With a takedown of knucklehead Markieff Morris that would make Ric Flair proud, Nuggets center Nikola Jokic proved he’s more likely to win a WWE championship belt than take home a championship ring from the NBA Finals.
If the reigning MVP is the team’s tough guy, the Nuggets are doing it all wrong.
Before his teammates took the court Wednesday against Indiana, Jokic told coach Michael Malone he would serve his one-game suspension by sitting at home with a glass of red wine in his hand and his newborn baby girl on his lap.
“I said I hope your baby has a bad case of diarrhea,” Malone joked.
