After defeating the Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, the Nuggets are officially crowned NBA champions. As soon as you enter the locker room, the champagne corks explode and the cans of beer are uncapped at all costs… except that you have to interrupt the chouille 10 minutes to go to a press conference. We add to that the words Nikola and Jokic, and we have everything to live a moment out of time. Anthology of the best punchlines!
To his greatest joy (no), Nikola Jokic made an express visit to the press conference to answer the usual post-match questions. Except that the Serbian fridge, with its reddish complexion, had already drunk 1 magnum of champagne and 3 cans of beer (the equivalent of a pint of Panaché for him). Suddenly, the reigning MVP of these NBA Finals made everyone laugh at the press conference. We understood.
Well already when the guy gets on the stage, he sprinkles KCP with his drink. Serbian tradition to say “it’s mine” without a doubt. KCP bars, and following drinking two sips of 25 cl each, Jokic sits on the throne while launching a “Can’t wait” with a delicious irony. Bouncing back from his statement during Denver’s NBA Finals qualifier where the Joker said he was happy for Jamal Murray, Mark Singer of Denver Post, asks him for whom he is happy following this title. The Serbian responds despite some unforeseen events:
” All. I’m happy for DJ, I’m happy for Jeff, I’m happy for Ish, literally everyone. [Jamal Murray, ndlr.] had three operations and he always came to help… [*gloup*] help us win a title… [*Buurp*] I burp, sorry.”
The barbaric sips before going on stage come to the surface. The Joker tries to keep a minimum but abdicates following 2 seconds. He continues when a journalist tells him that they now have an indisputable major five for next season:
“I didn’t know that, great. But to be honest I don’t think regarding the following year. I’m going to ask the coach to give me a few more weeks of vacation… [silence, ndlr.] So I can be ready for the start of the season… [silence de mort, ndlr.] It’s supposed to be a joke, and you didn’t laugh [*rires des journalistes*] Well done ! “
After a new sigh of buffalo with each new question, the Serbian continues his stand-up when asked if he is eager to make the parade of champion in Denver. Jokic, with a look alcoholic panicked, turns to his left:
“When is the parade? THURSDAY [répond un journaliste, ndlr.]. No… I have to go home… […] I don’t think it’s the most important thing in the world [*rires*] “
No sooner had the Larry O’Brien trophy been lifted than Jokic was already thinking of brushing his horses in Serbia. After a sign of the hand to affirm his desire to go bust the hive to get out, we still ask him one last question: following Djokovic’s victory at Roland Garros, wouldn’t this be the most beautiful era of Serbian sport? The person concerned, in a last effort, launches a last valve:
“Ah congratulations, I will watch this [sort son téléphone en faisant mine d’aller faire une recherche, ndlr.]. I don’t know… [voit un message, ndlr.] Oh mama…”
Mom congratulating her beloved teddy bear. But following that, Jokic gets out of jail to join his Serbian buddies in leaps and bounds. Enough to take a dip with Jamal Murray to devat 5 minutes before chaining the packs of beers once more. We leave you with the entire sequence, already cult.
Regardless of Nikola Jokic’s desire to participate in the Denver parade, this day is likely to be historic for the humor of the sport. And given how much the Joker risks being pissed off, it’s not impossible that he’ll get another magnum of champ’ to pass the time. Iconic moments on the horizon.
