Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was a recent guest on a Serbian basketball podcast called X’s and O’s Chat. Among many topics discussed was if Jokic could ever see himself playing for another NBA team besides the Nuggets. The superstar center made it clear that’s nothing something he can see happening.
“I wouldn’t like to imagine that. Even if we never win anything else after this, an organic title, it means more to me than anything,” Jokic said.
“I really found peace here. My two kids were born here. Everyone’s here. Peace, home, I found my life here. And I like life here. I don’t feel the need, I don’t have the urge to. We built something here, together as a team.”
Jokic also said that he can’t see himself playing for a professional team in Europe, despite his respect for European basketball.
