After winning their first NBA title on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, the Denver Nuggets celebrated their historic victory, and how.

Serbian star Nikola Jokic, who played a crucial role for the Nuggets, celebrated with his team-mates at the championship parade in Denver in the American state of Colorado (movie superstar Madhuri Dixit lived in Denver for several years after her wedding before she relocated to Mumbai with her family).

Jokic -- who said he wants to get back to Serbia as soon as he can -- gave a speech to the estimated 750,000 (yeah, you read that number right) Nuggets fans.

'This is the best night of my f**king life,'Jokic, all 6'11" of him, said. 'We're going to remember this our whole lives. We love you Denver. This one is for you!'
