Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic has three MVP awards in his locker and an NBA championship ring, but the future hall-of-fame player famously didn’t get much respect on TV back in 2014 when he was drafted during a Taco Bell commercial.

That item had since disappeared from the menu, but on Dec. 18, Taco Bell brought it back nationwide alongside an ad campaign that begs Jokic to try one.
