Nikola Jokic, star of the Denver Nuggets, we recall, fresh off winning an NBA championship, seemed almost offended that he was not yet allowed to return home to Serbia because he still had duties to perform in the parade to celebrate his success with the Colorado franchise.
And Jokic, consistent with the character he shows in front of the media, reaffirmed this image of himself by saying that he did not like the extra work he had to do by virtue of the Nuggets’ run to the playoffs.
“No, this summer is not the most fun I’ve ever had. In fact, I think it’s the opposite. Because we played two and a half months longer.” said the Nuggets star hilariously and unabashedly, obviously holding back a huge smile, from 9NEWS Sports Denver.

As expected, Nikola Jokic’s words did not please some fans. Some fans feel that the two-time MVP has run out of lines like these and needs to express more of his love for the game of basketball like other greats like Kobe Bryant, who made his commitment a primary personality trait.
