Nikola Jokić

Sombor, Serbia native who came up through Mega Basket and was the 41st pick in 2014, his name called while ESPN was running a Taco Bell Quesarito commercial; a three-time MVP, the 2023 Finals MVP and the Nuggets' cornerstone since 2015. He spends every summer back in Sombor with his harness-racing horses and childhood friends, hosts teammates at the local kafana, and calls his mother's riblji paprikaš, the river-fish stew of the Vojvodina plains, his favorite dish.
