so fucking proud of this man. he’s not just a great player he’s a great person a great friend, teamate, dad, husband , son and brother
You must know him quite well.
You sound like Mike Malone
@@nicholsdeshan listening to his well spoken words got me moving different
@@jumpinjohnnyruss from the moments i get to see of him on tv i can only imagine how he is outside of the league
*Teammate- take more pride in your spelling than in pretending you know Nikola. He’s more excited for the parade (not much) than in your exaggerated fandom 😂🤷🏽♂️
He gets asked how he feels about winning the ship and dominating the entire post season and he said "we did a job". This dude doesn't take a game too seriously and that's a compliment to him. So happy to see him get this ring.
Yeah his brothers are always WAY more excited than him
He works hard and gets the job done in the end that's all we can do really haha
If you take game too seriously u won't have fun playing it. That is why they say just go out there and have fun, because when you have fun you are best at it, and you learn and get better much faster. Kids when they play they learn, it is a best process of learning.
It is a game...nobody must take it like a war!Point is to have funn and make money...
@@zemljajeravna5336 exactly… as soon as you start treating it like a job is when you start to lose drive.
Jokic literally walks into his post game interview WITHOUT a cap and/ or championship t-shirt!! How incredibly humble and low is this guy!! Joker truly loves basketball!
Can’t forget without his finals mvp trophy.
Y’all keep sayin this is humbling. It’s cool to a degree, but then it just gets disrespectful, put the shirt on at least. Your a CHAMPION stop being so nonchalant about it. Yes there more to life than basketball, But He wouldn’t be half the an He is today if it WASNT for basketball. I want my player to have a Lebron, Kobe, MJ mindset when it comes to basketball. If Jokic was losing and had this mindset everyone would kill him
@@hightolerance8728He’s more of a team player, he doesn’t have to be arrogant.
@@hightolerance8728 If you want a player with the mindset of LBJ, Kobe and MJ no one is stopping you.
His mindset is what got him a championship, he knows what he has cause he almost lost it all when he was younger but his family was there for him.
With that mindset no matter how high or low he gets, he knows it's just a game. He knows his support is always there for him and he is not going to change for anyone.
"If Jokic was losing and had this mindset everyone would kill him" ???
Dude is almost averaging triple-doubles in the playoff and haters still bitching about his mindset. what a joke!
@@hightolerance8728 guess your team didn’t win 😂🤣😂🤣😂
He’s officially in that greatest centers of all time list
top 6 at minimum
Top 3 fs
Easily
Definitely
@@danielvn223 I mean top 3 are Wilt, Shaq, and Kareem (in any order) but he’s already past Hakeem for 4th for me
"Experience is not what happened to you. It's what you do with what happened to you". Subtle line but Nikola speaks the gospel. Guy is the man.
Wisdom
@@Nisowyd at 5 minutes almost 6 he also readapted the steps to success talk like Giannis
He’s basically saying even in loss he would be happy, he wanted to win but he’s saying hoop isn’t life, what a guy ❤
@@darthluchs_8993 i mean he is a multi millionaire…
2 time MVP, number 2 all time in offensive rating rn, Finals MVP, and first player to lead the playoffs in Points, Rebounds, and assists and still got a lot left in the tank.
Not to mention in only 20 games.
He's not even a freak of nature like LBJ or Shaq. He looks like a goofy PE teacher. Here he is.. proving doubters wrong
@@TOOMUCHSAUCE91 I would disagree, he’s a freak if nature because of his crazy touch shooting through contact, his amazing coordination to get the ball anywhere he wants and his incredible iq. But, I’m not even American and maybe I don’t get what you’re saying 😅
@@TOOMUCHSAUCE91 He's a 7 footer with great hand eye coordination and footwork even though a lot of the time he looks like he's stumbling around.
@Chief Critic I agree and kendrick Perkins was the one to start that narrative 🤦♂️
They really just went through the playoffs with ease..as a bucks fan that’s scary
@@kaya856 If both teams are healthy, that goes seven.
@Kay A honestly bucks didn’t deserve a finals this year…they played horribly..but seeing the heat knock out the 1 and 2 seed and then lose 4-1 in the finals is scary..the nuggets didn’t have a close series all playoffs
Nah 1 and done. You Denver bandwagons better enjoy this only chip lmao
@@butskiiueepp1625 L
@@butskiiueepp1625 shut up
Jokic shut A LOT of people and haters up this post season. All the bullsh*t talk about him being a regular season star and choking in the playoffs is over. Shows that it takes a TEAM to win. Watch everyone will be a jokic fan next year. Dude is the best player in the nba and its not even close.
The most laughable thing is that Embiid is worse in the Playoffs than the Joker 😂😂😂😂.
WRONG! But he is white, I will give you that. White Supremest also loved Larry Bird.
@@nedkent5239 so what he white. What's that got to do with anything
Yup and the haters don’t realize that losing is a big part of winning. They went through the rough years and improved and came out on top. I’m sure they will turn into a dynasty.
@@nedkent5239 even if people like Jokic because he is white, can u blame them? Honestly I have no problem with that as a black man because the nba is fucking 70% black. It was actually cool asl to see a white serbian dude dominate dudes with 40 inch verticals and world class athleticism without his feet leaving the ground. I am also a cycling fan and my favorite rider is Biniam Girhmay. He was the first Black cyclist to get a world tour win and it isn’t just because he is black that I like him but because he is a rarity in the sport that I can relate too. Just like alot of people with Jokic. Jokic is special, and europeans have been disrespected in the nba for years until guys like Jokic, Giannis, and Luka arrived. Of course people are gonna cheer for him after he wins, its human nature…
His basketball IQ is off the charts, the fact he said he yelled at his team to stop shooting threes, & get easy points proves that, I absolutely hate when teams pass up easy twos, & point blank layups just to kick it out to the three point line...
Oldhead alert
@@carnage5350Winning basketball alert. If you’re shot isn’t falling take what the defense gives you. And the game was close. They didn’t need to brick 3s
@@carnage5350 it’s not about what generation you grew up in, it’s about playing winning basketball. At 30, I equally love and hate what the 3 point shot has done for the game…it’s a weapon but you still have to use it properly. Jokic was in the right for being frustrated in that moment. You play within the flow of the game….jacking up low percentage shots when you’ve already had a difficult time scoring never gets the job done and there’s been plenty of teams even in this era that have proved that true. The Warriors all those years have been an anomaly only because they have the best shooter(s) on the planet. But for most teams, it’s still hit or miss especially in the playoffs. So yes, they should’ve been going to the basket in those transition opportunities.
Amen. The overuse of 3’s is killing the game. Take some easy 2’s, mix it up. The game needs a lot of changes, tweaks, experiments. Guys like him are a breath of fresh air. You’ll see guys at the park playing like this. Go Sonics.
This guy is probably the most calm championship winner ever almost seems like he doesn't even care.
We eastern europeans are like that
Stoic • doesn’t show emotion
Ever met Timmy D?
Like a Normal after the game interviews.
I think its more like the "knowing what really matters" attitude. And to be honest, he appreciate the safety the money brings for himself and his family but he obviously doesn't like the US-lifestyle. Cool for me
This man really won the chip and said “nobody likes their job”
Lol he just likes his horses. As long as he keeps playing that way
He's a bit big to be riding horses-actually I understand he's into Chariot racing... Now you see why he doesn't like this job?
I bet you'd rather be Chariot racing also.
@@thegulch1780 😂 bro hell yeah, but money talks so NBA it is lol
@@magician_aleks2726 his last contract was $273 mil for 5 years
That freaking blows my mind!
The least amount of money he's making over the next five years is right now at $54 mil!
I can't believe I'm saying these numbers out loud!
Seems like he can have his chariots & basketball too...
That's got to be one hell of a stable he's got! Lol!
Have a good summer riding your chariots...

@@user-nu2jf8eu5i nope
There is something really magical about his apathetic yet somehow charismatic nature.
Dude was giving his daughter a piggyback ride off to the side while the team was posing with the trophy (and his FMVP.)
He's just... he's just the coolest. An absolute anti-LeBron, in the most positive and flattering sense possible.
Balkan mentality
@@whobitmyname thought the exact same thing

@@voiceofreason1829 balkans are not famous for being cool, the opposite maybe? come on voice of reason....
"it's good". lol I was impressed he went to shake hands with Heat players before anyone else. It was important he showed respect.
Why is that important to you?
Personally, I wouldn't be thinking about my opponents if I just became a champion in team sports

If this team stays together, stays humble, they might go on to win 3-4 more, they played a beautiful basketball from the beggining to the end
Healthy too. I wish all NBA teams health throughout the season, and the privilege, for us fans, of watching them take each other on at full strength in the playoffs.
Seriously. They had such a decisive run
It was a work of art wasn’t it? I agree beautiful basketball from the nuggets
3 to 4 more? Give me a break lol
If they get more shooters and solid defense I think they might get it back. LA won’t suck again (hopefully they do) Phoenix and Golden are going to be solid. You also got MEM if their NBA Dumb Boy gets it together they might make a dent as well..
This guy is the real MVP!
Give credit and flowers when it due. Stay humble and work hard, everything else will come! Great job champ.
He said no parade wanna go home....brutally honest....love it....epic interview....
Drafted during a Taco Bell ad, became the lowest drafted NBA player ever to win the Finals MVP. 1st player in NBA history to lead all players in points, rebounds and assists in a single postseason!
Teams were like, who is this guy he can't even jump and he wants to play basketball
In the entire playoffs? Cause bron did it in a few playoff series
@@ForeverHuesEntire playoffs.
@@ForeverHues in history; Lebron never did that.

Most legendary start to a press conference ever.
His honesty in saying that basketball is just a job for him and that there are more important things is so refreshing to hear tbh
Was looking for this comment. Very refreshing to hear.
Congrats to the Nuggets on winning the NBA championship for the first time ever. You guys waited over 40 decades to get to this moment and as an avid Lakers fan here I'm so happy for you guys. Congrats to the Joker on not winning the Finals MVP but also winning the title too. Could've been more happier for you on achieving this goal.
Djokovic and Jokic are two great Serbs on top of the world!!!
Giannis and Jokic best faces of the league. Humble superstars loyal to the franchise and both multiple regular season MVPs and now both have a finals MVP.
Except Jokic can play basketball on the highest level, while Giannis is just a bulldozer.
@@adamkanizsai2990 stfu casual
@@adamkanizsai2990 I am Serbian and I love Jokic, but disrespect to an amazing player like that is just unacceptable
@@mihajlojovic8631 unfortunately it's absolutely not a disrespect, it's a fact. Giannis has no moves in his arsenal, he only can run through defenders. No good shooting ability, no good free throws, no good passing ability, lots of turnovers, etc. On the other hand, Jokic: exceptional midrange, three point and free throw shooter, lots of moves in the post, best passer big man ever, underrated defender, etc.
You can say, that Giannis is humble, maybe from some perspective it's true to his persona, but in my opinion really humble players start working on their games. If Giannis starts to practice his shooting, post moves, ball handling, vision, passing ability, intead of bulking up more muscles, he can be a really good basketball player. Until this, he is just an NFL player, playing basketball, in my eyes.
Perfect NBA models. But most insist on the Ja Morant types
Absolute legend.
They way he conducted himself in the interview is GOLD and humble, something many other people should take on board
What impressed me more about the interview and how he conducted himself was that he certainly looked buzzed and light-headed, possibly from all that bubbly going around the locker rooms at the time, and he still carried himself so well! :)
One great man lives a life like a turtle who will live 150 years so calm reserved humble, i love him to bits
Thank you for what you’ve done for the game 🏀
Nikola’s humility and realism in such an historic moment is remarkable. Being one of the best NBA players at the moment, just how relatable he seems to “everyone else” is refreshing to say the least.
"We did a job". As an owner, I can't imagine hearing better words come out of your star players mouths. This man, this team will go down in Denver Nuggets lore as the Mysterious Man from Serbia who brought us our first championship. As great as the man is, history will turn him into something even more magical. Enjoy the ride Nuggets fans!
As an American married to a Serbian, I am so happy for him and his family. His true humbleness is an example for Americans and the world. Also his calling out of the embellishment of the media narrative is true Serbian nature. Čestitam Nikola.
Just a regular dude messing with the media who happens to be amazing at basketball. You love to see it.
Nikola ❤Jokić #15 MVP 🥇💪🏻🇷🇸🏀🏆
dude's clearly distressed about realizing there's a parade while all he wants to do is to go back home to his horses.
Well USA not his home, what's the problem with that..his family friends there, NBA is a job
people always mention his horses like his entire family and friends aren’t based over there
"When is parade? When is parade?... No."
@@davidchandler6885 Well its to celebrate with the city you play for and all the fans. Its an obligation and something you should look forward to.
Joki should ride a horse at the parade
Giannis fan here…. this guy best player in the league… and my respect for him now after this championship is past due.. didn’t believe in him until this post season hats off Jokić
Christ nobody cares who you are fan of just say your piece and be done with it.
how did u feel about Giannis when bucks won?? sucha joke recency bias lmfao
some cases are real difficult, never mind
Not the best player in the league! Not a factual statement!
@@realtv8132Giannis is by far
Word Is Joker Is Already At Home Tucking His Daughter To Sleep, Most Valuable Father.
What?
Prototype 5 for the space and pace era of the NBA. He can still improve in a few areas too. From a pure basketball fan perspective he is truly a joy to watch. I hope he is just in that phase where it hasn't hit him yet - but I feel like I am happier for him than he is for himself with this win.
As a lakers & all around nba fan, I am so happy for Denver, their fans, the players, the city. Yall deserve this so much. I really hope the core guys stay and continue to make history. What a great season it was
He was definitely feeling good. It would be amazing to party with the team. Can’t imagine how happy they all must be.

Happiness arced fondly above us,
left us alone, flew off and away
I'm so damn happy right now...my favorite team finally won a title. Man... I'm stunned. Thank You Joker.
Jokic has the look of I don’t care about a ring I’m going for dynasty
lol😂😂😂
Nope. He's look is I don't care about a ring or dynasty, I care for my horses back in Serbia..
@@mohammadcali554 You were 6 minutes ahead of me man, was going to say verbatim: "More like doesn't care about ring or dynasty, can't wait to pet his horses." Haha.
Watch the whole video haha he doesn’t give a damn about any of it
He doesn't even care about the parade too, he just wants to go home 🤣🤣
Djokovic and now Jokic! Love it! Srbija!!!!
Nikola Jokic - humble, funny and what a player!!! This championship was more than due and deserved! Congrats to the best team in 2023!
9:50 Seriously, Serbia is on a roll, first Djokovic, now Jokic. Both breaking records in their sports. 🤌🤌
is it just me ... or jokic just won an nba finals without effort and is just nonchalant about it. like damn, what a guy
Lots of hard work
After losing that game by one point, I saw the look on his face going to the locker room.
He wasn't losing again.
He definitely put in effort.
Listen to his words...continuous growth every day. You must experience pain, before you can truly appreciate the victory. So proud of our Denver Nuggets!
Such an incredible humble guy. I have an office in Belgrado, Serbia since 2008 and I have got to know their culture, their values and the people of Serbia are just awesome.
I really like how much respect teammates have to Nicola!
„When is parade?“ „No, I need to go home“😂😂😂 Love this guy! Humble, not looking for spotlight and doesn‘t give a damn about attention and all this stuff. Should be an inspiration for a lot of people. Is at least to me
Shoulda won MVP. But a ring is a cool replacement
he won finals MVP
@@dusttaker True. I was talking about regular season though 😅
Finals mvp >>>>>>>>>>> league mvp
@@KEENANALLENASMRGLASS fair.
Cool is an understatement. Joel's MVP has been rendered f-ing laughable.
Love how he did what Giannis did won two mvps then took the chip I hope we see a finals between the two!
Kcp has won an nba champion twice by beating the heat twice
And played well, hit chutch shots both times.
I love how Jokic fields the boring, meaningless questions with grace and aplomb. He is a breath of rarified air in a world of inanity.
Wow. When are you dropping a book?

This man is a walking thesaurus
@@BangaXV I am a writer. I do mostly movie reviews and pop culture, like the ABCs of Redneck Culture and the ABCs of Traveling-The Joys of Flying Edition. I also have the largest collection of Christmas movie reviews on the internet, mostly scathing. Just Google Christmas Movie Reviews, it should come up number 1 or 2.
Massive middle finger to all of the mainstream sports commentators who talked a lot of crap about Jokic and the Nuggets over the years. 🎉
If u watch how jokic plays, pure fundamentals without wasting movements not flashy but efficient
Can’t believe people are really mad about how un phased and nonchalant he is about winning a championship. Dude is the definition of don’t let the money and fame and success change you. He’s not gonna go full Lebron and claim he’s the greatest basketball player in the world because he won a chip. He was humble before the success and still humble after. My dude is already drunk and jumped in a pool with his right hand man Jamal. His family is right there with him he’s probably going crazy in the back doing lines for all we know 😂
I'm a heat fan and if losing the finals is losing to this guy, I'm not upset as much. Denver are clearly out of this world
Nba is safe because of this man🎉
This!
Please like this comment, everybody. It needs to be seen by all.
Dude says "i guess everybody hates his job" when asked how it feels to win a championship. Im ded
Kendrick Perkins should be ashamed of himself robbing this guy of his MVP.
I detest that race warhawk with a passion
Kendrick Perkins and Shannon Sharpe both have a little Juicy in them
Bill Russell would have been so happy to see this man win a championship.
Bro don't even care about the parade, he just wants to get back to Serbia 😂
Bro won the ship and said I really got to stay for the parade lmao
Lol Jokic realizing he booked his flight home before the parade.
Истинска величина је у једноставности. Јокићу, Србија те воли!!!Браво, Денвер, all the best!
Nikola & Luka would be an unstoppable force.
It seems that he very much loved by all. It's amazing when the competition loves and speaks highly of you. That speaks volumes about his character as a leader and a person. 💯👍👌
"you need to be good ,then you need to fail" so humble and smart guy !
crazy boys :D Congrats to beautiful City of Denver! Well deserved
"It is a really good moment to be a Serbian!" says Jokic. Couldn't agree more!
6:40 my man just wanna go home 😂
This man is always correcting away from these limited media narratives, I love it. It’s not just the starting 5, it’s the team, it’s not just my daughter, it’s my whole family, I didn’t slam the chair, I yelled at them, they’re used to it. His mind is healthy, he just puts his head down and he appreciates the process and experience.
A normal human unchanged by the millions
Jokic not only shut up his critics this season, he did so while having the single greatest individual postseason in league history… 🤫🤐
There’s more to life than basketball, his identity is not tied solely for being a basketball player. He looks at basketball as his career and a job to do. I think that’s why he’s so humble and chill about winning the championship.
He deserves this! So happy for Jokic!
Really cool to see someone be themselves. Just genuinely caring about what matters to them, and keeping their own priorities in order.
Also cool to hear a modern 3pt shooting big talk ab getting those inside buckets.
You just can’t help but to like this guy! Congrats Jokic you all deserve this. 5 years in the making!
Jokic is a rare breed, man. He deserves it all. Champion!👏
Nikola Jokic 🇷🇸you are the best ! Respect and greetings from Greece🇬🇷
This is what a real MVP looks like. Embiid is a fraud MVP.

Nikola is literally the answers you give in story mode when you are trying to be humble. Only he is 100% genuine and sincere.
Nikola Jokic and this Nuggets team is a much needed great example for teamwork in the NBA.
Nikola Jokic, the gentle giant, you're incredible! You've earned it, well done!
He isn't gentle, there is probably a better word. Maybe kind or well mannered but he is not gentle. He is a fierce competitor.
What Embiid needs to do to get finals MVP? xD Bravo Jokara, sasvim zasluženo ste osvojili prsten!
Joking is one of the most complete basketball players I have ever seen. I've known how good he is for years. He also has one of the best feels for the game which is actually the distinguishing elevating factor between the most elite players.
Congrats, Denver! First time ever to the NBA Finals... and now coming out with the hardware! BRAVO!
That mvp trophy gonna get lost in his closet😂
I’m really wondering, what kind of party will it be in his hometown Sombor.
Congrats Nikola, you honestly deserved everything you’ve achieved this year.
Enjoy in your earned vacation 🏆🏆❤️❤️🏀
I would imagine a ticker-tape parade with Joker in a chariot pulled by his favorite horses, with the mayor of Sombor and the country's President out there to welcome him. Kinda like the Roman Empire times or something. He deserves no less. Lovely time indeed for Serbian sports right now!

2️⃣8️⃣. MJ also won his first at 28 and both Shaq and LeBron at 27 if I'm not mistaken? Who else thinks that Jokić, Murray, and this group maybe...just maybe...have Repeats written all over them?
They could but Jokic looks like he barely cares about winning this one. I don’t see him having the drive to go for multiple championships
@@pineapplegamer6986 doesn’t look like he needed the “drive” to win this one. The guy cares about his family more than basketball, yes, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t the best player in the league currently, and that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about his job. He sees it as his job to do his best, and it’s also his passion. I think he can totally have his mindset of just being excellent. Excessive emotion doesn’t win, excellence does
