Wholesome Chemistry Forces Nikola Jokic To Break Into Rare Emotion After Triumph vs Celtics

After joining the Denver Nuggets following a trade request from the Orlando Magic, Aaron Gordon has developed a heartwarming friendship with two-time MVP Nikola Jokić. Together, they led the Nuggets to an NBA championship in the 2022-23 season. Talk about a match made in basketball heaven! The chemistry with the two-time MVP Nikola Jokić is undeniable. In tonight’s game against the Boston Celtics, the Nuggets emerged victorious with 115-109, but that’s not today’s headline! The real story is the bromance between Gordon and Jokic.

In the post-game interview, the “Joker” dropped this gem, “Sometimes I don’t even look and I know he is going to be there,” melting the hearts of all the fans and spectators. Tonight’s game ended with Nikola scoring yet another double-double with 32 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists while his friend, Aaron Gordon bagged 16 points, 9 rebounds, and 1 assist.

Gordon-Jokić Bond That Crosses Borders

Fresh off his second consecutive MVP award, Jokić competed in the EuroBasket tournament in his native Serbia following the 2022 season. While anticipating a delayed reunion with his teammates, one player sought an earlier connection.

Aaron Gordon, during his European vacation, surprised Jokic, even bringing his mum along. “I just wanted to let him know that he got a brother, no matter where he is in the world,” Gordon told ESPN. “After he’s done playing basketball and disappears, I’ll still be able to pull up on him.” Gordon added jokingly, to which Jokic wittily replied, “Yeah, I don’t know about that.”

Fast forward to championship glory. The Denver Nuggets celebrated its historic NBA Championship win last season with a massive citywide parade. However, Jokić wasted no time in departing for Serbia with a special guest: Aaron Gordon. For the second straight offseason, Gordon found himself exploring Europe.

Over a three-day Serbian adventure, Jokic became Gordon’s personal tour guide. During a recent episode of the Knuckleheads podcast, Gordon spilled the tea about Jokic’s life back home. “It’s cool, man. Big fella gets active, man,” he laughed. As per Gordon, Jokic is more than an MVP. Gordon emphasized, “He’s like the president, the mayor, the governor, the senator, whatever you want to call it out there, man. He’s him.”

Since joining the Nuggets, Gordon’s career has taken off. His newfound friendship with Jokic has pushed the Nuggets’ championship aspirations. Fueled by their off-court chemistry, Gordon’s shooting is on point right now, with a stellar field-goal percentage of 55.1 and 13.9 points per game.

This dynamic duo has been dominating the league! With a record of 43 wins and 20 losses, the Nuggets are comfortably sitting at No. 3 in the West and have their sights set on another championship ring. Will they repeat their success with Jokic and Gordon’s bromance? Only time will tell!
