Nikola Jokic and Boban Marjanović may have carved different paths to the NBA, but they seemingly couldn’t be any closer.
As two Serbian players for the Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets, respectively, Jokic and Marjanović are great friends. Whenever their teams play, the two apparently make it a point to get together and have dinner. (Plus, Marjanović seems to have lots of close pals.)
We saw the latest on-court demonstration of their appreciation for one another Tuesday night. After the Nuggets beat the Rockets 133-112, Jokic and Marjanović met up for a heartwarming embrace and exchanged three kisses — a sign of respect.
More than most, they’re just enjoying life.

Would you just look at the smile on Jokic’s face while he talks to his pal? That is pure, unfiltered friendship right there. It doesn’t get any better than that.
And if you’re up for more wholesome Jokic-Marjanović content, their on-court meet-ups are certainly nothing new:

Do yourself a favor. If you don’t already have one, find yourself a friend like Jokic or Marjanović.
