NBA Superstar Nikola Jokic's Passion for Harness Horses

Nikola Jokic is one of the most famous (and most successful) NBA players of all time...but to those who know him best, it’s clear that his one TRUE love is his harness horses (and harness racing, in general). Teammate Aaron Gordon sees it like this: “I think he appreciates how beautiful they are. There’s something majestic, and there’s something really genuine and pure about horses in general. I think it brings him a certain level of peace, and that’s priceless.”

Please read this outstanding front page NY Times article, discussing Jokic’ passion, and painting a beautiful picture of the NBA superstar who is still seen back home in Serbia as the young stable boy they grew up with!

(And as you can see from the picture, Jokic is no stranger to Yonkers Raceway – pictured here with our own George Brennan and Scott Di Domenico!)
