Nikola Jokić capped off his historic run through the NBA playoffs by coming up huge for the Nuggets in the fourth quarter of Game 5 against the Heat and leading Denver to its first-ever NBA title with a 94-89 win in front a raucous home crowd.

Jokić finished with 28 points and 16 rebounds and then did something pretty classy moments after the final whistle blew—he went and shook hands with just about every player on the Heat. 

Then Jokić went and found his family and celebrated by scooping up his adorable daughter and bringing her into the team’s celebration and the postgame festivities.
