Nikola Jokic is a man of few words; he isn’t one to show too much excitement off the court. The reigning two-time MVP is hard to read, but he is pleasant whenever he is caught on camera, a really warm character.
After the Denver Nuggets played the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night, he shared a wholesome moment with fellow Serbian Boban Marjanovic, and the video is quite sweet.

Boban Marjanovic and Nikola Jokic embraced after the game and exchanged some kisses, which was a cute moment. Boban is one of the most well-loved and respected players in the league, and the genuine joy at seeing his countryman was apparent on Jokic’s face as well. The video went viral, with quite a few fans reacting to it.

Another noticed the lovely expressions on Nikola Jokic’s face, stating, “Never seen Jokic smile like this.”

A joke about how big the two Serbians are was bound to come in as well: “Mf so happy to have someone to look eye to eye with.”
Free Boban! Man needs to be in a team where he gets consistent minutes. It's pretty sad to see him warming on the bench 😭 https://t.co/KGJYSt7dYJ

And some used the eyeballs of the moment to call for Boban Marjanovic to be in a better situation, with one fan commenting, “Free Boban! Man needs to be in a team where he gets consistent minutes. It’s pretty sad to see him warming on the bench.”
Boban is a national treasure and does not deserve to be in that hell hole we call the Rockets. Someone save this man! https://t.co/bA25Pqbyde

They weren’t the only ones saying it either: “Boban is a national treasure and does not deserve to be in that hell hole we call the Rockets. Someone save this man!”
The moment wasn’t too much more than two friends and teammates greeting one another, but it was lovely to see nonetheless. And it’s easy to see that Nikola Jokic vibes with his Balkan contemporaries, as his birthday party list made clear.
Luka Doncic And His Girlfriend Were The Only Non-Family Members At Nikola Jokic’s Birthday Party
Luka Doncic is good friends with both Nikola Jokic and Boban Marjanovic. And he was recently spotted and Nikola Jokic’s birthday party. What made it interesting also was that he and his girlfriend were the only people there that weren’t Jokic’s family.
Being in a country away from your homeland can be daunting, even for superstars like Nikola Jokic. So a little bit of home when meeting others that are from the same part of the world can go a long way. Who knows if it’ll ever translate to anything basketball related, but that certainly wouldn’t be out of the question.
