After going viral for his comments about wanting to go home before the Denver Nuggets had their championship parade, Nikola Jokic did indeed attend the festivities on Thursday, and dropped an incredible statement about wanting to be there:
"You know that I told that I don't want to stay on parade, but I f*cking want to stay on parade."

The crowd went crazy for Jokic, as the championship celebration in Denver is just getting started. Cities often celebrate NBA titles all summer long, and that will almost certainly be the case for Denver after winning their first one in franchise history. While Jokic may go back home soon, he wanted to attend the parade.
The Nuggets are a fun team, and they are going to be a problem for a while. Jokic is at the peak of his powers, Jamal Murray is a playoff riser, and their supporting cast proved to be arguably the best in the league as well. This is a recipe for sustained success in Denver, which leaves the city and fanbase hopeful that this will not be their last championship parade.
For Jokic, he has been open about his lack of interest in individual recognition; however, when it comes to his team, he wants to see them win. This is what makes a championship parade so special, because it's the celebration of a team and a city. Jokic deserves all of the recognition he has gotten, but for him it is always about the team.
