“The Real Splash Brothers”: After Historic Victory, Nikola Jokic’s Whimsical Celebration With Teammate Leaves NBA World in Fits

The 2022-23 NBA season curtains down as the Denver Nuggets complete their dream run with an emphatic 4-1 Finals victory. Following the historic night, celebrations took over the Nuggets camp. The teammates engaged in splashing champagne and beers on each other after collecting the trophy. However, the Finals MVP Nikola Jokic’s unique celebration with his teammate induced a laugh riot on social media. 

The 2x MVP put up a grand performance in the Finals series with an extraordinary average of 30.2 points and 14 rebounds. Subsequently, the league awarded the Joker with the Finals MVP trophy. Even though Jokic didn’t emote much during the presentation ceremony, he saved it for later. Unlike his reserved personality off the court, the Serbian star brought out his playful side for the first-time in front of the camera. 

Nikola Jokic pulls out an uncanny celebration with his teammate

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to refer to Nikola Jokic as the most influential player in the Nuggets’ dream trophy run. Rightly so, the league named him the Finals MVP. Despite the overwhelming praise and attention, the 6’11 star stole the show with his whimsical celebration with his offense partner, Jamal Murray. 

While Murray struggled to escape Jokic’s hold, Joker dragged the 26-year-old star and threw him into the pool. Besides jumping into the pool himself, Jokic called his other teammates to join him. Following that, Michael Porter Jr. splashed into the pool with a cannonball jump. 

Nuggets support staff and media surrounded the pool as they celebrated the victory. Eventually, the pool video garnered a lot of reactions from fans, commenting on the duo’s bond and Jokic’s hilarious celebration.
