Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets played an exhibition game against the Boston Celtics in Abu Dhabi, and afterward, the Serbian center reflected on winning Olympic bronze in Paris over the summer. “Last time I played for the national team, we won a championship. Maybe that means something, maybe it doesn’t. Most players say a summer tournament helps you stay in shape. I’m not sure if that’s true, but I had a great time and feel I improved. Whether it affects my current basketball or not, who knows,” the three-time NBA MVP said, reflecting on leading the Nuggets to the 2023 NBA championship after representing Serbia at EuroBasket 2022.

Checking out #JokerFolieADeux tonight.
While the late Heath Ledger is my favorite Joker ever, Joaquin Phoenix captures the utter absolute craziness of the villian.
As for Harley Quinn, I’m curious to see how Lady Gaga pulls this off.

More on this storyline
The Nuggets spent this week in Abu Dhabi playing a pair of exhibition games against the world-champion Celtics. Many of the Nuggets staffers made the trip, including their media team. As the players experienced life abroad, a few boarded camels, including Russell Westbrook and Peyton Watson. A Nuggets reporter asked Jokic if he had been on a camel. “I have never been on a horse, to be honest,” Jokic said. “Just driving them.” -via Denver Post / October 5, 2024
Law Murray: Nikola Jokic on Russell Westbrook: “He needs to be who he is. That’s how he’s going to affect the game the most.” -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / October 4, 2024
The Denver Nuggets superstar also spoke about his newest teammate, Russell Westbrook. “Russell [Westbrook] is always positive. He’s a great teammate. On the court, off the court, he is perfect for now, I hope he will be like that all season”, he commented on the former Oklahoma City Thunder explosive guard. -via EuroHoops.net / October 3, 2024
