NBA playoffs: Nikola Jokić shows up to Game 3 dressed as the actual Joker

DENVER — After a tough Game 2 in Oklahoma City, Nikola Jokiu0107 opted for a costume change ahead of Game 3.

With his Denver Nuggets back home and a chance to take a 2-1 series lead, the Joker dressed up pregame Friday night as, well, the Joker. Seriously.

Jokiu0107 showed up to Ball Arena decked out in a purple suit, a green vest and a chain on his vest in an obvious nod to the Batman villain that's become Jokiu0107's namesake during his rise as a three-time NBA MVP.

It was certainly not typical of Jokiu0107, who’s generally not one to make waves with his fashion sense or his pregame tunnel walks.
