Nikola Jokic is on his way to potentially winning the MVP for a third consecutive time. But the Denver Nuggets big man isn’t even overthinking about that, his passion very evidently lies somewhere else.
Nikola Jokic is a bit different from other NBA superstars. He’s not big on social media and doesn’t even care much about the All-Star Game. He does love horse racing though, as he showed in a recent viral clip (via Reddit).
Nikola Jokic has been known to watch horse racing on his phone during practice, and before and after games. He has spoken about his love for horses a lot too. And fans on Reddit had some hilarious reactions to this latest video.
One Reddit user knows how teams can get Jokic in free agency, saying, “First team to build a stable beside their arena will win the Jokic sweepstakes once his contract ends.”
Another fan observed that his enthusiasm is infectious, saying, “Michael Malone is into it as well.”
As always, someone was trying to roast Jokic as well, with a reference to the Denver Nuggets‘ recent loss to the Memphis Grizzlies: “Should have gotten more passionate about playing D against Memphis.”
Lastly, there were some comments suggesting that this video isn’t about horse racing, with one fan explaining that it is basketball related, saying, “He’s not watching horse racing here, he’s actually following playoffs of the second Serbian Basketball league (3-4th division realistically). His hometown team is in the playoffs rn so he is supporting them.”
Whatever it was that he was watching, Nikola Jokic’s love for horse racing seems to have become common knowledge around the NBA. His passion for horses is well known, and it’s a bit funny to see that he gets more excited about that than being in the conversation about winning a 3rd consecutive MVP.
Nikola Jokic Arrived To Collect His Second MVP Award On A Horse
During the offseason, Jokic spends a lot of time in Serbia tending to his horses. And when he won his second consecutive MVP last season, he showed up to collect it while riding a horse.

NBA culture has changed a lot over the years, although Nikola Jokic might be the first prominent superstar to be this enamored with horses. It explains how he’s able to methodically dismantle teams regularly though, he probably wants to end the game early so he can go back to watching a race or something.
