We all know that Nikola Jokic is seeing his NBA career as somewhat of a side quest, and that’s exactly what we love about him. For the Joker, basketball is a job, and nothing more. A job he doesn’t even like most of the time, if we believe the Finals MVP himself.
Yes, Nikola Jokic is a global Superstar. But as soon as his NBA season ends, you’ll find him back home in Sombor, Serbia working on his farm, his stables, his horses while enjoying food and a couple of alcoholic drinks with his friends and family.
The fame and the money hasn’t changed Jokic one bit. He’s exactly the same guy that left Sombor over a decade ago. We’ve got another reminder of that after Jokic won a horse race this past weekend. The Finals MVP could be seen celebrating with a big trophy in his hands, while dancing to Serbian music, appearing a lot more excited than after winning the NBA championship.
