Nikola Jokic's response to the news of the Denver Nuggets' championship parade was priceless. The two-time MVP and newly crowned Finals MVP was clearly caught off guard when informed about the Thursday celebration. His immediate reaction? "No! I need to go home!" It was a moment of genuine surprise and a touch of longing for his native Serbia, captured perfectly after the Nuggets' historic Game 5 victory over the Miami Heat.

Jokic, while acknowledging the incredible achievement of winning an NBA title, emphasized its place within the larger context of life. "It’s an amazing feeling," he admitted, "but it's not everything in the world. There’s a bunch of things that I like to do." His humility shone through as he emphasized the team effort, stating, "Not I, we won it."

However, Jokic also highlighted the profound satisfaction of achieving something many doubted was possible. He emphasized the importance of the team's belief in themselves and the organization's unwavering support. "It’s a good feeling when you know that you did something that nobody believed [you could have done]," he explained. "It’s just us, it’s just the organization – the Nuggets believed in us. Every player believed in each other and I think that’s the most important thing."

The Denver Nuggets' first-ever NBA Championship is a testament to their resilience and teamwork, and Jokic's endearingly candid reaction to the parade news only adds to the charm of their historic win.
