Nikola Jokic is a great basketball player, there is no argument about that, after all he is an NBA champion and even won the Most Outstanding Player award two years in a row. But besides basketball, "The Joker" has another hobby, horse racing, and even owns several racehorses on a farm in his hometown of Sambor. Already before last season's finals, the Serbian star announced that he would buy a new horse - regardless of whether he won or lost.
On Sunday this week, Jokic participated in a local competition - and won. Also in attendance was teammate Aaron Gordon, who immediately posted the trophy on Instagram saying, "Dude, you can't lose."
"Bro really can't stop winning 🏆 😂"

This isn't the first time we've been exposed to the actor's fondness for horses, the actor's father has even said in the past that young Nicolas should have been persuaded to invest in basketball rather than horseback riding. Last summer, Jokic won the MVP award while riding a carriage.
The star of the Serbian national team decided to use the summer to rest and recover and announced that he will not join the Serbian national team in the upcoming World Championship, joining many stars who will not participate in the tournament such as Giannis Antetokounmpo, Vasilia Micic, Kristap Prozingis and more.
