Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokić brought some fun and humor to the NBA playoffs opener against the Los Angeles Lakers by dressing up as Gru from Despicable Me. The Serbian player’s resemblance to the animated character was uncanny, and he fully embraced the look as he arrived at Ball Arena in Denver.

On the same day a promo for Despicable Me 4 was released showing Jokić trying to avoid Minions because he resembled their boss, the NBA star took it a step further by donning the iconic Gru outfit. The commitment to the costume was commendable, and fans couldn’t help but appreciate Jokić’s sense of humor.

Twitter was abuzz with reactions to Jokić’s transformation, with many applauding his dedication to the bit. The playful gesture added a lighthearted touch to the intense playoff atmosphere, and fans are looking forward to seeing if Jokić continues the theme throughout the postseason.

As the NBA playoffs progress and Despicable Me 4 promotions continue, Jokić’s Gru impersonation is sure to remain a memorable moment in the league’s history. Who knows, maybe a voice cameo in the movie isn’t out of the question for the jovial player.
