For Nikola Jokic, family is the most important thing.

The Jokic family was all together once again on Thursday for the championship parade as Coloradans lined the streets to pay tribute to their winning NBA team.

Jokic grabbed the headlines on Monday when he seemed disinterested in attending the Nuggets’ parade.

The Finals MVP appeared to have changed his mind as he had a blast at the championship celebration.

He sent the fans into a frenzy when he told them:

“You know that I told I don’t want to stay on parade. But I f***ing want to stay on parade.”

He then offered his gratitude to the Nuggets’ fans and supporters, saying:

“This is amazing. We’re all going to remember this our whole lives. When we see you guys that came out on the streets, actually, this one is for you. We love you, Denver. This one is for you. Thank you, guys.”

Jokic and daughter steal show

What made the event so memorable for the two-time MVP was that he was able to spend it with his daughter ahead of Father’s Day.

The two of them were seen riding together on a firetruck in a parade through downtown, per 9News.

Jokic took good care of his daughter, even putting a ribbon on her in the middle of the parade.

He also protected his daughter from the champagne that flowed on top of the fire truck.

Fans took to social media to gush over Nikola and his daughter Ognjena. Most of them said they can’t get over how cute Jokic was with his child.

Michael Malone trolls LeBron James

Sports Brief recently reported on Michael Malone trolling LeBron James after Denver’s Finals win.

He said on the Pat McAfee Show that he was thinking about retiring, aiming a not-so-subtle jab at the Lakers star.

James hinted that retirement was an option for him following the Lakers’ loss to the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals.
