The Denver Nuggets won their first championship in franchise history and in the process, Nikola Jokic was named NBA Finals MVP.
After a historic performance throughout the entirety of the regular season and then the postseason, after the series was over, Jokic was finally able to find a quick second to relax once the job was done.
While his brothers tossed Nuggets head coach Mike Malone into the air like a baby, Jokic had a more subdued reaction. He shared a more casual, loving moment with his young daughter Ognjena.
Those are the beautiful memory that fans absolutely love to see.

If that photo wasn’t enough adorableness for you, maybe a few seconds longer with a video could do the trick.
Here is more from the celebration with Jokic and his daughter:

Remember: During the postseason, Jokic and his daughter both pointed to their ringer finger as if to signify the job at hand.
If you heart isn’t fully melted reading that, you were probably rooting for the Heat during the NBA Finals.
