Not often do you hear Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic being complimented for his fashion sense. Not only has “The Joker” won the internet over with his fantastic suit but he also has the co-sign of NBA legend Charles Barkley.
If Nikola Jokic’s giant stature was not scary enough, the Nuggets superstar decided to come suited up for his game against the Memphis Grizzlies looking like a villain from a Hollywood movie. Jokic channeled his “Bond Villain” energy with a turtle neck sweater and a stylish suit to win the internet over. Charles Barkley, former NBA player and now an analyst on the “Inside the NBA” show was very impressed with The Joker’s fit.
Barkley has been brutally honest about players’ outfits in the past but Jokic truly won him over with his recent stylish suit. Responding to Barkley’s praise on the show, the Nuggets star said, “I started doing it this season. I think it’s one way to represent yourself. I just don’t like how the guys are dressing up for the games. Wearing a suit means business. I’m here to do my job.”
Yep, you heard it from the man himself. Nikola Jokic means nothing but business and boy did he back his words up. The main man of the Denver side dropped yet another triple-double performance for bagging 13-13-13 seeing through his side get a win over Ja Morant’s Grizzlies. Chuck was not the only person that complimented Jokic. Shaquille O’Neal claimed the Serbian was the “Tim Duncan of Big Man”.
