Nikola Jokic Nikola Jokić is a Serbian professional basketball player for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association who plays the center position.
He was only signed in 2015, despite the fact that he was picked up by the team in 2014. He made the NBA All-Rookie First Team and placed third in the Rookie of the Year vote as he began his career.
At the center, his passing and playmaking made him an interesting potential. As a result of his continued improvement, he was voted the second-most improved player in 2017.
For the first time since 2013, he nearly led the Nuggets to the playoffs in 2018, but they lost out to the Minnesota Timberwolves by a slim margin.
Joki signed a $148 million maximum contract extension prior to the 2018-2019 NBA season. After the team’s faith in him, he earned NBA All-Star and All-NBA Team honors for the first time ever.
He and Jamal Murray guided the squad to their first conference finals since Melo was a member of the team in 2009 during the 2019-2020 season.
Meet Nikola Jokić Father Branislav Jokić
Nikola Jokic was born to Brainslav Jokic. His father Branislav Jokic was an agricultural engineer. The same can be said about basketball, which he must have become interested in as well.
As far as I can tell, it appears that his father was the first one who sparked his interest in this sport.
