Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic won three-time NBA MVP and title from Serbia’s second-round draft pick.
ESPN broadcasts showed Taco Bell ads, so Jokic from the Nuggets was chosen at the 2014 draft of Serbia. With Jokic standing out in the last few years, NBA fans can’t believe that someone like Star Center seems to be past.

He said in an interview with Nuggets’ social media team that he would never eat in a fast food chain again.
“I don’t think I’ve ever had tacos just because of that,” he said.
Jokic didn’t come to the NBA until the 2015-16 season and developed into a player who can compete for the starting role. He started 55 games in his first season and 59 games next season. He then started 73 of his 75 appearances in the 2017-18 season.

The Nuggets star won his first All-Star Game in 2019, and his status rose from there. He was back-to-back MVP for 2021 and 2022, and then again in the 2023-24 season. Denver also won the NBA championship in 2023.
He is one of the best players in the league and one of the best international players in the NBA ever.
This year, Jokic averaged 29.4 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists. He will be competing for the NBA MVP again.
