Peyton Watson recently shared a lighthearted moment with his teammate Nikola Jokić during their flight back to Denver. As the team settled in, Watson noticed the reigning MVP had dozed off, leading to a playful idea.

With his phone ready, Watson snapped a candid photo of Jokić mid-sleep, capturing the Serbian superstar in a rare unguarded moment. He then took to social media to post the picture, adding a witty caption that teased Jokić’s quiet demeanor, suggesting he was recharging for his next big game.

The post quickly went viral, bringing laughter to fans and teammates alike. This playful prank highlighted the camaraderie and humor that define the NBA, showcasing the community spirit beyond the competitive nature of the sport.
