Nikola Jokiu0107 is trying to get back to his horses. Immediately.
After scoring 151 points with 70 rebounds and 36 assists across five games to beat the Miami Heat for the NBA title Monday, the 2023 Finals MVP was shocked to learn that he'd be expected to appear at a championship parade with the rest of the Denver Nuggets on Thursday.
He went from asking, "When is parade?" in a postgame news conference to quickly devising a plan to get back to his native Serbia as soon as it's finished. To make that happen, he wants the help of team president Josh Kroenke.
