Nikola Jokic may not be considered a marketable star by certain TV analysts, but that isn't stopping him from becoming many NBA fans' favorite player - including even Rob Gronkowski.

In a recent interview with FanDuelTV, NFL legend Rob Gronkowski revealed that Nikola Jokic is actually his favorite player.

"My favorite team and my favorite player now is the Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic," Gronkowski said. "He is my favorite player by far. I love watching him, he is like my long-lost Serbian brother that is better looking than me but has a bigger nose than me."

Not only does Rob Gronkowski love the Denver Nuggets, he actually has them winning the NBA Championship against the Miami Heat. However, he does believe it's going six games.

"So I love watching them play," Gronkowski said. "I love the Denver Nuggets they play together like a team, they're just amazing to watch and I just can't wait for these finals. I think the Nuggets are going to take it off, but the Heat are going to win two games."

While the Denver Nuggets are clearly the superior team against the Miami Heat, there's one thing to remember about this Heat team - they're impossible to predict. No one had the Miami Heat beating the Bucks in five games, and no one had them beating the Celtics in seven games. Miami is a dangerous team that deserves the Nuggets' respect.
