Jokic won a title and was completely nonchalant about it.

Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets won their first NBA title on Monday night. Overall, they had a truly incredible season. They were the best team in the Western Conference, and in the playoffs, they continued to be great. Heading into the Finals, they had only lost three times. Moreover, they lost once to the Miami Heat en route to a five-game gentleman's sweep. Jokic was absolutely legendary during the series, and his heroics down the stretch propelled the Nuggets to their win.

However, if you paid attention to the celebration after the game, it became clear that Nikola Jokic didn't care all that much. When presented with the Finals MVP trophy, he picked it up and immediately passed it off to head coach Michael Malone. Additionally, when asked about the parade on Thursday, Jokic said that he wasn't excited as he just wanted to go home. As it turns out, his horses are racing on this weekend, and he wants to be home in time to see all of it take place.

Nikola Jokic Is Nonchalant

Nikola Jokic is a fun and eccentric guy who the NBA certainly needs. He doesn't appear to have time for the extra pleasantries, and it can be quite humorous. Although some see it as disrespectful, that isn't on purpose. Jokic just has that personality naturally and a lot of NBA fans are having fun with it. As for his teammates, they could not be more excited. Jamal Murray has gone through a lot to get to where he is now, and his emotions certainly reflected that on Monday night.

For the city of Denver, this is just an incredible time. The Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup last year, and now, they have an NBA champion. Now, the Broncos and the Rockies need to start winning. Either way, this is a title that will be remembered for a very long time. Only time will tell whether or not this Nuggets team can become a proper dynasty.
