Nuggets Champion Reveals Only Time Nikola Jokic Lost His Temper

Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic blew up once on his teammates

Impressively stoic throughout the entire postseason, Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic lost his temper once en route to the championship. Recently joining the Gil's Arena show, Nuggets champion Thomas Bryant revealed the one time Jokic blew up on his teammates.

"It was one time throughout the playoffs where he actually showed emotion," Bryant said. "I think we ran a play wrong and like turned the ball over two or three times in a row. He was just like, 'I don't f--king care about scoring, just play the right f--king way.' It was during a time out, and we were all like, 'Okay, this dude locked in now.' The crazy thing is he doesn't care about scoring. The dude is so passive, like he wants to get people open, he wants to pass the ball. It's easy as hell to play with him."

As Bryant explained, Jokic wasn't upset about anything other than the Nuggets not playing the right way. This mentality is largely what makes him and his team so great, because while other players may be more physically gifted, Jokic's approach to the game is unmatched in many ways.

It was cool to hear Bryant tell this story, because fans don't often get an inside look into how Jokic operates throughout the course of a game. Primarily stoic, the Finals MVP had one moment where he aggressively spoke up.
