Nikola Djokic rose to the Nuggets’ stadium in a wild comic book outfit ahead of a crucial three-matchup with the Thunder.
Few things matter more than Game 3 of the NBA Playoffs tied series. The Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder are fighting for great advantages in the series.
Game 1 showed why Nikola Djokic was dominant and he was the MVP. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander responded with kindness during Game 2 by OKC.
This will make the team a game 3 and itch will be with both superstars to win the team. Jokic certainly means business.
He pulled up to the Ball Arena in a Peak Comic Book outfit that made social media a bit frenzy.
Over the years, the three MVP has been mentioned by his nickname “The Joker.” This is a reference to the iconic Batman villain of the same name, but Jokic never really embraced it.
That’s exactly what he did before Game 3, wearing a Joker suit. Naturally, his outfit immediately became word of mouth.
“To be honest, that’s the most strange thing ever,” one fan wrote. “He’s locked up. Thunder is really in trouble tonight,” another added.
The third fan said, “Joker Fit Jokic? The game is already over.” Another fan wrote, “I can’t love this guy more than I am now.”
And, wanting to make sure he doesn’t miss that opportunity, one Thunder fan said, “It’s easy. Shy must now dress like Batman and win.”
The outfit is a statement from a Serbian superstar. He wants to get the job done for his team. The next two games are huge for the Nuggets if they want to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
Historically, NBA teams have not had a better home court advantage over the Nuggets. And Denver has to make the most of it, as the OKC Thunder boasts a more talented roster.
They won clutch game 1 to give this advantage. And now, Jokic and his teammates have to take advantage of it.
If the Thunder could always win on the road, it might determine the series. The Joker needs to make sure that doesn’t happen.
