The NBA’s newest family feud is all anyone has been talking about lately.
Following an on-court altercation between Nikola Jokic and Markieff Morris, their siblings have gotten involved, to the point where threats were exchanged online.
Naturally, fans have been enjoying the show, and some have even considered what a “battle” between the Jokic bros and Morris twins would look like.
Of course, we’ll never know for sure, as it’s unlikely this “rivalry” will translate into anything more than words — but Marcus and ‘Keiff might be better off that way.
Seriously, the Jokic family does not look like the type to mess around with.
In fact, back in 2017, Nikola had this to say about his brother, Strahinja.
“Why be afraid? I am playing a game of basketball. I am scared of only one person in my life. That’s my brother. Have you seen him?”

So, who is Strahinja? He’s a pretty massive dude with huge biceps who is apparently known to punch things when he gets irritated.
However, Strahinja can sometimes get irritated, and has even punched chairs on occasion.
Apparently, he gets it from their dad, who is “really passionate” about watching the games.
“He screams, yells. Nobody sits around him,” Nemanja says of his father.
Unfortunately, the guy was also arrested on suspicion of assault back in 2018.
Needless to say, you don’t really want to mess with the Jokic brothers, especially since they’ve already warned Marcus.
“You should leave this the way it is instead of publicly threatening our brother! Your brother made a dirty play first. If you want to make a step further be sure we will be waiting for you !! Jokic Brothers,” they wrote.
It remains to be seen how this whole thing will play out. But when the Nuggets meet Miami again later this month, it’s sure to be an entertaining affair.
