Jokic made NBA history and won a great title for the Nuggets and a special one for his career; star made surprising revelations after the game
Jokic was exceptional in the regular season, in the playoffs and in the finals of NBA. The crack took the Nuggets to its first league title and helped the team beat rivals like heat, lakers and other rivals just as good. Therefore, the triple-double king ended up winning the main basketball championship in the world and was even elected the MVP.
The now most valuable athlete in the NBA has only reason to smile and celebrate his first league title and also the end of a long wait for the Nuggets. Still on the court, Jokic opened the game in relation to the trophies he took home last Monday night, the 12th. The star praised the Miami Heat, but insisted on highlighting the collective strength of all to overcome opponents playoffs and the finals.

“They are a big, big, team. Amazing. I respect them a lot. It was a collective effort. It was a strange day, when we weren’t hitting the pitches. In the end, we improved the defense and they didn’t score 90 and that’s why we won the game. That’s why basketball is fun. It’s a living thing. You can’t predict what will happen, a lot can happen in one day. And I’m just glad we won“, he stated.
Jokic still hasn’t paid much attention to winning the MVP. In the view of the Nuggets star, the most important achievement is the collective. He highlighted that the individual only came, as he had the help of his teammates to reach several milestones that he achieved throughout the 2022/23 season.
“We don’t win for ourselves, we win for the guys next to us. That’s why it gets even better. I rooted for Jamal, he rooted for me. It’s a great group of players, as I said, from the families to the players, everything is spectacular. We believe in ourselves, in the relationships we have. Yes, we were champions, but we have some relationships that are going to be long, long. Until after our careers“, finished.
