Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic Humorously Explains Why He’s Never Eaten At Taco Bell After The Infamous 2014 NBA Draft Moment
The Denver Nuggets made a wise decision when they selected Nikola Jokic with the 41st overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. At that time, few people could have predicted the remarkable journey he would undertake. Fast forward to today, and Jokic is one of the league’s top players, delivering impressive performances week after week. Interestingly, his well-known draft-day experience has even prompted him to avoid Mexican fast food.
Nikola Jokic’s journey is closely tied to a hilarious incident involving Mexican fast food during the 2014 NBA Draft. As Jokic’s name was called, the broadcast had a Taco Bell commercial that totally stole the spotlight, showcasing only the bare minimum about his selection.
Fast forward to Jokic’s rise as a superstar, and this unforgettable moment turned into a running joke among fans and players. Jokic still isn’t a fan of that experience from his draft day.
In the documentary “Court of Gold,” he candidly shared his amusing yet complicated ties to the fast-food chain that stole his moment, quipping, “I think I’ve never had Taco Bell just because of that.”
