[Saba Sports News] There are only three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Nikola Jokic returning to Serbia for horse racing.
After leading Serbia to a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics—dominating in every statistical category and nearly upsetting Team USA—Jokic earned some well-deserved downtime. The three-time NBA MVP went viral on social media for his appearance at the local horse racing track in his hometown of Sombor, Serbia.
Jokic, in a plain white tank top with a Heineken in hand, took his seat to watch the Trotting Derby. Despite his low-key look, all eyes in the stands were on the 6’11” giant.
Serbia may not have won gold or silver, but Jokic seemed content with a podium finish alongside his countrymen. With the NBA season still a couple of months away, Jokic has plenty of time to enjoy beers and his beloved horses.
