Nikola Jokić says he lost the NBA Finals MVP trophy

Nikola Jokiu0107 had a very busy day on Tuesday. He won an NBA championship and lost a Finals MVP trophy.

The Denver Nuggets star completed a legacy-sealing playoff run with an NBA Finals-clinching Game 5 win, sealing unanimous Finals MVP honors after averaging 30.2 points, 14.0 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.4 blocks while shooting 58.3% from the field and 42.1% from 3-point range against the Miami Heat.

As you might expect, it was a jubilant scene in the Nuggets' locker room after the game. Jokiu0107 drew internet laughter for how calm he was during the proceedings, but he was apparently having enough fun to lose track of something very important.
