Nikola Jokic has unique demand from Victor Wembanyama after All-Star Game

A Victor Wembanyama signature just wasn’t enough for Nikola Jokic on Sunday.

Following the NBA’s All-Star Game at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Jokic passed around his Team World jersey to his squadmates for autographs, but when he got to Wembanyama, he demanded more than a mere John Hancock.

In video the NBA shared after Team World bowed out of the entertaining round-robin tournament, Jokic could be seen requesting a unique drawing from the Spurs center in addition to his signature.

“Where’s the alien?” Jokic said bluntly. “I want the alien.”

Wembanyama, of course, has earned the “alien” nickname due to his 7-foot-4 frame and his guard-like playing ability, and from time to time, he’s been known to adorn his autographs with an extraterrestrial caricature.

And, after Jokic insisted he make the sketch on his uniform, Wembanyama obliged.

The 22-year-old first drew the head, then filled in the eyeballs, and when he was done, Jokic seemed pleased.

It’s now the second time the Nuggets center and Wembanayama have suited for an All-Star game together, but given the way the two are playing, it’s hard to imagine Jokic won’t be making a similar demand of the San Antonio star at the NBA’s annual showcase yet again in 2027.
