Jokić Stands Firm on Taco Bell's Quesarito

In a light-hearted moment during Thursday's Christmas Day game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokić made it clear that he has no plans to indulge in Taco Bell's Quesarito. Sporting a t-shirt that boldly declared his decision, Jokić shrugged off repeated attempts from the fast-food giant to persuade him, saying, "I still won't try it."

The backstory of this amusing saga dates back to the 2014 NBA draft. When the Nuggets selected Jokić as the 41st overall pick in the second round, a commercial for Taco Bell's Quesarito aired during the announcement, inadvertently linking the player to the popular menu item. Since then, Jokić has become a three-time MVP, yet he maintains a firm stance on his Taco Bell avoidance.

Before the Nuggets' recent clash with the Houston Rockets, fans were treated to Quesarito-themed t-shirts that prompted the comedic exchange. When Jokić learned of the shirts, his response was humorous yet definitive: "No way. That's funny. I'm not gonna do it. Not gonna do it."

Despite the ongoing promotion, Jokić remains focused on his performance on the court. The 30-year-old continues to dominate this season, averaging an impressive 29.6 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 10.9 assists per game, all while boasting an impressive shooting efficiency of 61.2% from the field, 42.6% from three-point range, and 84.0% from the free-throw line. As the Quesarito controversy continues to entertain fans, Jokić's dedication to excellence on the court remains unwavering.
