Nikola Jokic didn’t waste any time feeding Jamal Murray.
“Hand me a grape, bro,” Murray exhorted the NBA’s two-time reigning Most Valuable Player once he’d spotted the small buffet to the right of the stage at the front of the Nuggets’ interview room at Ball Arena.
The Joker had already beaten him to it, bouncing off the dais and surveying the wares before hopping back up onto the stage with grapes in hand.
“Thanks,” Murray said.
Just like old times.
As for the Nuggets’ eight new players …
“Of course, they have some experience, they can help us,” Jokic noted later.
