This guy just became the first player in NBA playoff history with 1st in points, rebounds, and assists. Won the NBA championship. Selected as the NBA Finals MVP. All that, and he is just sitting here, not overly excited nor emotional, not wearing any Championship gear, doesn't have his trophy or family with him, just doing an interview like after any other game. What a guy.
Remember this moment.
You wont see it again
For real, this man is something else!
@@DomagojStivic youre right, no player will ever lead the playoffs in all stats and win finals/finals mvp. we wont see this moment again.
@@slim_yondah Well, maybe Jokić will do it again next season
@@markomarkovic5729 he’s the only one capable
"Nikola you won the chip, how's it feel?" "It's good..." Spoken with the same energy as finding your laundried socks have dried. This dude's surreal on so many levels, what a legend.
Hey dried socks can feel pretty good straight out the drier
@@juanritanjaya6254 wait u guy use dryer...I still use sun
"Are you excited for the parade?" "No". Imagine getting dominated by a guy who treats the NBA like shift work
He's right. It's not the best feeling in the world. Be happy every day of your life. That's what matters. Happy for him but we need more people like him to inspire the young Americans who only thinks about being the best. Try to be happy, you'll feel good.
“This is fine”
😂😂😂
As a Heat fan I am not even mad. If someone deserved it this year it's Nikola and the Nuggets.
I am an outsider and agree with you.
I'm from Miami and I approve this message!
This warms my heart as a Nuggets fan. This is what basketball is all about! Playing hard and giving respect where it’s due.
As a person rooting for the lakers i can’t be mad. They really be hooping on a different lvl
@@tomsevcik1792 I think this was the first finals ever where I would be happy for any team. I am happy for the Nuggets. The Heat already have 3 rings but it's the first one for the Nuggets and the first one is always special.
“You have to be bad, then you have to be good, then you have to be good and then fail, and then when you fail you figure it out”. Nothing but respect to this guy and the process he and the Nuggets have been through.
Time stamp??
In true Jokic fashion, he comes to the postgame interview right after winning the championship in a simple nuggets t-shirt, no trophy, no championship hat, no bling, no speech about how they showed the haters that they could do it. When they asked him how it feels, he said "It's good."
He clearly knows that this is just a game, and there are much more valuable things in life than winning a series of games.
like going home to friends and family. he has to do that parade unfortunately... 🙂
real lunch pail type of guy
only few guys are humble like jokic, kawhi for example
If it’s “just a game” then why should they get paid MILLIONS of dollars? Jokic knows it’s only a game then they shouldn’t get paid that much
@@Eddybih03 they might as well get paid, the league will still haul it in. That money will go somewhere.
Jokic is a legend. Won his 1st NBA champion and finals mvp and has 2x MVP and 5x all star. He's tall but very humble
U forgot the finals mvp trophy ❤❤❤
@25. THE MOUSE TRAP last year I would've said ur crazy but its at the point u can't deny. He's like Dirk but better at 3s, passes like Magic Johnson and rebounds like Kareem its incredible
Gonna be one of the greatest centers ever when it's all said and done.
@25. THE MOUSE TRAP He's better than everybody who has ever played, with the possible exceptions of MJ, Bron and Wilt.
should have been 3x MVP 😔
Најбољи и највећи. Обрадовао си све нас у Србији својим игром и игром твог тима. Желимо ти још оваквих победа .Живела Србија!
We needed Jokic at Kosovo Poljé
@@Anonymous-ld7je Great athletes, terrible government. We have narcissistic autocrat with pu$$y lips who actually enrolled in coaching school few years ago and talks about how he wants to be a kids basketball coach one day. The team he support is the champion in all sports and even before the start of the season everybody knows that they're going to win titles, because 99% of the clubs in Serbia are owned and controlled by the state.
Istina
Pozdrav iz Hrvatske. Najbolji balkanski igrač ikad! Ako ne i najbolji europski igrač ikad.
Bravo Jokara! Ponosni smo na tebe i na tvoju porodicu! Svaka čast svima! Moj sin nosi tvoju majicu na treninzima ovde u Luksemburgu.
This man is the best player in nba congrats to the nuggets 👏🏾👏🏾
Now there is 0 debate about who the best Center and player in the NBA is. 🎉🎉
@25. THE MOUSE TRAP im better than joel embid
@25. THE MOUSE TRAP so now you basing your argument on a 1 on 1 they had in the general season?
@mack2586 Delusion at its finest hahahaha
You guys are clowns, Championship speaks for itself 😂
I’m still iffy on the best player in the world. He Definitely might be/ should be considered right at this moment. But he’s definitely the best center no doubt. Congrats To him/Nuggets on a wonderful season.
How much injustice and jealousy has this man experienced, 2 MVPs come to the ALL Star game and they don't pick him for any team. Mr. Jokic showed you all who he is and what he is! Perkins cried for Embid …
@25. THE MOUSE TRAP thats why joker is the champion and embiid blown a 3-1 lead, enjoying his vacation in cancun
@25. THE MOUSE TRAP source: trust me bro
@25. THE MOUSE TRAP embiid DUCKED jokic like a lot! 1 out of 15 games he played well, rest he either played meh or he didnt play at all, so stop it. Seems like Embiid has amazing game and then milksnit, but usually he is "injured" or taking a break vs best teams... He has 1 good game vs Jokic and he milks it like championship, Embiid stat padder, gets his last 15 when its a blowout and other team puts in bench players... Dude is overrated and pathetic same your take
NBA is getting slippery and has no direction.
@25. THE MOUSE TRAP lol you’re an embarrassment
When players stay loyal to the team and the team stays loyal to its players
I hope to be this professional and humble in my craft like Jokic. Seeing people with his attitude succeed is so refreshing to see.
"There's a process you have to go through. First you need to be bad, then you need to be good, when you're good you need to fail; and then when fail, you figure it out. Experience isn't what happens to you, it's what you do with what happens to you." Nikola Jokic.
How can you not love this dude? Brilliant basketball genius yet simply a good uncomplicated person with zero ego.
Jokic not only shut up his critics this season, he did so while having the single greatest individual postseason in league history. First player in league history to lead all postseason players in points, rebounds, and assists… 🤫🤐
Absolutley already a fricken legend.
Tf bird got to do with anything 😂
@25. THE MOUSE TRAP he's better than Kobe.
@@bjknochel2055 bro chill I love both but chill
Kobe is an established legend, let’s see how jokic goes
@CAMEL ROCK I was being sarcastic. If Jokic is better than bird than he's certainly better than Kobe considering Bird is better than Kobe.
I’ve never seen a players being talked about being underrated coming into the draft and then go on to talk about the other teams amazing undrafted talents Jokic is truly a pure soul and role model for young men and kids around the world
Not bringing his MVP trophy (not even wearing his championship cap) in the presser makes me respect more to this guy. Humbled! Great player
He left that trophy at the podium lol. If you look at the team photo, I think Mike Malone was the one holding it for him lol.
That was not for "him" as he quickly corrected himself midway into the interview , "i mean not me but us" it was for his team..
it’s not even humility he just naturally doesn’t have an ego lol
@@blotterdowney8075 we can both agree on that. Hehe! And I think he doesn't want the limelight of a superstar
This is an epic post game press conference after winning the title! He does not want to be there and it is hilarious. Very humble, great leader of the team. The poor guy just wants to go home 😂
Horse race on 😊
"I mean, it's normal, nobody likes his job" -Jokic
😂 I love this dude. Just won the finals and he's acting like he won an award for best McDonald's manager
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!
Im reading that and i know that and somehow still sound insane and impossible.Story for ages!
@@josea.m9052 manu never won it but you're right about the picks. manu was drafted 57th and jokic was 41st
@@josea.m9052 FINALS MVP are u reading?
How dare that white boy
So does this mean white men don't need to jump?
He’s basically like: “Oh shit we won. I knew it. Cool 😎 “
Now imagine if he worked out more and actually took basketball more seriously 😳
(Not saying he doesn't do both already)
Glad to see a team win it all the right way!
Nikola got robbed of an MVP during the season and now stands tall as the undisputed greatest player in the NBA and a Champion!
There's no doubt Abt it. He's the best player in the world
same thing happened with giannis the season the bucks won and who took it? Jokic
And Nokia took it off embiid last year

True inspiring words by a Champion, Very humble with exclusive extrodinere work ethic, Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets 👌
You can tell he would rather be anywhere but answering those questions. It was funny how he was like man I gotta go home when they told him about the parade.
💯🤣
at least he's honest and doesn't pretend... the man says it openly!
This is the first time Ive watched a post game presser and its all because of Jokic. The guy has that kinda effect on people. Hes making the NBA watchable again even post game interviews. What a dude, what a team. Congrats to the Nuggets yall deserve it!
Svaka cast legendo pozdrav iz Slovenije🇷🇸🇸🇮🤘🏻🚀
He might be the most eccentric yet stoic person I’ve ever seen
There are always personalities which one can't gauge. Sometimes.
The real MVP.
@phubbing6648 lol yeah, perk really undermined Embiid’s mvp. Shouldn’t have said what he did.
I love at 6:57 he says nobody likes their job or maybe they do if they’re crazy. Honestly for me thats facts. A great job is hard work not everyone enjoys hard work all the time. Great humility from him in that moment imo.
6:15 Jokic just wants to go home. Let the man go back to Serbia.
😂
"No ... I need to go home!" ... *mood*
Bravo, Nikola! Da si živ i zdrav 🧡🌍
Why are Serbians so pretty 😊.
@@madmax6654 😄 Good genes and bright spirit, I guess
@@_sokolica I definitely will say that a person that has a very bright spirit makes everyone around them feel even better 🙏
I know this man is ready to be done with these interviews 😂
💯🤣
Haha for real he just wants to dip
He wanted to be with his family and horses. 😂
After he answered every question he took a deep exhale like he forcing it out of his self, definitely don't wanna be there. Like he would rather be anywhere but sitting there answering questions
Nikola Jokic is the icing on the Nuggets team. As Nikola said this is a team effort for which I feel he was a driving force.
This guy is a class act. Congrats from an Indiana Pacers fan.
Bravo Nikola! Vucem traume od Kingsa, sada sam miran. NBA gledam od kraja '80, najzad cu moci da gledam bez nervoze. Hvala!
Pozdrav iz Hrvatske! Svaka čast i potpuno zasluženi uspjeh za Nikolu i Srbiju!
Neka ide prsten za Srbiju i ispravi Peđinu nepravdu od prije 20 godina - ono je i ovdje preko granice zaboljelo sve nas koji smo pratili.
Zato sada slavite, slavimo i mi sa vama, a ako Bog da biti će ih još! 🎉
Nikola pokazuje najbolje lice svoje zemlje Srbije kao jedan divan i skroman čovjek, a tako velik sportaš. Hrvat sam ali Nikola Jokić je osvojio i moje srce.

You can tell he just wants to finish the interview and celebrate with his love ones. Jobs done , go have fun.
Oh you know deep down he and his brothers are gonna get fucked up Serbian style
Embiid: "Give me an MVP trophy, otherwise I'll cry"
Jokic: Give him the MVP, I don't care
And just won WCF MVP, Finals MVP and a ring
He just want to go home
He just wants to ride a horse 🐎
😂😂
And still don’t care on his NBA Finals MVP trophy. Dude just lost it already 💀💀🤣
this man is the most loveable man in basketball...
I like this guy. There’s more to life than sports.
Congratulations on your first Championship Denver.
Its honestly nice to see a humble guy win the champs for once!
Reminds me of when Giannis won
Kawhi? Giannis?
"Can you describe the emotions you're feeling?"
"I feel good."
"What does this amazing accomplishment feel like?"
"Good."
Love how he always brings his team up when they praise him.
One of the GOATs already
We are waiting for you NBA GIANT Nikola Jokic to celebrate with TENNIS GOAT Novak Djokovic.. We are proud of both of you ❤❤❤🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸 Congrats to Denver Nuggets team.. Cheers.. Idemoo
No better occasion is so sweet than having Novak and Nikola champins. Bravo maestros.
The Real NBA MVP finally Won a Ring💍.
Looks very humble and earned it with respect,
what a great final well done Denver
Give this guy this trophy and some brand new horses
Nikola Jokic is one of my favorite players since 2019 and is now the best player in the NBA the Greatest Skill center of all time and definitely Top 5 greatest Center of all time
Chill lmao greatest Centers of all time are Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Hakeem Olajuwon and either Dirk or Bill Russell. Jokic isnt even top 10 yet in Centers. You still have David Robinson, Dirk or bill depending on who you got at 5, Patrick Ewing, Moses Malone and Bill Walton or Artis Gilmore like there are so many honorable mentions too. Jokic will def be in top 5 conversations in like 3 to 4 more rings for Centers though.
@@Maddenlegend4ever Lmaooo nah your disrespectful if you don’t think he top 10 but that’s your opinion so
I don't care what team you were for, you should have some love for this guy.
How can you not love this guy 🍯🍯🏆🏆
1st in Points, Rebounds, and Assists, Finals MVP. There has never been anything like this before.
Clearly my guy is a god on the court but it seems as if basketball is not his 1st love. It's something he's exceptional at but may not be his passion the way it was for Jordan or Kobe. I'm cool with it. I've never seen a guy as good as Jokic is be so honest about how he feels after a Championship and MVP. The man just wants to go home to his kid, Horses, and family. Bravo for not faking it.
Nikola Jokic: the art of effortlessness with efficiency.
this is the most humble, and most endearing champion I have ever seen. thank you joker
Jokic answers interviews like he stay ready to play the next game.... this is a literal GOAT... the Saitama One Punch Man of NBA
Svjetsko, a nase :) Nikola je divna osoba, skroman i samozatajan,a ujedno ljudska gromada i neponovljiva sportska legenda👏👏👏👏👏
🇷🇸❤️🇷🇸
6:06 this is that home balkan mentality when mom calls u and says u gotta be home. then u gotta be
He literally looks distressed. Asking where is his support. And he wants to go home.
Then you realise he’s thousands of miles from home. Thousands of miles from the people who’ve supported him and who he loves.
What a human guy.
Bravo Jokič, pozdravi iz Slovenije.
This is such a great story!All these players that Jokić have mentioned,,,you can make a movie about this.1🏆✍️🎇🎇🎇🎇 congratulations to the Denver Nuggets,and to all their fans around the world🤛Joker,what a guy....
One who came and made a difference; N Jokic.
Super happy for this team. My son has been a longtime fan and I supported the team because of that. Great performance by the entire team. Congratulations 🎉🍾 MVP. The joke is on somebody….
It is so profound hearing him echo the same thoughts and ideas as Giannis about taking steps to success and winning by gaining experience and utilizing what you’ve learned from your experiences along the way and growing from them.
9:35 jokic can be very monotone but that was hilarious 🤣🤣 enjoy yourself king you’re the greatest player in the NBA 👏
This is the same dude who wore a “I paused my game to be here” shirt 😂😂
Great team champion 2023 Denver Nuggets...salute to this man Nikola Jokic very humble and congrats to all Denver Nuggets players and coaches
The True Role Model....
Your success or failure should never impact your character...
Love you Joker...
Im so happy the Nuggets won their first ring lets go Jokic, Gordon Jamal, CB, and MPJ!!!!!!!!!! The Nuggets are insane and have been dominating this whole season
It's not like they were a 60+ win team though.
@@timothylee2772 true
Denver earned every inch of that trophy!
Bro treats his career like a day job
and hate it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s almost like players are forced to do interviews or they’re fined. If you’re forced to do anything you don’t want to do you’ll act the same way lol
I'm so happy for the Joker man. Hopefully, this brings back the importance of dominant big men. We miss low post craftiness and midrange ball!!!
Low post craftiness, midrange ball, AND 47+% FROM 3-POINT RANGE IN THE PLAYOFFS!
@@TaiTeachify 47% 3pts is the cherry on the top ;)
A diamond in the ruff is an understatement when it comes to Jokic and his journey not just in the NBA but his life in general. I say bring that trophy to Serbia.
Embiid watching this holding his MVP trophy like
👁️👄👁️
And how not to think there is not something out there...balances things and dispenses justice!
👏👏👏👏 Written "Nikola Jokic " reading " The Man"..... as character and play ,he s real champion , congratulations
While other players are using the tunnel as a walkway fashion show , jokic is grinding and not worried about the limelight . Straight grinding
Congrats joker !
Why is every question in the US focused on someone’s emotions? “What does this mean to you?” “How did you feel?”
not creative in asking questions
They wanna sell the dream, the ego, the capitalistic individuality
@@moanguspickard249 well apparently they didn't sell it to Jokic
@@moanguspickard249 that part. They're so appalled that he's so chill about it compared to past champions.
America has become a nation of pride and where there’s no uplifting our brothers and sister or the community anymore. It’s all about me me me. Jokic didn’t bite that messy bait tho. Good man. God bless him.
Excelente 👏 Champions Denver Nuggets 🏀💪
Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷👏
...nobody likes their job... Well some people do, but they're lying.... Dude is keeping it real😂
That was the best! 😂😂😂 Even a basketball player.
So many great quotes in this one😂
Jokic is such a TRUE Hero! He is such a Humble man! Humble champion! ❤️ Bless his beautiful heart and soul! 🙏
When he looked at his phone 😂
I don't know if anyone else noticed but I didn't witness Jokic flash a gun during this entire interview...amazing stuff....
for some reason - i always felt that the whole basketball world would regret picking jokic last in the all star game, just like how it always happens when you are on the playground.. that guy who always picks last - always plays an amazing game.
Such a great guy to play with! An unselfish teammate who always makes the right play. Puts his teammates and the organization before himself, which makes him a special basketball player.
Thank you for showing him happy on the thumbnail 😊
Congrats to Denver, the team and the organization. Jokic has earned to be called the best player in the world! I am happy to see the Bigs continue to do well because I am tired of seeing 30+ 3's going up for teams. Last night game was crazy because that was the most attempt 3's from Denver in a while. They normally attack the paint but foul trouble played a role. Jokic ready to go home. well earned. The parade on Thursday... what... I want to go home.
Wrong, the best player in Usa NBA club competition.
There is a horse race on Thursday that he wants to go to. Nice to see how he can be so amazing and still have great priorities.
Imagine this guy with Kobe, MAMBA MENTALITY
It would not be fair!
God balance things as best as he can.
Remember the last time Kobe was in Denver?
Imagine what ???
@@jonbarossa3851i remember. He played them in 2009 conference finals against melo and won.
Don't let his demeanor fool you into thinking he does not have the "fire" all greats have (Kobe, Jordan, Bird, Lionel Messi, Wayne. Gretzky, Husain Bolt, etc)... They all needed THREE things: Talent, work and will. But often, their incredible talent overshadows the other 2 elements.
Both nuggets and heat must be so happy to just relax now 😌
You realize all these NBA interviews are about being able to write sensationalist stories, being able to throw around “inspirational”, “motivational” “put in the work” “grind” stories and he doesn’t give them that
It is unfathomable to so many that an NBA champ is so nonchalant and completely lacking ego because that doesn’t play into the storied narratives of previous NBA greats like Jordan, Kobe etc
Feels good to witness greatness! Congrats, Nuggets!
Jokic: When is Parade?
Them: Thursday
Jokic: "No"
It's good is the most Jokic answer, love this dude.
MR MVP JOKER THANK YOU!
GREETINGS FROM KIKINDA
The way bro looked at his phone when they asked how many texts do you have? and said a lot oh I’m gonna turn off the phone😂😂😂 congrats Joker
He sound like Arnold “ Get into the choppa” 😂 Congrats to the Big Joker tho 💪🏽
Not sure if anyone seen what he did after the game shaking all of the Heat players. I have so much respect for this.. he is a team player!!Great Job Nikola
Just three maybe four more rings and he will go down as THE GOAT …. Even one or two more he will be top 5 , the guy is amazing and everything looks effortless … he is changing what dominance looks like !
Just a dumb overreaction
Calm down ma boi😂.
@@gtg305hoverreaction? Man got 2 MVPs broke countless records just this season and his numbers are only getting better every year. His numbers are better than BOTH years he got MVP. Not 1-2 rings but he’d need 3-4 more and definitely 🐐talk
Love joker, but you really are a classic prisoner of the moment. Don’t put that on a guy. As a fan, you will just disappoint yourself and not enjoy him as a player
You buggin for this
People who hate this guy is sick. He's perfect.
