WATCH: Rare Video of Nikola Jokic's Horse Race
Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic is not only the reigning Finals MVP, but he's also a horse racing champion as well. Jokic spoke about this hobby last season when asked what he was planning to do in between the Western Conference Finals and NBA Finals, telling reporters that he planned to attend his his friend's horse race.
Now having the time to compete with his own horses, Jokic has already won races this summer, and a recent video surfaced of his horse taking first:
It has been a summer of celebration for Jokic, who kicked off his offseason with the championship parade, and has brought that celebration back home to Serbia where he spends his most of time away from Denver. Opting not to compete in the 2023 FIBA World Cup, Jokic will be prioritizing family, rest, and other hobbies this summer as he recovers from what was one of the most dominant postseason runs in NBA history.
Jokic and the Nuggets are widely expected to be right back in the mix next season as championship favorites, largely because of what the Finals MVP brings to the table. Proving to be one of the game's most unstoppable forces, Jokic brought Denver their first championship in franchise history, and has spent the summer celebrating properly. Also a horse racing champion, Jokic cannot stop winning.
