Nikola Joki is having fun beyond the court with Luka Doni, his most likely best friend and a basketball player who does not play in Denver. On Instagram, arko Drakovi, an American real estate agent, posted a photo of Joki taking a “selfie,” with Joki, Slovenian Vlatko Anar, Joki’s wife Natalija, and his middle brother Nemanja Joki in the background…

The Jokis’ family glory is St. Nicholas, as seen by the portrait and the icon exhibited at Nikola’s home by the table. Given that Doncic is playing against Cleveland in Dallas on Wednesday and Thursday, and that he was in Arizona on Tuesday morning, where he defeated Phoenix again, it’s safe to assume that this shot was taken last week, when Denver was on St. trounced Dallas 130:103 in Denver. Someone was drinking wine, and there was food available… These types of gatherings are not uncommon among the two finest basketball players from the Ex-Yu area.

It’s worth noting that Joki disclosed that he spent Saint Nicholas Day this year at the home of Darko Rajakovi, Toronto’s Serbian coach. “We were at his house,” Nikola stated, according to American media. Nikola and Luka are plainly and tastefully hanging out outside the pitch while they are playing brilliantly. Interestingly, they arrived at their teams’ games together:

Although their paths did not intersect in Europe, and Nikola (28) arrived in America three years before Luka (24), it is clear that throughout their time together in the United States of America, they developed a strong bond that they display both on and off the pitch.
