Nikola Jokic is a happy man, especially after his team trounced the Cleveland Cavaliers 121-108. It came on a special occasion for the center, which celebrated Serbian Christmas with a deserved win.
And he had a wholesome wish for his fans in Serbian, earning him loud cheers in the arena. Jokic ended his evening with 28 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists.
Speaking to Nuggets reporter Katy Winge after the win, Jokic was told that she wanted to wish him a merry Christmas, and the center obliged with a big smile on his face.

For those keen to know, Jokic said Mir Božiji, Hristos se rodi! meaning God’s peace, Christ is born! To which, the response would be Vaistinu se rodi! or Indeed He is born!
The Denver Nuggets And Nikola Jokic Have Been On A Tear This Season
It’s a happy sight for a Nuggets fan, especially with the team sitting pretty on top of the Western Conference with a 26-13 record. Denver took the top spot by registering consecutive wins against the Los Angeles Clippers and the Cavaliers.
Nikola Jokic is having another scintillating season that’s put him in MVP chatter once again, with fans demanding that he should be awarded his third this season. The big man is averaging 25.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 9.5 assists so far.
Earlier, the first 2023 All-Star Game Voting saw Jokic in second place in the West’s frontcourt list. LeBron surpassed the center, while Anthony Davis and Zion Williamson are placed a rung and two below him.
The Nuggets will be keen to extend their winning run when they take on the Los Angeles Lakers next and follow it up with a skirmish against the Phoenix Suns.
