I’m Sameen and I’m an NBA Primary Editor at EssentiallySports. The first game of basketball I ever saw was LeBron James’ iconic Game 6 performance vs the Boston Celtics in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals, and I instantly fell in love. To this day, that remains one of the purest basketball performances I've ever seen. From that day, I decided that LeBron James is the best player that the sport has ever seen, and every performance of his since then continues to further strengthen my belief.

As a basketball player, my biggest inspirations in-game are Stephen Curry, due to his ridiculous movement, and Kyle Korver, whose catch-and-shoot ability left me awestruck whenever I watched him play. 

When I’m not working, you can find me playing soccer, basketball, or almost any other sport. Manchester United and Ferrari are my two biggest loves, and you’ll never find me not listening to Taylor Swift.

Nikola Jokic led an amazing basketball game that shocked the NBA world. The Denver Nuggets surprised everyone by coming back from an 18-point deficit in the last quarter to beat the Golden State Warriors 130-127. The top moment was amazing, with Jokic making an awesome 39-foot shot just as the final sound in the court reverberated. JOKIC’S GAME-CHANGING 39-FOOTER TRIUMPH SPARKS FAN THEORIES Jokic, with 34 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds, etched his name in the annals of NBA history. Tying the game at 127 with a clutch jumper and sealing the deal with an audacious shot from the right sideline, he showcased a mastery of the game that transcends the ordinary. A bewildered fan on Twitter captured the essence of the moment with a humorous observation: “I was told he hates the sport; someone must’ve messed with his settings.” Kevon Looney’s hard defense did not stop “The Joker” from trying a Hail Mary. When referees looked at the video replay, everyone in the audience sighed heavily. The review just made it clearer that Jokic had done the impossible right before the last bell rang. Jokic scored the game-winning shot, then ran back to the Denver Nuggets bench where his teammates surrounded and hugged him in a big celebration. This last shot won the game at 39 feet. 

Experience the NBA magic as Nikola Jokic's 40-footer stuns the Warriors, rewriting history with an 18-point comeback.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is </b><b>Nikola Jokic</b><b>?</b></h2>
28-year-old Nikola Jokic is a Serbian big man who plays for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/denver-nuggets/">Denver Nuggets</a>. The 41st pick in the 2014 Draft is a 2x NBA MVP and 2023 NBA Champion. The father of one is also a devout horse racer, owning over a dozen horses in his home country that compete in professional races.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b> Nikola Jokic’s Early Life</b></h2>
Nikola Jokic was born on February 19, 1995, in Sombor, Serbia. The 'Joker' spent most of his early life in Serbia with his family. Nikola Jokic's father is Branislav Jokic, who is an agricultural engineer. Details about Jokic's mother are not public, so very little is known about her except that Nikola and his two older brothers were raised by their parents and their grandmother in a tiny apartment. The 2x NBA MVP started playing basketball with his brothers, Strahinja and Nemanja Jokic, at a very young age.

While Strahinja played professional basketball in Europe, Nemanja played college basketball in the US. Nikola developed a love for the game of basketball from a very young age, playing with his older brothers. After impressing many playing youth basketball, Jokic started playing in the Serbian professional league in 2012. He graduated high school, but he did not attend college.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b> Nikola Jokic’s Wife and Children</b></h2>
Jokic has been in a long-term relationship with his high school sweetheart, Natalija Jokic. Natalija played volleyball for the Florida Seminoles in 2o13. When Nikola Jokic moved to Denver in 2015, she relocated to live with him. The two later tied the knot on October 24th, 2020, in Sombor, their hometown. The couple welcomed their daughter Ognjena Jokic, in September 2021.

The Jokics are a very closely knit and can be seen courtside during most home games. The 6x NBA All-Star is a family man and has multiple practices up his sleeve to drive home the importance of family. Notably, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-basketball-news-nikola-jokics-wholesome-ritual-in-the-presence-of-his-family-vs-celtics-makes-nba-fans-suggest-hes-winning-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jokic ties his wedding ring to his sneakers while playing</a> and also has an adorable hand gesture for his daughter who is courtside which relates to one of her favorite songs.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b> Nikola Jokic’s Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
Nikola Jokic reportedly has a net worth of around $50 million. The Serbian signed a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-tennis-news-novak-djokovic-falls-thirty-one-million-short-of-fellow-serbian-star-nikola-jokic-despite-being-atps-two-thousand-twenty-three-highest-earner-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">massive $272 million contract extension</a> with the Denver Nuggets in 2022. With this improved contract, Jokic will earn around $47 million for the current season. So far, the towering center has amassed over $190 million in NBA salary. He also reportedly earns around $750,000 per year from his endorsement deals with companies like Nike, Panini, and Western Union.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Nikola Jokic's Career</b></h2>
Nikola Jokic initially started playing youth basketball with KK Vojvodina Srbijagas. As his performances improved, Jokic gained attention from some of the most popular teams in Serbia. Then in 2012, KK Mega Basket came calling and Jokic signed his first pro contract with the Belgrade-based team. However, he still mostly played for the junior team throughout the 2012-13 season to hone his skills. In the next season, Jokic received more game time from the senior team, grabbing the opportunity with both hands. In 2014, Nikola Jokic declared for the NBA draft.

The Denver Nuggets famously selected the 'Joker' as the 41st overall pick in the second round <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-nikola-jokic-draft-class-forty-players-and-a-taco-bell-commercial-overshadowed-two-time-mvps-big-night/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">during a commercial break for 'Taco Bell'</a>. The 6'11" center then returned to KK Mega Basket to continue his development. After another successful year in the Serbian League where he won the Adriatic League MVP Award, Jokic joined the Nuggets to pursue his NBA career in 2015. Jokic's versatility was evident right from the start in his rookie season.

He averaged 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game in his first season, playing 80 games and starting 55. The Nuggets' faith in the young star was also clear. Furthermore, his displays earned him a spot on the All-Rookie First Team. From there, Jokic progressed quickly, finishing his second year with 6 triple-doubles (4th highest that year) and a second place in the Most Improved Player race. The next season was when the 'Joker' established himself as a premier threat, recording the fastest triple-double in NBA history.

From 2019 onwards, Jokic has made the All-Star team for five straight years. He then became one of the best players in the league and won back-to-back NBA MVP honors in 2021 and 2022. Though he couldn't win three consecutive regular-season MVPs, Nikola Jokic compensated by winning the 2023 NBA Championship and Finals MVP Award instead. It was the Nuggets' first championship in franchise history. <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-basketball-news-hours-before-game-two-tip-off-nikola-jokic-eyes-a-thirty-nine-year-long-nba-finals-record-last-held-by-magic-johnson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">He became only the second player to post a triple-double on his NBA Finals debut</a>. Jokic is also leading the MVP race for the 2023-24 season while breaking into the top 4 on the list of career NBA triple-doubles.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nikola Jokic’s Contracts </b></h2>
Upon his entry to the league, the second-rounder signed a 3-year $4.1 million contract. In 2018, the Denver Nuggets signed Nikola Jokic to a five-year contract extension worth $147 million. During the same, he would win back-to-back regular season MVP Awards and help the team to the Western Conference Finals. He then signed an impressive five-year $272 million contract extension in 2022, which was the most expensive deal at the time it was signed. The much-improved package is expected to earn him an average annual salary of $54 million until 2028, with the last year featuring a player option. In total, including his incentives, the 9-season NBA center has earned $198,124,795 through his contracts.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nikola Jokic’s Partnerships and Endorsements</b></h2>
Nikola Jokic has secured endorsement deals with major brands such as Nike, Western Union, Somborac, Panini and 361 Degrees. Even though Jokic has been arguably the best player in the league winning two straight NBA MVP awards, he is yet to have his own signature shoe. Late in 2023, the Serbian star didn't extend his Nike contract and instead signed with Chinese shoe company 361 Degrees. He has also featured in recent ads for 'Hotels.com' alongside his teammate Peyton Watson and his former NBA Finals opponent, Jimmy Butler.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b> Nikola Jokic’s Investments</b></h2>
Nikola Jokic invested over $3 million in NFTs. However, the investment didn't pay dividends as their value has plummeted by over 70%. Apart from cryptocurrency, Jokic has also invested in real estate. The 2023 NBA Finals MVP purchased 3 homes for an estimated $12 million, choosing to lease out two of them.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Nikola Jokic's Charity and Foundation</b></h2>
Nikola Jokic is generous in giving back to the community. His latest act of philanthropy was reportedly for the LuBird's Light Foundation. In 2019, Jokic and Jamal Murray attended a charity ping pong event to raise funds for building accessible playgrounds through the LuBird Foundation. He also made a significant donation to a medical center in his hometown, Sombor to help fight against the coronavirus.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nikola Jokic’s Shoe Deal</b></h2>
Nike signed Nikola Jokic in 2015 but never created a signature line for the 2x NBA MVP. He wore different sneakers like the Hyperdunk, Zoom Rize and the Nike Air Zoom G.T. Jumps during his stint with Nike. However, in December 2023, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-ditching-nike-nikola-jokic-follows-aaron-gordon-into-nine-hundred-ninety-million-worth-chinese-brand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the 'Joker' signed a multi-year deal with Chinese footwear brand 361 Degrees</a>. The 21-year-old company has already begun work on Jokic's first signature shoe. In the meantime, the Denver Nuggets star has been taking to the court in the Big3 Future High.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Nikola Jokic's H</b><b>ouse</b></h2>
Nikola Jokic reportedly owns a $2.4 million mansion in Denver, Colorado. The Serbian purchased the property in 2019 after signing his lucrative contract extension in 2018.  In late 2021, Jokic also purchased a 12,271-square-foot mansion in Cherry Hills, Colorado for $4.5 million. The property includes a 12-seat home theater, a pool house, a gym, and guest apartments. The Joker has also been building a house across 5 plots of land in his native Sombor, Serbia. After signing in the NBA, Jokic also purchased his first expensive horse. By 2024, he owns over a dozen horses that are competing across Europe through Jokic's stable.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b> Nikola Jokic’s Rings</b></h2>
Nikola Jokic led the Denver Nuggets to their first NBA championship in the 2022-23 season. In a 5 game series against the Miami Heat, the 'Joker' averaged 30.2 points, 14.0 rebounds and 7.2 assists to win his first and only NBA ring. He was also awarded the Finals MVP trophy for his historic performance. Jokic tallied at least a double-double in each of the 5 games and recorded 2 triple-doubles during his first NBA Finals series.
