Nuggets Fans Gifted Quesarito T-Shirts

The Denver Nuggets found a fun way to commemorate a memorable moment from their superstar center Nikola Jokić’s draft night by distributing Taco Bell-themed t-shirts featuring the iconic Quesarito. This giveaway took place at Ball Arena ahead of their exciting matchup against the Houston Rockets on Saturday.

A Humorous Nod to Draft Night

The idea to hand out these quirky shirts stems from a humorous occurrence during the 2014 NBA Draft when the Nuggets selected Jokić as the 41st overall pick. At that time, a commercial for Taco Bell’s Quesarito was aired, leaving a lasting impression on fans and the player alike. When informed about the shirt giveaway, Jokić responded with laughter, saying, "No way. That's funny. I'm not gonna do it. Not gonna do it." His reaction reflects the light-heartedness of the moment.

Jokić's Elite Performance Continues

Interestingly, while the Quesarito theme adds a playful twist, Jokić continues to dominate in his performance on the court this season. The three-time MVP is averaging an impressive 29.6 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 10.9 assists per game, showcasing his exceptional talents with shooting splits of 61.2/42.6/84.0. As his prowess grows, fans are playfully appealing for him to finally try the Quesarito, a menu item he has yet to sample.
