Nuggets' Nikola Jokic Finally Tries Quesarito

Nikola Jokić has teamed up with Taco Bell and was shown eating a Quesarito in a new ad, a surprise after he once said he “would never try a Quesarito” because of a draft-day commercial. Taco Bell called the campaign a “friendly apology,” and the Nuggets even handed out Quesarito shirts that Jokić called “funny,” though he previously wore a shirt reading “still won't try it.” Merlin sees a small truce that matters beyond snacks. The moment humanizes a two-time MVP who was the No. 41 pick in 2014 and led Denver to the 2023 title. Jokić is averaging 29.6 points while leading the league with 12.2 rebounds and 11 assists, and he remains the steady center of the Nuggets’ title hopes as endorsements and on-court goals move in harmony.
