11:58 AM PT — Nikola Jokic provided some quality entertainment following the parade … getting behind the mic at the rally and proclaiming Thursday was “the best day of my f***ing life.”
The Finals MVP dropped a few f-bombs while addressing the crowd … doing a complete 180 on his previous feelings over having to stay in America for the festivities before going back to Serbia.
“You know that I told [you] that I don’t want to stay and parade, but I f***ing want to stay and parade,” Jokic said as fans erupted.
Head coach Michael Malone also said a dirty word … saying he’s ready to defend the title next season.
“We’re running this s*** back!” Malone said.
Unclear whether booze inspired the NSFW speeches … but if so, be sure to drink some water, fellas.
The Denver Nuggets’ NBA championship parade is officially underway … and things are already off to a hot start — with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope getting into a beer-chugging contest with a fan in the crowd!!
The awesome moment went down as the team made its way through the streets on firetrucks … when KCP decided to hop off and down some brews with a lucky supporter.

The basketball player destroyed his competition … but no one seemed to really be keeping score, as the two hugged it out at the end — and the fan lost his damn mind.
Not everyone was guzzling the beers on hand, though — Christian Braun did a sort of Triple H/”Stone Cold” Steve Austin combination by spitting out his drink as his truck cruised down the street.

Finals MVP Nikola Jokic has his whole family with him for the celly … so we take it he’ll mostly be on his best behavior — but we’re hoping he decides to let loose a bit.
The parade will end at Civic Center Park … where the team will hold its rally.
