As the Joker sat for the press conference after clinching the NBA finals, he was surprisingly upset. It was after he found out he would have to stay around in Denver for the championship parade. Initially, all he wanted to do was go home and savor the win with horse riding. However, his wishes quickly changed after he experienced the electrifying energy at the Nugget’s championship parade.
“You know that I told [you] that I don’t want to stay and parade, but I f***ing want to stay and parade,” said the two-time MVP addressing the erupting energy of the Nuggets fan.
Now, after fully relishing the joy of the parade, Nikola Jokic seems to have turned into a party animal. In a video circulating around Twitter, the Finals MVP can be seen dancing in front of a packed Las Vegas nightclub. It wasn’t just him.
