Center Nikola Jokic is one of the best players in the league, and he notably led the Denver Nuggets to the 2023 NBA championship. However, he clearly has other interests outside of basketball.

It is well-known across the league that Nikola Jokic is a big fan of horse racing, and it seems as though he recently achieved something big in that area. It was recently reported that Nikola Jokic is now a horse-racing championship, and naturally, a lot of NBA fans reacted to this accomplishment. One fan suggested that this means more to him than the championship. 

Another fan showed a video that revealed Jokic was more excited about winning a  championship in horse racing than in the NBA.

One person claimed that basketball is a "side gig" for Jokic.

There were some that commended Nikola Jokic for being his authentic self.

One fan hilariously said that Nikola Jokic can do anything but jump.

We even saw suggestions that this counts as back-to-back titles for the big man.

Others claimed that Jokic's year is "complete".

A fan also pointed out that Nikola Jokic's NBA career is simply a job for him, rather than a hobby.

It is clear that many fans were happy for Nikola Jokic's win of a horse racing championship. It is always good to see someone succeed in an area that they love, and Jokic truly seems happy about his win.

This past season, Nikola Jokic averaged 24.5 PPG, 11.8 RPG, and 9.8 APG for the Denver Nuggets. He is clearly an MVP-level player, and it will be interesting to see how he does next season.

Nikola Jokic Wants To Become A Trotting Coach After He Retires From Basketball

It seems as though Nikola Jokic's post-retirement plans also involve horses. In fact, he previously revealed that his dream is to "move back to Serbia and become a trotting coach", after the conclusion of his NBA career.

"My dream is to move back to Serbia and become a trotting coach after my basketball career. My country is, unfortunately, the worst in Europe in trotting, and there are maybe 150 starting horses, and it is very difficult to start abroad. But it's still great fun."

Hopefully, though, Nikola Jokic doesn't retire too soon. He is clearly a transcendent talent, and it is truly a joy to watch him play. Jokic is also in the middle of his prime right now, and it is likely that he'll have a lot more good years.
