Nikola Jokic has already proven himself to be one of the better teammates in the NBA. He always puts sportsmanship first and it’s always on display for everyone to see.
Just a few weeks ago, he was super complimentary of his teammates after winning the MVP of the Western Conference Finals. He’s always super humble, even when he accomplishes impossible feats on the court. And, when it comes to his opponents, he behaves the same way. He’s just always complimentary and kind to just about everyone involved in the game.
That’s why it’s no surprise at all that he shared an extremely classy moment with every single player on the Miami Heat before celebrating his own NBA championship.
Jokic took the time to shake every Heat player’s hand before celebrating. It was such a classy moment.
