Nikola Jokic says he wants to go home after winning championship

Nikola Jokic has proven to be a different kind of NBA star, over time. Jokic has won back-to-back MVPs and he’s now led his team to a championship. Despite that, Jokic and the Denver Nuggets have flown under the radar. Nearly every other team got more attention than Denver in the playoffs. However, the Nuggets were consistently the best team in the playoffs. Their leader is a chill guy, which explains the low profile. After the title win, Jokic told Lisa Salters “we can all go home now.”

Nikola Jokic proved he was a talented player as soon as he debuted in Denver. Immediately, he began putting up big numbers. In addition, Jokic came in third in the Rookie of the Year voting. While Jokic made an immediate impact, the winning took a little time. It wasn’t until 2019 that the Nuggets made the playoffs. Through the season, they held the NBA’s best record, but slipped to the second seed in the West. In the 2019 playoffs, the Portland Trail Blazers upset them in the second round.

Nikola Jokic led the Denver Nuggets to the West’s best record in 2023. However, at 53-29, they were the worst number one seed in the history of the Western Conference. At the same time, they were one of the best playoff teams in NBA history. The Nuggets never trailed in any of their series. In addition, they only lost one home game. Also, only one team beat them twice in a series. So when they won the title over the Miami Heat, it was no shock. Upon winning the title, Jokic said he can now go home.
