If the 2022-23 season has taught fans anything, it’s that Nikola Jokic plays basketball for fun. From having almost zero reaction to winning the league to wanting to skip the victory parade, the Serbian center isn’t your average NBA player. Having won his first ever championship earlier this year Jokic continues to grow as a star year by year as does his impressive resume. Having changed the way centers are viewed in today’s game, the Joker is quite literally a trendsetter. While he has been recognized by many as a basketball genius it is his personal life that has garnered the attention of many this off season.
From racing horses to hanging out with teammate Aaron Gordon in Serbia, the big man has shown a very different side to him this season. Fans have been treated to his many off court activities on social media including a clip of him dancing in a night club to a Serbian tune. 7x NBA champion and Los Angeles Lakers icon, Robert Horry recently spoke on this as he even mentioned Jokic’s tall guy privileges when discussing his dance moves.

On a recent episode of the podcast Big Shot Bob Robert Horry, alongside co-host Rob Jenners got into a discussion around Nikola Jokic as the two discussed his Serbian nightclub shenanigans. Questioning Robert if he had seen the clip Jenners can be heard asking him, “Did you see Jokic at the night club this week?”
Not waiting for a response, the co-host went on to explain how the clip was all over social media as he elaborated the details of the video. Revealing that Jokic was basically dancing in a corner of a Serbian nightclub the producer stated, “He is in a corner jamming.”
Continuing to dissect the Joker’s recent clip Rob then went onto play the audio he was dancing to as he stated, “Nothing about this scream’s ‘get up with a drink in your hand and dance to me,’ but here he goes.”
Horry then replied with an answer of his own as he stated, “Well it depends on person to person.”
While Jokic’s stiff movements and little footwork led Rob Jenners to describe his dance as a “hardcore white guy dance,” the statement led the group to their next topic as the Atlanta native questioned, “How hard is it for tall guys to dance? I’mma call out your tall privilege.”

Responding with a meek laughter Horry then went on to state, “You know it isn’t that hard.” Further explaining his point, the 7x NBA champion revealed that tall people could dance but needed to be compact and couldn’t move their arms as much.
Putting it into his own words he said, “You cannot do that as a tall person, you may hit like six to seven people if you stick your arms out.”
