New Nikola Jokic commercial features Nuggets star roasting Peyton Watson with a hilariously stray shot

Nikola Jokic Peyton Watson Nuggets NBA Nikola Jokić

The Denver Nuggets are in the midst of attempting to capture rare air.

Should the defending NBA champions go back-to-back, they will be the first team since the 2017-2018 Golden State Warriors to repeat. With superstars like Nikola Jokic — the best player in the world — and talented youngsters coming off the bench like Peyton Watson, this lofty goal certainly seems attainable.

But with the holiday season in full swing, Jokic and Watson took some time off together in a new Hotels.com commercial. It features Jokic giving Watson a tour of the seats around a resort’s pool, likening it to the seats you’d see at an NBA game. And while finishing his (fake) tour, Jokic took an amusing shot at Watson’s current reserve status. (Note: This was one of two commercial spots featuring Jokic and Watson, with the other centering on Jokic’s love of horses.)

If anything, it’s abundantly clear this Nuggets team really likes playing together if players can joke around like this:

The Nuggets are currently in third place in the Western Conference standings. But for December, it’s still early in the NBA season. With talents like Jokic and Watson, it might only be a matter of time before they charge up the standings — regardless of where both players sit down.

This was how Twitter reacted to Jokic and Watson's commercial
