While Nikola Jokic appears to be shy and uninterested in celebrating his first NBA Championship, former Denver Nuggets guard Bruce Brown offered an astonishing story about partying with the Finals MVP.

“He had me drinking some Serbian whiskey, bro.” “We were shooting,” Brown explained. “It was my goal all night to get him drunk, right?” And he’s just changed the script. But he has a bigger frame, and I wasn’t even thinking about that. And we were drinking some Serbian whiskey, and I was done, bro. My lesson was learned. He’ll never be the same.”

These are the kinds of anecdotes that supporters enjoy hearing since, with Jokic not on social media and virtually hiding over the winter, there is no real insight into his offseason activities. While there is nothing wrong with this, it is entertaining to hear about the Finals MVP enjoying his significant success from one of the teammates with whom he was celebrating.

Brown accepted a contract offer from the Indiana Pacers after winning the championship and partying with Jokic. This is a significant loss for Denver, which was heavily relied on Brown and his versatility, but it was something they had anticipated. With limited options for the versatile guard, the Nuggets expected him to leave for a better deal, which is exactly what transpired.
