That first photo of a tten Nikola Jokic posing for a family picture with no shirt on has been used to mok the Denver Nuggets cener for many years. But it also encompasses the type of person Jokic has been throughout his entire life. In that image, many regular kids saw themselves in Jokic and that's one of the main reason people like him so much. But Denver Nuggets fans will go nut over the most recent picture of a young Jokic went viral. He was much younger in this one and he was wearing something on the top. A picture from 23 years ago shows a toddler Nikola Jokic wearing a Denver Nuggets sweat shirt. It is still unknown if he knew what he was wearing back then but the entire world knows today.
But what is is about Nikola Jokic that strikes differently to every single person who comes across him? The reality is that at first glace, people dismissed Jokic simply by his looks. A tall Serbian player is usually not legendary-status quality, especially due to the personality he has. His response after being informed the Nuggets still had a parade to celebrate perfectly describes how many of us don't like to socialize with the masses and we rather stay at home than be at an event of that nature. Even though Jokic knows he needs to attend, we all understand where he is coming from when he said he wanted to go back home. When he talks about his home, he means his hometown Sombor in Serbia.
Can Nikola Jokic reach the levels of other big men in NBA history?
NBA Centers dominating the league are not as common as one would think, Jokic was just added to an exclusive list of names. These include the likes of Kareem-Abdul Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Hakeen Olajuwon, Yao Ming, and Shaquille O'Neal. Career-wise, Jokic has realistically surpassed the achievements of only a couple of those players. He still has a long way to go in order to see if he can even get close to any of them. At 28 years of age, he still has enough time to get a little closer to the majority of them. Watching his career from this moment forward will be quite interesting for that fact alone.
