Nikola Jokic was initially hesitant about attending the Denver Nuggets’ championship parade as he wanted to return to Serbia to watch his horses race. However, Bruce Brown had other plans to ensure “The Joker” remained in Denver for as long as possible.
Bruce Brown’s plan
During his appearance on the Tidal League podcast, Brown revealed his scheme to keep Jokic in town. Brown made it clear that he wanted Jokic to remain in Denver and celebrate the championship parade with the team, rather than leaving for Serbia to watch his horses race.
Jokic’s love for horses
Jokic’s passion for horse racing is well-known, and it’s unsurprising that he would prioritize attending their races in his home country. As much as he is dedicated to basketball, Jokic has always made time for his love of horses, and this instance was no exception.
In the end, it remains to be seen how long Jokic will stay in Denver for the championship celebration and whether Brown’s plan would be successful in keeping him around. Regardless, it’s clear that Jokic’s dedication to his team and his passions outside of basketball make him a unique and remarkable player in the NBA.
