Nikola Jokić is in full offseason mode at home in Serbia, and Denver Nuggets teammate Aaron Gordon joined him for a day at the racetrack that has the internet in stitches.
Last year, Gordon tracked down Jokić in Prague while the two-time MVP was playing with the Serbian national team. This time, Gordon took teammate goals to a new level, showing up in Serbia to watch horse racing with Jokić.
Jokić certainly appeared to be in offseason mode, rolling in on a bicycle in a tank top and shorts to watch the races with Gordon. The two seemed to have plenty of fun cheering on Jokić’s horses.
Here’s the viral video.

It was a good day for Jokić’s stable: His top trotter, Brenno Laumar, won for the fifth time in seven races, and the Nuggets' duo loved it. The video was the perfect encapsulation of Gordon and Jokić’s unlikely friendship.

AG: "Nikola Jokic is a great guy, and I will only be part of an organization that he's a part of... Let me repeat that - Nikola Jokic is a great guy, and I will only be part of an organization that he's a part of" https://t.co/xYyFEfTOjg

If only every star’s offseason was as drama-free as The Joker’s.
