DENVER — Nikola Jokic rode atop a firetruck with people who mean the world to him — his teammate Jamal Murray, his young daughter — and the NBA's Larry O'Brien Trophy.
Jokic and the Denver Nuggets soaked in the moment and were soaked, too, by champagne spray on Thursday during a parade through downtown Denver to celebrate their first NBA title.
His daughter, Ognjena, stole the show as she sat in front of him, at times wearing Jokic's championship hat. Jokic turned in some big assists, too, shielding her from champagne spray.
This celebration has been a long time in the making and swarms of fans showed up. It took 47 seasons in the NBA for the franchise to finally make Denver the home of the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
