The current NBA MVP, Nikola Jokic, is a formidable offensive force who is known for his toughness. Markieff Morris had to learn this quality the hard way earlier in the season when he had to deal with Jokic’s annoyance.

Jokic has displayed a tender side despite his intense competitiveness. During every game this season, NBABuzz on Instagram showcased his heartfelt homage to his wife by wearing his wedding band hooked onto his sneakers.

Jokic’s homage highlights his ongoing success on the floor, where he is guiding the Denver Nuggets to a Western Conference playoff berth and playing at an MVP level.

Jokic, who has been married to Natalija Macesic since October 2020, has demonstrated the depth of their bond. The pair has been together since 2013, and their daughter, Ognjena, was born in 2021.

Jokic has had an incredible season, averaging 25 points, 13 rebounds, and over 8 assists per game, and his wedding band has been there to support him. His reputation as one of the best big men in NBA history is cemented by his outstanding playmaking. Fans of the Nuggets are hoping he keeps up this play to further cement Denver’s hopes of making the playoffs.
