Don’t ask Nikola Jokic about turning 30, even if his game is aging like wine: “It makes me feel sad”

When it comes to gifts, Nikola Jokic is a man of simple tastes. He doesn’t want much, and he didn’t receive much on Wednesday when he begrudgingly celebrated his 30th birthday.

But he did appreciate the tea collection he got from one of the Nuggets’ new team security officials. The reigning MVP has been known to occasionally request a cup of tea in the locker room.

“I like to drink tea,” Jokic said simply.

Denver’s most decorated athlete is showing no signs of a looming decline as he enters his 30s.
