Nikola Jokic arrived in character for a first-round playoff game Saturday night.

That character was “Gru,” the protagonist from the “Despicable Me” movies.

Jokic, the two-time NBA MVP for the Denver Nuggets, wore a similar outfit and signature wrap-around striped scarf as “Gru.” It was a hit on social media, with the Nuggets posting, “going to play basketball or going to steal the moon?”

Amd fans have embarked on a meme-making frenzy. Social media platforms are now inundated with hilarious Jokic-themed memes, showcasing his uncanny resemblance to the iconic character.

These passionate fans are competing to create the wittiest and most amusing memes, showcasing their love for both Jokic’s on-court prowess and his playful spirit off the court. It’s a lighthearted celebration that highlights the camaraderie between athletes and their devoted fans.

The outfit appeared to be a tease to his appearance in a promotion for “Despicable Me 4,” where he seeks therapy because the Minions think he’s their boss.
