $1.35 million.<\/p>\n

And based on his wife\u2019s Instagram photos, the couple sank a few more million into creating a clean and modern residence with a gorgeous pool there.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The head coach lives in Highlands Ranch<\/h2>\n

Nuggets head coach Michael Malone<\/strong> took the Denver job at an extremely fortuitous time. His hiring in the Mile High City coincided with Jokic\u2019s arrival in 2015, and the coach has reaped the rewards of having one of the planet\u2019s best players at his disposal.<\/p>\n

Jokic\u2019s winning presence probably even makes the coach\u2019s commute a little more bearable. Of everyone on the team, Malone lives farthest from the arena. In 2015, he bought a five-bedroom, Highlands Ranch<\/a>\u00a0home for $1.48 million. The suburb sits at the edge of the Denver metro, about 20 miles south of downtown.<\/p>\n

Malone\u2019s 7,113-square-foot abode backs up to open space and offers sublime mountain views. High-end features include a front courtyard, custom walk-in closets in the primary bedroom, and a main-floor study with built-ins\u2014ready to display trophies. Will Malone add one in 2023?<\/p>\n
