DENVER (KDVR) — The excitement in Colorado is reaching new heights as the Denver Nuggets make their first-ever appearance in the NBA Finals. To add to the anticipation, a drone show company called Hire UAV Pro recently conducted a test run over the Metropolitan State University of Denver's athletic complex, near the iconic Ball Arena.
During the practice run, the company used a fleet of drones to create captivating visuals in the night sky. The drones illuminated images that outlined a jersey featuring the name "Jokic," paying tribute to the Nuggets' star player, followed by the phrase "the real MVP." The images were carefully rotated, ensuring everyone could enjoy the spectacle.
The collaboration between Hire UAV Pro and MSU came about through alumni who were employed by the drone show company. Tim Carroll, the director of media relations at MSU, explained that the company reached out to the university to utilize their space for the practice run. Carroll mentioned that the intention behind the drone show was to generate excitement and support for the Nuggets' playoff run as they make their way to the NBA Finals.
The success of the practice run has sparked hopes of incorporating similar drone shows into future games. The aim is to enhance the overall fan experience and create a memorable atmosphere in conjunction with the thrilling basketball action taking place on the court.
