Denver, CO — Reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic once again delivered a stellar performance on the court, leading the Denver Nuggets to a dominant win last night. But it wasn’t just his on-court brilliance making headlines — it was his unexpected and humorous reaction to a question about his celebratory kisses that stole the spotlight.
During the post-game press conference, a reporter playfully asked Jokic about the kisses he was seen blowing toward the stands after a particularly electrifying play in the fourth quarter. Fans and cameras alike had caught the affectionate moment, sparking curiosity online.
Jokic, known for his deadpan humor and unpredictable responses, didn’t miss a beat. “Maybe I was blowing kisses to the referees — they finally made the right call,” he said with a smirk, drawing laughter from the media room.
He later clarified, “No, it’s just for my family. They were in the crowd, and it was a special moment. I like to show love — basketball is emotional.”
Fans on social media have embraced the moment, with memes and GIFs of Jokic’s kiss going viral within hours. His mix of intensity, sincerity, and dry wit continues to make him one of the NBA’s most beloved and entertaining figures.
The Nuggets’ victory strengthens their playoff position, but it’s Jokic’s post-game charm that once again proves he’s as much a star off the court as he is on it.
