Nikola Jokic is one of the NBA’s few relatable superstars. While his basketball abilities are only known to a select few, his stance toward contemporary fashion in the league is shared by many.

Charles Barkley is undoubtedly one of them, and Jokic expressed his dislike for some of his colleagues’ and contemporaries’ unconventional clothes before stating his preference for a more traditional look.

Speaking with Barkley and the NBA on TNT team after the game on Tuesday, the Serbian phenom was complemented on his suit before revealing why he chose the elegant pale blue turtleneck, which was perfectly combined with a navy and maroon checkered suit.

‘We saw you come in tonight, dude; you were fly tonight. You looked good walking in there tonight. ‘You must have huge plans for after the game,’ Barkley joked.

‘No, to be honest, I started doing it this season and I think it’s a good way to express oneself,’ Jokic explained.

‘I just don’t like the way the guys dress up for games. Wearing a suit denotes business, that I’m here to perform my job.’

Some NBA players are known almost as much for their fashion interests and looks as they are for their on-court performance. Russell Westbrook and Kyle Kuzma are frequent leaders.

Jokic most certainly clocked in against the Memphis Grizzlies, as Denver won convincingly, 105-91.

In a full performance, the reigning back-to-back MVP posted another triple-double, scoring 13 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, and dishing out 13 assists.

It was the Serbian’s 82nd triple-double of his career, more than any other center in NBA history.
