If he wins, he will get his 100th career title and write history again. However, it follows everything related to sport, especially with Serbian athletes. Thus, on the Instagram profile, an interesting post appeared.
Novak Djokovic and Nikola Jokic, the two “jokers” that Serbia is so proud, are the best in the sports they practice. First in tennis, second in basketball.
Both were often subjected to injustices, and the most recent, which is much talked about, is the NBA decision to give the title of MVP to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the basketball player of Oklahoma City Thunder, and not to Nikola Jokic, the basketball player of the Denver Nuggets team, according to Sportal.rs.rs.
Djokovic jumped in the defense of the Nikola Jokic County
Novak Djokovic, known as a person who follows everything, especially everything related to Serbian athletes, reacted with an interesting Instagram post, about Jokic, Gilgeous-Alexander and the NBA MVP award race.
In the photo published, in the foreground are the Serb and the Canadian running. The first arrives Gilgeous-Alexander, with the trophy in hand, while Jokic continues to run. If you look more closely at the photo, he runs after the Goat distinction.
Novak Djokovic's message on Instagram
The message of the former world leader is clear: Nikola does not run after prizes, but by the legacy he will leave for eternity in his sport.
The best tennis player of all time, Novak, knows that and wanted to send this message to Nikola – the best run to history, not to ephemeral prizes. Djokovic also told Denver Nuggets for social networks that the Serbian people are proud of another excellent season of Jokic.
