High school sweethearts Nikola and Natalija Jokic have been together ever since, and she has supported his record-breaking NBA career with a video of a fan hitting her in the face with a beer can viral
Denver Nuggets’ arranged a parade to celebrate their first championship
Natalija Jokic also attended the parade on Thursday to honour the Denver Nuggets’ championship win, but it came at a steep cost. In the midst of their NBA Finals triumph parade, the Denver Nuggets were having a great time. However, during the march, Nikola Jokic’s wife was struck by a falling beer can.

As you can see, a beer bottle that became loose struck Natalija Jokic in the face. The man on her left and Nikola Jokic behind her promptly cater to her needs. Since throwing beers to players during victory parades has grown more and more usual, it is obvious that there was no malice behind the flying can. Moreover, Natalija seemed to be doing OK.
Although Natalija and Nikola only got married in October 2020, she has been at his side ever since they were teenagers. When Nikola joined the Nuggets in 2015, she moved there with him, and ever since then, she has been rooting for the two-time NBA MVP from the stands. At Nikola’s sports competitions, Natalija regularly makes an appearance with their daughter Ognjena.
Nikola Jokic confirmed his place among the NBA’s greats.
The Denver Nuggets superstar secured unanimous Finals MVP honours after averaging 30.2 points, 14.0 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.4 blocks while shooting 58.3% from the field and 42.1% from 3-point range against the Miami Heat in Game 5. The victory sealed the Denver Nuggets star’s legacy-sealing postseason run.
As soon as the Denver Nuggets won their first NBA title, Nikola was awarded NBA Finals MVP. Given that they will be bringing back essentially the same core of players, the Nuggets are predicted to be in the same spot next season. There will be the largest target now since they achieved everything this season.

Nikola revelled in the affection, sensed the energy, and unpredictably found joy in spending parade day in Denver. The Finals MVP finally gave in to living in the moment during the previous several days, revealing a bit of his personality to the world but still adhering to his concept of offering as little as possible. However, he learned from it that taking part isn’t all unpleasant and that it’s not all “play ball, go home, leave me alone.”
