On their journey back to Denver, Peyton Watson couldn’t help but have a good time with his teammate Nikola Jokić. As the players took their seats on the aircraft, Watson saw that the current MVP had fallen asleep without realizing the naughty scheme was being carried out.

Watson discreetly took a candid picture of Jokic as he was sleeping using his phone, catching the Serbian superstar in an uncommon, vulnerable moment.

The fun didn’t end there, though, as Watson chose to publish the photo on social media with a clever remark, adding his own comedic spin to it.

His humorous caption made fun of Jokić’s reserved manner by joking that the large man was getting ready for his upcoming major match.

As soon as the post became viral, both teammates and spectators started laughing. It was more than just a harmless joke; it served as a reminder of the comedy and camaraderie that made the NBA more than just a game but a community of people who enjoy lighthearted moments as well as competitive spirit.

Social media users were immediately drawn to the image, and many of them commented and joked about it. Jokić was the ideal target for Watson’s lighthearted antics because of his quiet and modest demeanor. It was evident that the two teammates had a close relationship both on and off the court despite their amicable banter.
