- Another game, another Triple-Double! The reigning MVP is of course leading the league with 18 Triple-Doubles this season, but it gets even more impressive. Nikola now has 75 in his career, just three away from tying Wilt Chamberlain for most all-time by a Center!
- Ring around the shoelace! It’s not too often we see NBA players wear jewelry on the court, but if you look close enough, you’ll see that Nikola does. He actually wears his wedding band laced onto his sneakers every single game!
- He LOVES horses! Nikola grew up around harness racing in Serbia, and briefly quit basketball because he wanted to race horses. Now, Nikola owns a few racehorses of his own, and to this day, loves the feeling of being around those “magnificent creatures”!
- Enter “The Joker”. Legend has it, Nikola was given his iconic nickname by former teammate Mike Miller because he couldn’t pronounce his last name. Nikola actually loves the nickname since the Joker can surprise, outsmart, and beat anyone!
- Valentine’s Day is NOT his scene! During a special Valentine’s segment at Ball Arena, Nikola revealed that he actually hates the holiday, but the reason is really sweet. He says it’s because love is an everyday thing, not just a one day thing!
