Jokic Bros. heckle Jack Nicholson after Nuggets beat Lakers in ...

22 May 2023

The Jokic brothers, older siblings of Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic, heckled Jack Nicholson on Saturday at Crypto.com Arena after the Los Angeles Lakers lost Game 3 of the Western Conference finals in the 2023 NBA Playoffs.

Nicholson, 86, reportedly "exchanged pleasantries" with the brothers, as well, and looked "salty" on his way out of the arena, according to Vic Lombardi of AltitudeTV.

The NBA on ESPN account shared a video on Twitter showing the Jokic Bros. waving goodbye at Nicholson while yelling "see you next year."

Nicholson didn't respond and the Jokic brothers bumped fists in celebration. Nuggets are now just one win away from reaching the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history.

Game 4 tipoff is scheduled for 17:30 PT from Crypto.com Arena and it's unlikely that Nicholson will be back.

Nicholson had not been to a Lakers game since the 2021-22 season opener, but reappeared in these playoffs' first round against the Memphis Grizzlies.

He also attended a game against the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals, both wins for the Purple & Gold.

In fact, the Lakers had not lost at home through the entire postseason, and it's all coming to an end.

Darvin Ham, a rookie NBA coach, made the same costly mistake in all three WCF games, leaving LA in a vulnerable position.
