The defending champions, Denver Nuggets are indeed on a winning spree. They are in the first position in the Western Conference standings with 8 wins, and one loss. They evidently took up from where they left off last season. The win was undoubtedly orchestrated by the best player in the world currently, Nikola Jokic. He scored 35 points, coupled with 13 rebounds, and 5 assists.

The win against Stephen Curry‘s Golden State Warriors came at 108-105 points. Curry scored 23 and was the GSW’s highest scorer. However, the Joker won everyone’s heart after a couple of incidents after the match.

Humble about the win.

In an X (formerly Twitter) post shared by ‘TNT Sports’, Jokic is seen opening up on winning continuous games and taking the better of everyone.

Jokic said, “We don’t think like that we’re just trying to win every game, you know, we don’t have a pressure of being the champions, we are just enjoying the moment, playing together and trying to win as much as possible.”?Jokic also praises Nuggets guard K. Caldwell-Pope for his impressive performance.

It is clear from their approach, that they are eyeing to win every game. With a strong roster, they are the title contenders yet again. What sets them apart, is their winning mentality. And Jokic being their best man on the field, resembles this in his gameplay.

The Joker makes fun of Nuggets’ Producer!

In another funny video circulating on the internet, Jokic makes fun of the Denver Nuggets’ producer and editor Taylor Vincek. She fell off her chair during the post-match media conference and Jokic could not stop laughing at the sight. He did not stop at just that. Jokic went further by imitating her falling down, making a strange, funny face. This set the whole media house into hysterics.
