The two older Jokics brothers, about whom Index has already written, are well-known in basketball circles. They are famous for always standing up for their younger brother, Nikola, who happens to be the best basketball player in the world, a two-time MVP in the NBA, and will soon receive the award for the most valuable player of the regular season for the third time.
Now, Strahinja and Nemanja will never let their 211 cm and 129 kg little brother, the star of the Denver Nuggets, be hurt. Neither physically nor verbally. They are always there in the auditorium, and if there is a problem, they would threaten Nikola online, they do not hesitate to intervene. After all, in Zombor, where the Jokicses are from, family is a sacred thing.
It has already happened in the past, when a fight broke out on the dance floor, and the Strahinjás felt their younger brother’s physical integrity was in danger, and immediately stood up for the “little one”. Like in this game against the Phoenix Suns, when Nikola had a disagreement with Devin Booker.
Strahinja and Nemanja did not hesitate, they were ready to rush onto the field and defend their younger brother against Booker, who was two heads shorter and thirty kilos lighter…
The Jokics clan from Zombor is a formidable team, as can be seen in this family photo. Strahinja is the fourth from the left.
Nikola was once asked if he was afraid of anyone on the basketball court. The player replied:
Why would I keep it? We just play on the field. Besides, there’s only one person on Earth I’m afraid of, and that’s Strahinja, my brother.
Now, after Monday night’s 101-99 win over the Los Angeles Lakers at Ball Arena in Denver, a spectator probably said something Strahinja didn’t like.
It is possible that the person scolded Nikola or made a comment about the player’s wife. Anyway, the two Jokics brothers started, and if they start, no concrete wall can stop them.
The unfortunate tying man also received a straight jab from Strahin, whom Jokic’s wife, with her little child in her arms, tried hopelessly to stop.
The incident will likely result in legal proceedings, as the NBA has initiated an investigation into the disturbance based on the video recording.
