The Denver Nuggets have one of the most unique players in NBA history.
Nikola Jokic is one of a kind, and not just because of his unique skill set and the way he controls the pace of the game but also because of his personality.
The Serbian big man is a humble, down-to-earth kind of guy who oftentimes feels like he deals with being an NBA player as just a 9-5 job.
He loves horses, as he showed by making a surprise appearance at the Yonkers Raceway in New York to watch some horse racing (via Yonkers Raceway and ClutchPoints).

Notably, the superstar big man went viral for his horses a couple of seasons ago.
He just can’t wait for a second after the NBA season is over before packing his bags and leaving to go be with his horses in his hometown, and you can tell he’s truly passionate about that, maybe even more than about basketball.
Imagine being one of the greatest basketball players on Earth and not even caring that much about it.
Jokic has become one of the faces of the league and global basketball, but it seems like he won’t stay close to the game once he’s ready to call it quits and walk away from the NBA.
Instead, he’ll just disappear into the woods and enjoy life as a simple man who loves horses.
But in the meantime, he’ll continue putting up triple-doubles and beating the best teams in the league on a nightly basis.
