[Saba Sports News] Nikola Jokic continues to show he’s no one-sport wonder. The Denver Nuggets superstar is keeping active this offseason by trying his hand (or rather, his feet) at a different game.
A video surfaced on social media Saturday showing Jokic enjoying some downtime at what appears to be a public pool. Wearing bright red swim trunks, the three-time NBA MVP was seen playing a variation of volleyball — but using feet instead of hands.
The translated caption from Serbian read, “Jokic is taking a break from basketball.” And while he’s stepping away from the court, he’s still dominating in his own casual way. Jokic looked right at home in the doubles match, even scoring a point by blocking a shot with his size — a reminder that his instincts and footwork translate well, even outside basketball.
Nuggets fans were loving the clip. Many shared their joy at seeing Jokic unwind and enjoy himself back in Serbia, embracing a laid-back lifestyle far from the NBA spotlight.
Just weeks ago, Jokic made headlines for his blunt assessment of the Nuggets’ difficult season. But each offseason, he reminds fans that his world doesn’t revolve around basketball. Last year, he went viral for looking like an everyday guy at a horse race in his hometown of Sombor.
Whether it’s horses, water sports, or a new take on volleyball, Jokic continues to win — and fans can’t get enough.
