In case you weren’t aware, Denver Nuggets center Jusuf Nurkic is an awesome guy. Not only is he a humble rookie for the Nuggets, but he’s a standout human off (or I guess, on) the court. In the picture above, he’s getting his shirt signed by a Special Olympics athlete, and he’s not the first. According to the original poster, he asked an entire team of Special Olympics athletes who were visiting the Pepsi Center to sign his shirt.

It’s not every day we see professional athletes show compassion like this. In this case, though, it’s safe to say that Nurkic is warming hearts everywhere.
