Reigning NBA champion and Finals MVP, Nikola Jokic is at the peak of his career and perhaps the best player in the League. A status that inevitably attracts attention wherever he sets foot, which he regrets. The celebrity life is definitely not for him.
Nikola Jokic is a simple man, who is very good at basketball.
This is how we could define the Joker in a single sentence. Long before being the best NBA center, long before being a champion, long before setting records, long before his $275 million contract, Nikola loved spending quality time with his friends and his family, or participate in horse races near Sombor in Serbia. And that hasn’t changed.
The big difference is that he is now treated like a star, with the bad sides that can entail.
Living a “normal” life when you’re one of the best NBA players is complicated. Especially in a society driven by social networks, which make protecting privacy even more difficult. Yet Nikola Jokic does everything not to attract attention apart from his XXL performances on the floors, unlike others who like the spotlight and the lifestyle that comes with star status.
Like Tim Duncan in his time or even Giannis Antetokounmpo who made the same type of speech not very long ago, the Joker is one of those who will remain in the shadows once that he will have hung up his sneakers. Basketball means a lot to him but basketball is not All for him.
A simple man, as they say, who loves the little pleasures of life.
