Nuggets center Nikola Jokić is the basketball equivalent of a five-tool player, capable of passing, shooting, defending and performing just about any basketball-related skill you can imagine at an elite level.
On Tuesday, NBA fans finally got familiar with yet another skill Jokić has within him—acting.
Videos circulated on social media of Jokić leading a new ad campaign for Hotels.com alongside teammate Peyton Watson. The comical ads play off of Jokić’s love of horses, and his relationship with Watson to delightful results.
But the real gold, as always, was left in the bloopers.
While the finished advertisements showed that Jokić could soon become an elite pitchman like many of his NBA counterparts, the bloopers showed that he still might need a bit of practice in front of the camera.

Fans loved the light-hearted side that Jokić was able to show in the campaign.

Jokic and Peyton have such a great relationship. Jok has embraced a leadership role for a while now but he's particularly taken Watson under his wing it seems. Always chatting during timeouts, often sitting close on the bench https://t.co/oy6QhVkcA3
