Incredible Photo of Nikola Jokic Goes Viral

In this story:
Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic is well-known for his reserved personality. Never impressed with himself, Jokic shows up to work, dominates, and goes home. This routine did not change throughout his historic postseason run, as Jokic was consistently reminding the media that his primary goal was to win a championship, and all of the individual success was just a step to that goal.
Having now accomplished his ultimate goal of winning a championship, Jokic has let loose a little. Attending the parade after joking about needing to go home, Jokic partied with Nuggets fans in the streets of Denver before hitting the clubs with his teammates. Still celebrating, the Nuggets shared an incredible photo of Jokic with two big chains that has been going viral on Twitter:

It's incredible seeing Jokic celebrate, because as previously mentioned, he's been one of the more stoic players in the league for his entire career. It would have been easy for Jokic to take a victory lap on all of the people who doubted his ability to reach these heights, but he has instead decided to just celebrate with his teammates without paying attention to any of the outside noise.
With Jokic at the peak of his powers, the Nuggets are here to stay. This is a team that projects to be a problem for years to come.
