Nikola Jokic is one of the most decorated players in the NBA.
MVP’s, a title, a nickname, all that stuff, he doesn’t give a shit.
This is where we get to see Nikola Jokic let loose.
A bronze medal for his country with his boys.
I know it means different to a country like Serbia compared to the US.
We’re expected to win gold no matter who we send.
Serbia getting a medal is huge for a country that lives and dies with basketball too.
Now we know that Jokic cares about basketball.
I really wondered if we’d truly see him celebrate.
I’m not even talking about some dancing at the club with his Nuggets teammates.
I’m talking letting loose, chanting/singing for your coach and truly looking happy.
Sure, he had a triple-double today because Jokic always gets a triple-double.
But the man won a medal for his country and gets to celebrate with his boys.
That’s ultimately what it comes down to.
I know the whole Jokic bit is not caring about basketball, but this proves that’s false.
He just treats the NBA differently.
It’s not his number one concern.
He’s a country over club guy clearly.
