Superstar Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets has made a delightful appearance in the latest trailer for Despicable Me 4, ahead of the NBA playoffs. 

Dressed in a suave suit, Jokic humorously laments his resemblance to Gru from the Despicable Me movies in the promo. The trailer depicts Jokic being followed by a group of enthusiastic Minions, who clearly cannot get enough of his striking resemblance to their (formerly) despicable boss. 

In the promotional video, Jokic was consulting a therapist, who explained how the Minions were not letting him alone. On getting asked by the on-screen therapist about his dressing issue, Jokic said, “They say I look like Gru.” 


However, the Joker was seen getting agitated for being followed by the Minions and telling them he is not their boss, i.e. Gru.

This light-hearted and entertaining promotional collaboration between Jokic and the beloved Minions adds an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming playoffs, showcasing a playful and unexpected crossover between the NBA and the popular animated franchise.
