Nuggets Fans Enjoy Seeing Nikola Jokic Explore a New Sport During the Offseason
Nikola Jokic is proving he’s not limited to basketball. The Denver Nuggets star is staying active during the offseason by engaging in another athletic pursuit.
A video recently shared on social media shows Jokic enjoying himself at what appears to be a local public swimming pool. Dressed in red swim trunks, he was seen playing a variation of volleyball—except this version was played with feet instead of hands.
The caption of the video, translated from Serbian via Google, read, “Jokic is taking a break from basketball.”
Even away from the court, Jokic showcased his athleticism. He appeared relaxed and confident while playing the doubles match, using his size to his advantage to block a return and score a point. The three-time NBA MVP carried the same laid-back demeanor fans have come to know and love, even in this unconventional sport.
Denver Nuggets fans were thrilled to see their favorite player enjoying his time off and expressed joy on social media, happy to witness him living his best life outside of basketball.
Widely regarded as the top player in the NBA today, Jokic is only weeks removed from making candid remarks about Denver’s difficult season. Still, when he returns home during the offseason, his focus often shifts to personal passions beyond basketball.
Just like last year, when he went viral for casually watching a horse race in his hometown of Sombor, Jokic once again reminded fans of his down-to-earth nature and diverse interests.
