Nuggets' Nikola Jokic Wears Shirt Saying He 'Still Won't Try' Taco Bell's Quesarito
Nice try, Taco Bell.
After many attempts to try and get Nikola Jokić to try the Quesarito, the Denver Nuggets star wore a t-shirt to Thursday's Christmas Day game against the Minnesota Timberwolves saying he "still won't try it."
The Nuggets initially gave away t-shirts to fans featuring the Quesarito following the fast food chain's infamous draft night moment involving Jokić, posting a video of the shirts on the seats at Ball Arena prior to a clash with the Houston Rockets on Saturday.
"No way," Jokić said after he found out about the shirts. "That's funny. I'm not gonna do it. Not gonna do it."
When Denver selected Jokić in the second round of the 2014 NBA draft at No. 41 overall, a commercial for Taco Bell's Quesarito memorably played on the broadcast while the pick was made.
The three-time MVP later revealed that he's never eaten at the restaurant.
With the Quesarito returning to Taco Bell, the shirts were used to urge Jokić to finally try the menu item.
The 30-year-old has continued to perform at an elite level on the court this season, averaging 29.6 points and 12.3 rebounds to go along with 10.9 assists per game on 61.2/42.6/84.0 shooting splits.
