So it ought to no longer come as a first-rate surprise that his put up-career plans involve horses.
“My dream is to race assist to Serbia and turned into a trotting coach after my basketball career,” he told TV4’s Peter Andersson (h/t Johnny Askounis of Eurohoops.acquire). “My nation is, unfortunately, the worst in Europe on trotting and there are presumably 150 initiating horses, and it is very refined to begin in a foreign nation. Nevertheless it is serene powerful fun.”
Jokic also reportedly used to be at Elitloppet over the weekend, Sweden’s properly-known harness-racing tournament.
If he’s as precise a trotting coach as he’s an NBA heart, Jokic’s 2d act will be reasonably impressive.
