Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets captured their first-ever NBA title on Monday night, beating the Heat 94–89 in Game 5.
On the surface, Jokić didn’t seem too excited about the championship. In the immediate aftermath of the victory, he told ESPN’s Lisa Salters that winning the championship was “good” because “we can go home now.” He also appeared visibly frustrated in the postgame press conference that the victory parade wasn’t scheduled until Thursday because he couldn’t go home until then.
But that doesn’t mean Jokić didn’t have any fun at all. The Denver star was captured on video throwing star teammate Jamal Murray in the pool back in the team’s locker room area after leaving the floor.
