On a recent Sunday, Nikola Jokic found a new reason to celebrate, though it had nothing to do with his usual basketball exploits with the Denver Nuggets.

Known for his love of horseracing perhaps even more than basketball, Jokic was visibly overjoyed when one of his horses won a race in Serbia, his homeland. Overcome with emotion, he shed tears and then proceeded to the racetrack to celebrate, popping champagne in jubilation.

Jokic attended the 2025 Dužijanac, a notable annual horseracing event at the Hippodrome in Subotica, Serbia. His horse, named Demon Dell’Est, clinched the top honors, sparking a wave of emotion from the seven-time NBA All-Star.

The emotional display Jokic exhibited after his horse’s victory was significantly more intense than his reactions to winning NBA championships. Despite his three MVP titles and an NBA Finals MVP award, his deep connection with his horses evidently brings him profound emotional fulfillment, as seen in his ecstatic response to the race.
