The Denver Nuggets have achieved a historic milestone by making it to their inaugural NBA Finals. Their remarkable journey has seen them outshine formidable teams led by the likes of Kevin Durant and LeBron James. With a victory in game 1 of the Finals, the Nuggets find themselves just three wins away from securing their franchise’s first-ever NBA Championship.

Nikola Jokic, the leader of the Denver Nuggets, has been a dominant force throughout the postseason, performing at an MVP level. His exceptional performances earned him the Magic Johnson Western Conference MVP trophy. Despite his on-court brilliance, Jokic maintains a composed and unflappable demeanor. However, there is one thing that brings a visible spark of joy to his face, and he takes delight in sharing it with others. So, what is it that lights up Jokic’s expressions? Let us find out.

Nikola Jokic’s 6’8 teammate reveals Jokic’s greatest pleasure

The Denver Nuggets have displayed great teamwork throughout the NBA season. The Joker loves to pass the ball to his teammates and makes them better while providing them with more opportunities to score. His playing style has led players like Bruce Brown, KCP, Michael Porter Jr., etc. to have big moments and step up their game. One such player who enjoys playing with Jokic is Aaron Gordon.

Gordon was traded by the Orlando Magic to the Denver Nuggets in 2021. Since then, Gordon has been an integral part of the team. Gordon has been averaging 13 points and 5 rebounds in the postseason, shooting 50% from the field. He has been a great defender for the Nuggets and played a crucial role in defending LeBron James in the conference finals. Gordan also shares a great bond with Jokic and has spilled some beans on what excites the Joker.
