Nikola Jokic may not be the most well-known name in the NBA right now, but he is still the finest player on the planet. He may not appear in every commercial, but he is finally getting ones of his own to feature in.

Nikola Jokic and Peyton Watson of the Denver Nuggets participated in two ads for the brand Hotels.com that are making waves today.

Given Nikola Jokic’s fondness for horses, it seemed natural to include them in the commercial. In all honesty, Jokic, like Boban Marjanovic, could perform quite well in some comical advertisements. He has a really humorous demeanor and is also a fantastic basketball player. There were even ad outtakes that showcased Nikola Jokic’s hilarious timing.

While it may appear like being in a commercial isn’t a big thing, it is for Denver Nuggets fans. Many NBA detractors dismiss playing for a smaller market like Denver due to a lack of opportunities. Seeing Jokic succeed in this manner, win MVPs, a title, and star in a mainstream commercial, demonstrates that narrative is false. There is always a way to disprove the myths of living in a small market, as the Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic have done season after season.
