BasketNews: This is a dream come true for Nikola Jokic! 🤩 pic.x.com/zyubex3rxy -via Twitter @BasketNews_com / August 12, 2024
But after all his hard work, Jokic earned himself some downtime. The Denver Nuggets star went viral on social media for making an appearance at the local horse racing track in his hometown of Sombor, Serbia. The Joker was rocking a plain white tank top and had a Heineken in hand before taking his seat to watch the Trotting Derby. The look would make any middle-aged dad proud. -via Larry Brown Sports / August 12, 2024
