Nikola Jokic is definitely in a giving mood this summer.
Generous Gifts for Teammates:
EuroHoops reports that Jokic, the Denver Nuggets star, treated his Serbia teammates to some extravagant gifts after their bronze medal win at the Paris Olympics. He bought Rolex watches worth $32,500 each for all 11 of his teammates. In total, Jokic spent $357,500 on these luxury timepieces.
Serbia’s Olympic Triumph:
Serbia secured their third-ever Olympic medal in menโs basketball with a 93-83 victory over Germany in the third-place game this summer. Jokic was ecstatic after the win and became an internet sensation for his hilarious celebrations.
Jokic’s Wealth and Generosity:
The three-time NBA MVP is currently in the second year of a five-year, $276M supermax contract with the Nuggets. So while $357,500 might seem like a lot to most people, it’s just a small amount for him. Nonetheless, it’s heartwarming to see him looking out for his Serbian teammates.
Fans love how he always supports his team!
Some even speculate that one of these teammates might join him in Denver soon.
