Serbian basketball sensation Nikola Jokic has once again captured the hearts of his homeland, this time not with his exceptional skills on the court, but by showcasing his passion for horse racing. In a stunning turn of events, Jokic, fresh off winning a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics, achieved another milestone as his prized horse, Brenno Laumar, triumphed in the biggest race in his hometown.
As the race unfolded, Jokic’s horse showcased incredible speed and agility, leaving their competitors trailing behind. The horse displayed remarkable teamwork and synchronization, a true testament to the bond that Jokic had forged with his equine companion.
The three-time NBA MVP was spotted enjoying a nice, relaxing day at the track in his hometown of Sombor where his horse Brenno Laumar was ultimately victorious.
Jokic and his teammates received a hero’s welcome for bringing home a medal for the first time since the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, according to NBA.com. That team was awarded the silver following their 96-66 loss to the United States in the gold medal game. A visibly happy Jokic was serenaded with “MVP” chants as he acknowledged the large group of supporters in attendance.
Many have noticed that Jokic has appeared more enthusiastic about receiving a bronze medal for Serbia than winning a championship with the Nuggets last year.
What can you say, Jokic loves horse racing more than his job, which just so happens to be playing in the NBA.
From the basketball court to the racetrack, Jokic continues to defy expectations and inspire generations with his extraordinary talent and humility. The world eagerly awaits to see what the future holds for this remarkable athlete, whose indomitable spirit knows no bounds.
