"Nikola Jokic casually roasting & bullying everyone" - NBA fans react to Victor Wembanyama getting mocked by Nuggets star over book obsession

Victor Wembanyama arrived at Oracle Arena on Sunday for his first NBA All-Star Game. As he walked into the locker room, Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic couldn’t help but notice the towering Frenchman carrying a book with him.

Jokic playfully called Wembanyama out for bringing a book to his first All-Star Game. Wembanyama explained that reading before games is a personal tradition. In response, the Serbian star jokingly mocked him with a face-palm gesture.

Fans on social media quickly reacted to Jokic's lighthearted jab at Wembanyama. Here’s what some had to say on X, formerly Twitter.

"Jokic casually roasting, and bullying everyone for the entirety of AllStar weekend, has become tradition," one said.

"Feels like an episode of The Office where Jokic is Michael & Wemby is Dwight 😂," another added.

Here are other reactions on X:

"The Office but just All Star NBA players wanting to be anywhere else in the world but there," one said.

"Bringing a book is weird, but bringing a horse isn't, yeah Joker, your right," one sarcastically said.

"Wemby is slowly becoming one of my fave players man …. He doesn’t feel the need to fit in but does what makes him happy & reading is always great," another said.

"Doesn’t Jokic ride around in a little Horse and carriage? Lmao he’s one to talk about hobbies," another said.
