Nikola Jokic is pretty close to becoming an NBA champion for the first time in his honored career, having won many individual awards and accolades. Now, the Serbian player is set to win the biggest prize and mark an era in the Denver Nuggets history.
One would think he’s obsessed with the game like other legends and superstars, but Jokic actually treats his basketball career as a 9 to 5 job, revealing this isn’t the most important part of his life (5:50 mark).
“Nah. That cannot help you. I knew that even before, that basketball is not the main thing in my life, and probably never [will] be. And to be honest, I like it, because I have something more at home, [something] that is more important than basketball. I think that’s [what I’ve] learned. I already knew that, but this kind of proved that I was correct,” Jokic answered when asked about what he learned after becoming a father.
This is a great approach from the 2x NBA MVP, who knows there are bigger things than this game, as much as we love it. He’s always been a family man that doesn’t hesitate to support his brothers, wife and is always ready to show love for her daughter.
He’s great on the court, and his performances during this playoff run are the best example of that. But Nikola Jokic is much more than that, and his off-court persona deserves even more respect than the basketball superstar.
Nikola Jokic Praised By Damian Lillard As The Best NBA Player Right Now
Damian Lillard gave Jokic his flowers today, naming him the best player in the NBA right now for all the skills he possesses, the way he manages himself on and off the court, and everything he brings to the table as a basketball player.
He’s four games away from winning the NBA championship, and if he fulfills that, Jokic will confirm his status as the greatest Nugget of all time, as well as the best player on earth at this moment.
