The reason why Nikola Jokic believes the Nuggets will win the NBA championship in 2025

The 2024/25 NBA season will have the Boston Celtics as the reigning champion, a role previously held by the Denver Nuggets last year, who were eliminated in the Conference semifinals in the seventh game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

However, their star and 3-time NBA MVP, Nikola Jokic, claims that this will be the year of the Nuggets again, and that the team will secure their second championship ring in the 2025 playoffs. What's the reason? In statements gathered by Eurohoops, the Serbian reveals it.

"The last time I played with the national team, we won a championship. It may mean something, it may not. Most players say that a summer tournament helps you stay fit. I'm not sure if that's true, but I had a great time and feel like I improved. Whether it impacts my current basketball or not, who knows," says Nikola Jokic.

The Precedent with Serbia

Nikola Jokic refers to the Eurobasket 2022. The Serbian star played with his national team in that tournament, and the following year, he won the NBA with the Denver Nuggets. Will the same happen this season after participating in the Paris Olympics? Only time will tell.
