During a special outing, fans showered love on Colorado State player Nikola Jokić and his daughter Ognjena. Following the All-Star Game, the Denver Nuggets center took his daughter out to celebrate the All-Star break. A video clip that surfaced online showcased the Serbian star enjoying the NHL game against the Vancouver Canucks with his little girl.
The Denver crowd erupted with chants of “MVP” in honor of his entrance. The Nuggets’ 2023 championship flag was displayed on the big screen, energizing the audience. Nikola Jokić and his adorable daughter created a heartwarming moment at the hockey game (Sports Illustrated).
While the Avalanche have championship experience, Nikola Jokić led the Nuggets to their first title. The towering center delivered a commanding performance around the rim, helping the team win the Western Conference and ultimately earning the Finals MVP award against the Miami Heat. Home supporters rightfully expressed their affection for the star. SportsCenter on X noted, “MVP chants for Nikola Jokic at the Avalanche game ️ @nuggets | @Avalanche.”
This season, the team has shown strong performance, but despite their dominance, the Nuggets have yet to claim the top spot in the West. The Western Conference features four formidable teams vying for the leading position.
Beyond the competition for supremacy in the West, Jokić’s fans’ love for him remains unwavering. Unlike other stars, the Serbian superstar shies away from the industry’s flash and glamour, yet he has gained immense popularity for his exceptional basketball skills. Notably, he celebrated his 29th birthday just yesterday.
