Jokic: “I don’t like being famous – When I retire I hope nobody knows me”

It is known that the Nikola Jokic he is not the most ordinary star.

From his… sulupi to his eccentric persona, the Serb center has set out to dispel any “myths” about what it takes to master the basketballbut also about how a sports star should behave.

However, “Joker” does not seem to love this condition. Equally, speaking on his teammate’s podcast Michael Porter Jrhe emphasized that there are many aspects of popularity that he does not like at all, while he wished that when he retires everyone would forget about him.

In detail what he said:

“If you go out and do anything, even if you throw something by the trash can, they’ll say, ‘Oh, he can’t even put that in a trash can.’ People do a lot of little things like that and it’s just sad every time you go to the bar, to the restaurant, to a game, and people just pull out their phones and try to videotape you. I will say that is rude.

Being famous, I think some people like it. I don’t like it, really. When I’m done with my career, I really hope nobody knows me, and I really hope my child or children in the future only remember me as a dad, not a basketball player.”
