Just 15 hours after displaying the drunkest medal acceptance in Olympic history Nikola Jokic was back with a beer in his hand for what’s really important in life, and that is horse racing of course.
But this deserves a detailed breakdown.
The Serbian team started celebrating their bronze medal immediately after beating Germany.
They couldn’t care less who wins the gold, and it all started on the team bus on the way to the pub.
Nikola and the guys are singing to their head coach Svetislav Pesic who’s nickname is KARI.
Nothing to do with Steph Curry, who admittedly was on fire against them.
This is an old bit that they’ve been doing for the past few years of international play.
But the real fun started once the Serbian team found a traditional pub in the middle of Paris.
And things started escalating.
Shirtless Nikola’s front and center here yelling out the lyrics.
The chorus of this song translated literally means: “America be damned and its shining gold"
This is ofcourse not a diss track to LeBron and the US basketball team, it’s an old serbian song about people leaving their families to work abroad and provide for them.
But in this situation it does serve as a double entendre and fits perfectly as you can clearly see that they don’t need the gold medal to be happy.
Both Jokic and Bogdanovic are already lit here and everyone is going crazy. I’m positive that Nikola was nowhere near this animated when he won the championship with the Nuggets.
Mind you their game ended at 1pm, and the medal ceremony was at around midnight local time, so they had the entire day to drink, party and celebrate. And this is the result of that.
They have a hard time keeping it together here. Jokic is half asleep as he’s being yanked all over the place by his teammate.
Bogdanovic completely disregards this guy who turned out to be the president of Fiba congratulating him. It was chaos all around. But of course all in good spirit so I loved it.
And as I said at the beginning, right after the medal ceremony, Jokic flew straight back to his hometown of Sombor, to watch his horses racing.
Everyone was congratulating him on the bronze medal but Nikola was focused on winning the gold this time.
And that’s exactly what happened as his horses won 2 races, with 1 of them even setting a new track record.
So yeah these few days have been all about celebration and relaxation. Hopefully he won’t overdo it with the beers and stays in shape.
Speaking of staying in shape however, my last video exposes the 7 NBA players who basically ate their way out of the NBA. You gotta check out this video right here. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
