Why fans think Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic would make a perfect NBA pair

As the season hasn’t started yet, Luka Dončić and Nikola Jokić seem to be enjoying their time back in their home countries. Luka is taking pleasure in farm life, while Jokić is immersing himself in the world of horses and ranches. A recent video of Luka sparked some fan excitement, with one noting, “Luka and Jokic haven’t been this happy since the season started.” Though Jokić isn’t in the video, it’s well-known how much he loves spending time around horses, just as Luka enjoys farm life.

Another fan wrote, “Nikola Jokic will be proud of you,” hinting at how much Jokic would appreciate the idea of spending time at the farm. Jokic is known for his low-key lifestyle—he doesn’t have social media, and Luka Dončić has mentioned this before. “Jokic doesn’t have Instagram or anything; he’s just a different guy. He loves his horses. I tried to convince him to join Instagram, but he said, ‘No, no chance,’” Luka said. Given Jokic’s preference for privacy and his love for nature, he’d likely be pleased to see Luka enjoying the tranquility of the countryside.

One fan joked, “Jokic told Luka this is how you get the people to leave you alone go home,” implying that retreating to a quiet, private place like a farm is the best way to avoid attention and stay out of the spotlight. Maybe Luka Dončić is starting to enjoy this idea too; hanging out with Jokic seems to have influenced him, and who doesn’t love some peace?
