Obsessing Over Favorite Pastime, Nikola Jokic Reveals “Secret Goal” After Bidding Farewell to Basketball Career

Nikola Jokic has cemented himself as one of the Greatest NBA Centers of all time. He has accomplished everything there is in the sport. Jokic is a 2-time regular season MVP and a Finals MVP. He also led the Denver Nuggets to their first-ever Championship last season. Despite being arguably the best player in the NBA right now and a multi-millionaire, the Joker does not aspire to have a life of fame after basketball.

The Denver Nuggets superstar revealed his “secret goal” when he bids farewell to his Hall of Fame NBA career.

Nikola Jokić might enter a new profession after retiring from the NBA

Nikola Jokić was a guest on the Curious Mike Podcast hosted by his Denver Nuggets teammate Michael Porter Jr. During the interview, Jokic revealed what he wanted his life after NBA retirement to look like. He said that he wants to spend more time with his family and the rest of his day with his horses. The Joker also revealed his secret goal of possibly getting into a new profession, “Maybe race. Actually, that is kind of my secret goal, to be a driver.” So, we might see the 2-time MVP on the racetrack someday.

It is evident from Jokic’s response that he does not obsess about basketball during his off time. We also saw that from his reaction after winning the Championship last season. Nikola Jokić and Co. beat the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals to win the franchise’s first Championship.

But the Joker was not thrilled to find out that he had to stay extra days for the Championship parade in Denver after winning his first ring. He just wanted to fly to Serbia to spend time with his family.

Nikola Jokić might be this era’s Tim Duncan

Despite being the leader of a Championship team, Nikola Jokić has a very low-key personality off the court. He likes to keep his personal life private and does not like extra attention from the fans and the media. Jokic might be the modern era’s Tim Duncan. The San Antonio Spurs superstar had a similar personality during his prime. Duncan was a 5-time Champion and a 3-time Finals MVP. He is arguably the Greatest Power Forward in NBA history. But Duncan was one of the humblest superstars of his era and never let fame get to his head.

Tim Duncan hardly ever makes a public appearance after his NBA retirement. That might be what Nikola Jokić’s future will look like. He would love to stay off the grid and enjoy his life after basketball with no attention from the media. So, the NBA World should soak in all that he is delivering on the court right now.
