It might be only the start of their mutual reign as NBA royalty, but it’s pretty evident that Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are already great friends. The league’s new leading duo took a postgame dip together after winning the NBA championship in what might be the best public example of their strong rapport to date.
Well, I should say that Murray didn’t have much of a choice in the matter because Jokic simply took him along for the ride and threw his teammate in the pool.
On a night of pure jubilation for the Denver Nuggets, a video from the NBA that shows these two guys having the time of their life in the water probably stands out the most.

Find you a friend that wants to throw you in the pool while you’re holding a celebratory champagne bottle. Your life will be that much more enriched, I assure you.
Fans on Twitter loved seeing Jokic and Murray's moment of joy in the pool

Jokic begging one of his teammates to do a cannonball is not content I knew I needed. https://t.co/phivD1sTaJ

Jokic is happy but he doesn’t express that with words. He expresses with roughhousing. https://t.co/nNAWBnIVO7
