Nikola Jokić coldly rejects a young fan’s request! The Denver Nuggets star center has had a unique personality when compared to his fellow stars. In short, it does feel like that Serbian baller hasn’t been media-trained. There’s an instance where Jokic expressed happiness after winning the MVP with a gentle shrug, partly raising his hands and shaking his wrists with a grin. Meanwhile, other stars usually have emotional outbursts. Last night, he did something with similar energy!

Whenever a kid approaches an NBA star, we can find the players take their time out to sign their jerseys and even pose for a picture. It doesn’t matter even if it is a superstar like LeBron James. The Lakers superstar goes the distance to make the young fan happy. However, Jokic wasn’t feeling it last night.

After the overtime win over the New Orleans Pelicans, Nikola Jokić was held up at the post-game interview for his 27-13-10 performance. Following the interview, the star rushed to the locker room. At that time, a young fan reached out with a pen and notepad for an autograph. Guess what? The big man coldly ignored it and walked straight past him, leaving the fan visibly disappointed.

A fan upset with the act wrote, “Surely they will deduct MVP points for this type of behaviour.” Undoubtedly, the Joker is one of the top prospects to take home the MVP award for his consistent triple-double effort. While the post-game behavior isn’t a criterion for MVP calculation, it was evident that the fan was not impressed with the act. Anyway, let’s find out what other fans feel.

Nikola Jokić’s ice-cold move sparks wild comparisons across the league

Firstly, a fan compared Joker to his close buddy, Luka Doncic. These two players have a unique bond in the league. They can be often seen pranking each other and pulling each other’s legs off the court. However, unlike Jokic, Luka Doncic has a good rapport with the media, and can also be seen acknowledging his fans’ requests. Pointing that out, a fan wrote, “Luka would never.”

Following that, another fan compared the Serbian big man to the current legends of the game. This fan wrote, “Steph and LeBron would never.” Notably, a day ago, Stephen Curry proved to himself why he was a fan favorite. Following the breakout performance on Saturday against the Wolves, Curry headed to the locker room. At that time, he gave away his kicks to a young fan. Unfortunately, another fan took it away.

Curry, on the other hand, instead of walking away, stood there and made sure that the kid received the shoes. Truly a contrasting behavior. However, Jokic still received a legendary comparison. A fan shared a picture of Michael Jordan with the words, “F**k them kids” Even though it’s a harsh criticism. MJ is often associated with hating young fans, especially after a viral video where he was seen shooing away young fans who came near his parking lot.

On the other hand, a fan took a stand for the baller and revealed the reason behind his behavior. The fan wrote, “He’s pissed they almost lost that game.” Anyway, it’s unfair to judge Jokic’s character just in one instance. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
