New NBA champion Nikola Jokic, who in his down time is just a family man tending to horses in Serbia, is set to delay his return home due to the Denver Nuggets' title parade.
NBA Finals MVP Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets finished the job, and his preference would be to return to Serbia and celebrate in his hometown of Sombor.
Asked after a Game 5 and Finals victory on Monday night if he was looking forward to the parade, Jokic replied with a question.“No, I need to go home,” said Jokic, who told media before Game 5 he was most looking forward buying another horse. “There is a bunch of things that I like, that I like to do. Probably that’s a normal thing. Nobody likes his job, or maybe they do. They’re lying.”
