Celebration engulfed the city of Denver after Nikola Jokic led the organization to its first NBA Championship in franchise history.
Jokic recorded 28 points, 16 rebounds, and 4 assists in the Game 5 victory over the Miami Heat. Speaking of celebrations, the two-time NBA MVP was seen celebrating with his wife (Natalija Jokic) and daughter (Ognjena Jokic).
Jokic’s daughter will turn two years old later this year, but she has already become a lucky charm for the two-time NBA MVP. She was adorably playing with the Joker’s Championship and Finals MVP trophies.
This isn’t the first time that the father-daughter duo has shared an adorable moment during the playoffs. Ognjena and Nikola gestured at their ring fingers after the Nuggets’ Game 2 win over the Phoenix Suns during the Western Conference Semifinals.

All things considered, it’s great to see Jokic celebrating with his family. While his daughter has already seen him become an NBA champion, it may take a few years for her to truly understand the magnitude of the achievement.
Nikola Jokic Cannot Wait To Return To His Hometown In Serbia
For some players, winning is everything, but Nikola Jokic certainly doesn’t fit into that category entirely. Yes, Jokic is already a decorated player at 28 years old, with one NBA Championship, one NBA Finals MVP, and two regular-season MVPs to his name.
But above all that, the Joker is more excited about returning back to Serbia during the offseason. During the postgame interview after the Game 5 win, Jokic shared about going home rather than attending the Nuggets’ Championship parade on Thursday.
Now, that’s a player who is unbothered about what anyone thinks or expects from him. As for his performance during the playoffs, Jokic averaged 30.0 PPG, 13.5 RPG, and 9.5 APG.
