Nikola Jokic, the reigning NBA MVP, is a dominant offensive force known for his toughness—a trait Markieff Morris learned the hard way earlier this season when he faced Jokic’s frustrations.
Despite his fierce competitiveness, Jokic has shown his warm side. This season, NBABuzz on Instagram highlighted his touching gesture: wearing his wedding band laced onto his sneakers during every game, a heartfelt tribute to his wife.
Jokic’s tribute reflects his continued excellence on the court, as he’s performing at an MVP level, leading the Denver Nuggets to secure a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Married to Natalija Macesic since October 2020, Jokic has showcased the strength of their relationship. Together since 2013, the couple shares a daughter, Ognjena, born in 2021.
Jokic’s wedding band has accompanied his stellar season, with the center averaging 25 points, 13 rebounds, and nearly 8 assists per game. His elite playmaking cements his legacy as one of the greatest big men in NBA history. Nuggets fans eagerly hope he maintains this form to solidify Denver’s playoff ambitions.
