Nikola Jokic showed his class in the closing moments of the NBA Finals.
The Denver Nuggets won the Larry O’Brien trophy for the very first time following their 94-89 victory over the Miami Heat. When it was clear that the franchise was going to win Game 5 and clinch the series, 4-1, the first thing the 28-year-old did was walk over to coach Erik Spoelstra and shake his hand, before doing the same with the Miami players.
Before celebrating his accomplishment with his teammates and loved ones, Jokic showed a great act of sportsmanship which further sums up his character. "We are not in it for ourselves, we are in it for the guy next to us," Jokic said post-game. "And that's why this (means) even more."
