Nikola Jokic Emotional After Major Horse Racing Victory in Serbia

Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets star, recently displayed deep emotion and joy after his horse, Demon Dell’Est, won a prestigious race in Subotica, Serbia, highlighting his passion beyond basketball. Unlike his calm demeanor when winning the 2023 NBA Finals, Jokic was seen tearing up, celebrating passionately with his horse and team, which resonated with fans and commentators alike who noted his genuine connection to horse racing. Jokic’s love for horses is well-known, rooted in his upbringing where his father runs a local harness racing club, and he often spends his NBA offseason training and caring for horses at his stable in Serbia. Despite turning down a significant contract extension, Jokic seems focused on activities that bring him happiness, such as horse racing and spending time with family, rather than solely on basketball. This emotional display has endeared him further to Nuggets fans who appreciate his unique personality and grounded approach to life and sport. Jokic is also preparing to play for Serbia in the upcoming EuroBasket tournament, continuing his strong presence in international basketball.
