Don't get high on the wins and don't get low on the losses. Nikola's Mom = facts. 🏀🏆

the humble champion. what a run.

This guy was more happy for his horse race than winning the championship. What a legend.

So much class and respect. He went straight to the heat bench after, now that’s humble. Hope he gets it next year

Don't get hype on winning Don't get down on losing Jokic's mom raised a humble champ

Not bad for a guy who is not the kind of NBA player stereotype. Not fancy, not "I'm gonna buy a Lamborghini now", not social media, very shy, very down to earth, and a hell of a player!. Americans are not accustomed to humble people, and this guy is the perfect example.

Nikola Jokic really understands the game of basketball.. He is a very intelligent athlete. "IN ORDER TO WIN, YOU NEED TO LOSE". what a smart person.

Nikola Jokic •NBA champion(2023) •NBA Finals MVP(2023) •2×NBA Most Valuable Player(2021,2022) •NBA WCF MVP(2023) •5×NBA All-Star(2019-2023) •3×All-NBA First Team(2019,2021-2022) •2×All-NBA Second Team(2020,2023) •NBA All-Rookie First Team(2016)

As a Serb I'd like to point out something that I can't help but notice that a lot of Americans kind of miss about Nikola - we as a people have a very strong sense of being a part of the collective and it is a defining trait of most of our men - we define our success as a contribution to our collective. Wether it is our family, our company, our team, our nation, it is always WE that comes before I. It was funny to hear this comment about the crowd celebrating in the streets at 6am how many of them will "call in sick" 😂 no guys, we'll just text our bosses and colleagues "we're celebrating our boy Jokić winning the ring, we'll get things done a bit later today" because another important trait of our national collective is being straight forward.

Jokic is such class. Seeing him shake hands with Heat players when the clock finished instead of celebrating first. That is rare these days and a true example of a great champion 🏆👑

Now we know why he was so mad on the bench... If they had to go back to miami he would've most likely missed the horse race

We have a saying in Serbia: Do not exalt yourself in victory, do not humiliate yourself in defeat. And Jokic is great example of that.

He looks uncomfortable when somebody talks about his insane stats and achievements. This dude is really humble

5:09 He actually was listening the whole time even though he looked zoned out. Which isn’t surprising it’s exactly how he plays he looks lethargic but is always coming up with a plan and processing everything around him. Definitely a very special mind.

that clip of Mike Malone and his brothers is nuts. 😂😂😂😂

Честитамо Шампиону Јокићу и Денверу поздрав из Србије.

This man just won an NBA championship and thinking about horse riding 😂😂

First Djokovic, then Jokic. Wow, what an era to be a proud Serb!!! ❤

If I remember correctly, Larry Bird had a similar reaction. After winning the only thing he wanted to do was go back home and go out on the lake and fish all day.

He only cares about true values, family , team, respect, game, heart and mind. He doesn't give a sh# about fake gold, bragging to be at center of attention, Americans are not used to it, but Serbians are generally warm-hearted and open people! I love him 💙🇷🇸 Will be visiting Belgrade again! Such an amazing people! ❣️🃏Go team Joker!!!!

Dude has his priorities straight. 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇺🇸☮️

Congrats to jokic. This guy is just so much fun to watch. I love the game and the way he gives interviews. Serbia has a new hero.

Championship ring: I sleep 😑 Horse racing trophy: REAL SHIT 😃

This year is being great for Serbia 🎉🎉

Man has Horse racing on Sunday😂

I’m sorry but this man is one of my GOATs I’ve never seen anyone like this.

GREETINGS FROM AUSTRALIA. BRAVO NIKOLA

Jokic brothers throwing a former basketball player like a ragdoll in the air. 😂🤣

Serbia is a country of 10 million people, and in the same generation dominates Global Tennis and Global Basketball ….is something amazing that probably would not hapen again in a country of this size. Amazing

Srbin za stolom, u samom centru, ostali oko njega, pružaju, ruku ne zna se ko pre. Bravo bravo, Bravo, Nikola, Pomaže Bog tebi I tvojima, živela Srbija

“You need to be bad and lose, so you can figure out how to win.” Nikola Jokic

this guy’s so articulate, just a class act. understands the game in a molecular level, even communication is a key part of their run

When your superstar is a humble one, the rest of the team will follow. Congrats Nuggets!

Novak just won his 23rd Major this year. Nikola just won his 1st NBA championship. Serbia has a lot to be proud of. Congrats to everyone.

Koliko smo svi u Srbiji srecni zbog tebe i tima.. bravo Nuggetsi!

Легенда !!! Serbia sending lots of love to the Denver Nuggets team, fans and city ! Let's do this again next year also !!! ❤️🇷🇸💪🏻

I am a Laker fan but I am not mad that the Nuggets won the championship. Jokic deserves every praise. What a humble human being. Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets!

So happy to hear a superstar say passing the ball is extremely important if you trying to win the whole thing. Scoring can just get you a game here and there.

I Learned the Value of Humility and Trusting others through this very down to earth MVP, Nikola Jokic, Congratulations Denver Nuggets . God bless the journey and this SPORT that WE LOVE.

hes done with side job now LOL hes going back to his main job with farming

“Don’t get high on a win but don’t get down on a loss.” Words to live by

Definitely not the most athletic player but he’s the best player for the last 3 years straight no doubt! Congrats Jokic! Such a humble champion

Without a doubt, he became my favorite player, always respectful and showing what he is on the pitch

I have never seen Nikola so relaxed and happy like all the interviews after finals. You can see that winning it all with his team was his biggest priority and now he got that weight off his shoulders and can focus on his family and horses.

We can see that he's uncomfortable winning because someone else lost the game. He is a symbol of solidarity and togetherness, not winner - loser perspective. That's why he needs his family, hometown and people with this kind of mentality. The world needs more Jokers.

Having his baby girl, his horses and "THE RING" on top - he probably thinks he's dreaming!

Congrats! Nikola Jokic, and Novak Djokovic! 🎉 Serbia's golden sons 🏆🏆

Love the "Not bad" moment at 6:50 . This is a nod to Novak Djokovic who uses this phrase to joke with one of the reporters on the ATP tour when his accomplishments are mentioned.

he's the perfect role model, and should be the face of the league. The league and the media tried to hype up Ja and Zion to make them the face of the league and it backfired. Jokic is a family man, down to earth, not flamboyant in terms of fashion and demeanour, humorous and confident. He's what a professional athlete should be, straight business and no off court drama or political bs.

I love how at the end of the game he made sure to shake every Miami Heat players hand. Great sportsmanship and a true leader.

He celebrated our city of Sombor ❤❤❤ HVALA

perkins should be there on the seat for roast session

I’m a GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS FAN. But it’s super hard not to root for the joker. He’s super humble and very like able. I’m super happy for him. ❤

You can’t do nothing but be happy for Jokic, he deserves it!

I LOVE this man. What a change from the norm. Inspiring dude. I have had some Serbian friends in my life and it is so funny to see his Serbian sense of humor.

Nikola has a type of energy where he’s the center of the universe (the sun) especially when he talks he commands answers to his questions. Same style in his play. And same leadership with his teammates and combines it with being humble and funny asf. That’s so unique and crucial to greatness.

Serbia and all of Europe are happy for Jokic, Murray and the Denver Nuggests!

His IQ might be the best of all time...He knows the game inside and out. Offense and defense. He may not be the best defender but he understands his assignments and is a true team player.

This is like his "job". He's clocked out and can't wait to go home and do something fun, like horse racing lol

He's not the guy that will party all night after a championship, but rather go to a chik-fil-a drive thru

Most players after winning the title: I am the best player in the NBA/ I am the greatest ever. After this i am gonna talk about it for the whole summer. Jokić be like: I have better things to do. See you next season.

My man looks more excited about racing his horses that winning nba chip I love this dude!!!

Im not even a massive fan of the NBA. But Jokić what a guy, what a player an absolute legend.

im a heat fan but man i love the joker cant imagine how cool is that to play with a humble star like that,congrats denver🎉🎉

Not just the city of denver won... the whole serbia too

Congrats to the Denver nuggets and their fans for winning their first championship well deserved 🤝 lakers fan

Jokic embraced and shook hands when Denver lost in prior years in the playoffs and did the same when they won. Jokic is why the NBA TV ratings were so much better than in recent years.

Those horses are the real MVP lmao

Legendary interview of a Legendary man. God bless him!

so humble ❤

He sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger at times. That's the best basketball on planet Earth right now.

Remember when perkins said Jokic was a stat padder. Now he's an NBA champion

Robbed of the MVP this year

He's so natural, simple, funny, and humble. That's Jokic.

Honest. Respectful. Calm. Collected. Easy going. Versatile (as a human being, not only as a player) A n utter delight to listen to this man.

Selfless superstar🔥

Congrats to the most humble finals mvp the 🃏 . I think he should get his 🐎 a ring too 😂

Nikola spent the entire night telling everyone he wanted to go home, what a legend.

man... his humility is just as surprising as his stats. really, a role model. no doubt his parents did one hell of a job raising him.

He's a very respectful and friendly person. A well rounded young man who is appreciated by his teammates and franchise. The Miami Heat gave them a good run.. 👍 👌 🙌

He was so excited to take the team plane to watch his horses

1st player in NBA history to lead all players in points, rebounds and assists in a single postseason

Nikola is the Rocky of MVPs, and loves his horses😅😅😅 we love you man and Denver🎉🎉🎉

The man is working 9-5, let him go home. 😂 Even Robot Kawhi was hyped up when he won the chip, but Jokic makes Tim Duncan looks like talkative. 😂

He just won the NBA championship and now he's focused on winning his horse racing. Winner mentality. Much respect. 😁

people see him as different.. but truth is we're just conditioned, as americans, to care about vanity things. thats why people unhappy and hes just chill and peaceful

He got real passionate when he talked about passing. Simple. Keep everyone involved. Everyone touch the ball.

Nikola all Serbia did not sleep for so many, many nights because of you and Novak. But we don't regret. Love from Serbia 🇷🇸❤

Congratulations to the entire Denver Nuggets team for the title of NBA champion, trophy. Jokić's daughter on the main podium, the stage, in focus... Can you imagine her reaction to the video in some 12 years, as a teenager, summing up everything in her mind, the experience, where she was, part of that ceremony in 2023?! Priceless.

Joker might be my favorite athlete in any sport right now and I would rank basketball and the nuggets 3rd behind the Broncos and Avs being number 1. This dude is so humble, honest and funny I don’t know how anyone could hate on this guy.

The media coverage of this title run was irrelevant because greatness speaks for itself ‼️CHAMPION 🏆

Happy for him such a respectable guy

what an absolute beautiful human. dude is the best player on the planet and just had one of the most, if not the best playoff runs of any player ever. Capped off with that Finals MVP and Championship and looked his happiest being with his family and then talking about going home to race horses. Joker knows what is really important in life. That should be the face of the NBA. Not these clowns out here trying to be gangsters flashing money and trying to flex everything,

“I put him under the pressure. I don’t feel bad at all”. I love that man 😂

Jokic and the Nuggets got me watching the NBA again. Im not even a Nuggets fan but I rooted for them from day one of the playoffs. I saw what the media was doing not just this year but for many years, they framed certain biased narratives and favored certain players. These guys helped expose the propaganda of the media pundits nd thats why I was on their side the whole way. Jokic and the Nuggets represent the new era of basketball. Teamwork, humility, defense, post up play, hard work, physical play, etc. The Nuggets got themselves a bunch of new fans and they made the NBA that much better. Keep rockin it steady.

Idemooo 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

Nothing gains more real, loyal fans that showing the character he shows us on the court and off. Humble in win and defeat. Great man, more to come his way.

They earned my respect they did what they were supposed to do and that's run the table I'm so proud of the Denver nuggets. They've been knocking on the door for a while and now it has come into fruition and a reality of becoming NBA champions 🙌🏾

Congrats, Niko. You made it

What a pro. I don’t think I appreciated Jokic’s first regular season MVP enough, I didn’t understand his game. But watching him over the last four seasons, I can’t help but be in awe of how he runs the game.
