It is still incredible that a nation of Serbia’s size has produced two of the greatest sportsmen in the world today, Novak Djokovic and Nikola Jokic.

While Djokovic is arguably the greatest sporting icon in Serbia, he has hailed the Denver Nuggets superstar as the pride of the country. With the Joker finally back home following the title parade, his hometown of Sombor has welcomed him with a special billboard.

Jokic certainly would appreciate seeing those horses next to him on that billboard. Serbia also honored him with a display on the tallest building in the country, the Belgrade Tower.

Jokic wanted to rush back home as soon as he could after winning the title and was disappointed that he’d have to stay till the parade on Thursday. Once in the parade though, he changed his tune as he loved the experience and that was great to see. He was also partying in Las Vegas later on and was having the time of his life.


Nike Has Put Out A Commercial And A Billboard For Nikola Jokic

It isn’t just his hometown and country that has honored Jokic of course, as Nike has also done the same. After he won the title, they released a unique commercial that was just about the perfect Jokic commercial in existence. There was nothing flashy about it and it had some humor mixed along with it too.

Jokic himself didn’t really make an appearance in the commercial, as Nike knew he probably wouldn’t be all that interested in making one. 

They also unveiled a brilliant Jokic billboard titled ‘No Joke’ in New York to celebrate his title win. You wonder if he’ll now finally get a signature shoe as well as his fame continues to grow exponentially. He just had one of the greatest playoff runs in NBA history with averages of 30.0 PPG, 13.5 RPG, 9.5 APG, 1.1 SPG, and 1.0 BPG, and seems to be finally getting the respect and adoration he deserves.
