Having spent most of his offseason in Serbia, Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic is back in the United States. Recently running into talk show host Colin Cowherd, Jokic took a picture with him that has been going viral on social media:

The picture was uploaded on Wednesday morning, and has already accumulated over 1.4M views. Any Jokic offseason content always does well on social media, especially since the Finals MVP is not active online himself. Most of Jokic's public appearances this offseason have been documented by fans on social media, including his championship celebration parties, horse races, pickup basketball games, and now his first sighting back in the United States.

As previously mentioned, Jokic usually spends most of his summer outside of the United States. Joking with the media after winning the title, Jokic said he needed to go home to Serbia instead of attending the championship parade. Jokic of course ended up attending the parade and having a great time, but he did head back home shortly after the festivities ended.

It's unclear what Jokic is doing back in the United States, but it is getting close to the time when NBA teams start getting together for workouts in preparation for training camp and the preseason. For Jokic and the Nuggets, their offseason will be in preparation to defend their first title in franchise history.
