Nikola Jokic shows love to every Heat player before celebrating winning the NBA Finals

[@swoopyhoops]

Jokic is such a good sport bro, as soon as the game ended he showed respect to the heat before celebrating.

[@larrycampbell5649]

Yes. The Nuggets and Denver are so similar in play style. Their teams really know how to play together. Denver just had more size and fire power. Denver will be contenders for years to come. I believe the western conference will be controlled by two teams. Denver and Golden state. The East will be controlled by Miami.

[@FkTheUFC]

Great player. Great Captain

[@peolfpetler8500]

He knows how much hard work was put in this playoffs for Miami. It wasn't a coincidence they got to the finals and it's really heartbreaking having a run like this and losing in the finals. But tbf they lost to a better team...

[@brandonvernet]

As a long time Heat, I couldn't be happier to lose to any other team other than the Nuggets. They were simply too skillful yet classy at the same time. They deserved this without a doubt - great team indeed. The heat definitely punched above their weight this season and I couldn't be prouder of them.

[@cheetah219]

I was just so happy to see two teams who wanted it with no drama no baggage. It was the talking heads creating the drama do they had something to talk about. But, both teams just wanted to believe in their team and win the right way. Bad calls were by refs, no fights nor complaining. Just talk it out with the ref and get back on defense. What a gratifying change to finally not see lebron and draymond yelling at refs every chance they get.

Lets state the obvious. Jokic is an incredible player with humility, which is very rare and refreshing to see in NBA players. I personally fell in love with him these playoffs because of how damn good he is, but he truly moved me when I saw how humble he is on top of it too.

Correct. American players at the top of the game tend to be unbearably arrogant with god complexes. Look at international greats: Giannis, Jokic, Dirk. They all seem like good dudes and don't carry themselves with the same arrogance that comes from growing up a premiere athlete in America. You can see why many fans gravitate to these types of personalities over the self proclaimed "king's" of the world.

Jokic epitomizes true sportsmanship and humility. This type of character in a human is more precious than gold and diamonds.
