The NBA world has once again committed a blunder involving Denver Nuggets star center and NBA Finals MVP, Nikola Jokic.

First, it was the 2014 NBA Draft when the future back-to-back MVP was overshadowed by the Taco Bell commercial. When the Nuggets were choosing Jokic with the 41st pick and making one of the biggest steals in NBA draft history, his name appeared beneath the fast-food chain'sadvertisement during a break in the ESPN broadcast.

Another incident occurred during the coverage of Jokic's five-year max extension with the Nuggets in 2018. ESPN showed highlights of Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic instead of Jokic.

Now, the day after Jokic claimed the first-ever NBA championship for Denver, the NBA Store messed up an email offering special Jokic's NBA Finals MVP merchandise, putting Miami Heat power forward Nikola Jovic in the email title: "Nikola Jovic: NBA Finals MVP." Jovic is also a Serbian, who plays a minor role in the Miami rotation.
