Nikola Jokic is as real as they come. The Denver Nuggets star player always keeps it simple. The Nuggets’ media day generated a great fan following for the already-loved Serbian. It also served to show just how pure the two-time NBA MVP is. Nikola gives a lot of importance to his family. But, he is devoted to the game and gives it his all when he is on the court. That was what landed the Nuggets their first championship, and cost LeBron James his fifth.
His hard work, dedication, work ethic, and consistency are aspects that everyone in the league aspires to follow.
