Admit it. Jokic’s jokes are so bad, they are good.

Ah, yes, Nikola Jokic. The man who has quickly became the budding super star for the Denver Nuggets. We all know about  his crafty passing, his ability to stuff the stat sheet, and just how far he has come in his progress overall.

However, he sure does know how to keep it light hearted as well. There are many reasons he is known as “The Joker.” One of these reasons is his ability to be a jokester. He was seen pulling pranks on teammates a couple of times coming out of the locker room this season. The real highlight though was “Jokes with Jokic.”

These are basically jokes Jokic comes up with and tells that are so cringe worthy, you can’t help but laugh at them. The most recent one was one where he asked “how do fish get high?” The answer. “Sea weed.” Now, this is really bad, I am not even going to lie. However, it really is genius when you think about it. Very simple, but yet so clever.

Or how about the infamous “how does a pig do karaoke?” joke? Of course the answer was ” a pork chop.”  “How do you organize a party in space?” “You planet early.” “Can a kangaroo jump higher than a house?” “Of course not, a house can’t jump.” These are all so cringe worthy, but yet, one can’t help but give him (or whoever may have wrote) credit for being so clever.

The Denver Nuggets truly possess a gem in Nikola Jokic. Not just a gem as a basketball player, but a gem as a joker as well. Oh, and you can bet that the other teammates welcome the humor in the locker room as well. It certainly is a boost of energetic energy when things start to get rough in the middle of the long season. No doubt, these jokes will continue to be a hit in the future.
