Nikola Jokic quickly becoming one of NBA’s most likable players
May 8, 2019, 12:40 PM
Nikola Jokic has been arguably the best player on the court night in and night out for the Denver Nuggets, if not the entire NBA, throughout this postseason, averaging per game 24.5 points, 13.1 rebounds and 9.0 assists.
However, “The Joker” is quickly becoming one of the most likable figures in the league off the court as well.
There’s no better example of this than the All-Star’s public battle with the postgame microphone during the Nuggets series with the Portland Trail Blazers (See: Jokic vs. the microphone – Part I | Jokic vs. the microphone – Part II)
Jokic’s charm and witty personality doesn’t likely come as a shock to many Nuggets fans who’ve followed the budding NBA superstar over the past few years.
But for those who don’t know, here’s a fun sampling of “The Joker” in action:
“Somebody’s typing again”
“Jump high”
“He made me nervous. I’m sweating because of ‘Big Honey’”
Pregame strutting for the camera
