WATCH: Nikola Jokic's Horse Wins Massive Race
Denver Nuggets superstar and 2023 NBA Finals MVP Nikola Jokic simply cannot stop winning. After bringing the Nuggets their first championship in franchise history, Jokic has returned home to Serbia where he participates in horse racing. While this is one of Jokic's hobbies, it's also something he is very competitive about. In a recent video that has surfaced on Twitter, Jokic's horse could be seen winning a massive race in Sombor, Serbia:
As noted by Nuggets reporter Harrison Wind, who shared the video on Twitter, Jokic's teammate Aaron Gordon was in attendance for the big race. It had previously been reported that Gordon was expected to attend, and it looks as if he was indeed able to make it out to support his teammate.
It's great to see Jokic continuing to thrive in the offseason, because he certainly deserves time to enjoy his other interests after such a dominant and taxing playoff run. The last two teams standing are always exhausted by the time the NBA Finals conclude, and this was even more pronounced for Jokic, as the Nuggets star takes a lot of physicality throughout the course of each game.
Opting not to play in FIBA World Cup action in order to rest and recover for the upcoming NBA season, Jokic has used this summer to celebrate the championship, spend time with family and friends, and of course win horse races.
