Nikola Jokic is more than just a one-trick pony. The Denver Nuggets star is staying in shape this offseason by dabbling in a different sport.
A video posted on social media Saturday showed Jokic having some summertime fun at what appears to be a public pool. The Joker was rocking a red pair of swimming trunks, playing what appeared to be a version of volleyball being played with feet instead of hands.
“Jokic is taking a break from basketball,” the post’s caption read, translated from Serbian via Google.

Jokic looked as comfortable as ever playing doubles in the unique sport. He used his size to his advantage, scoring a point by blocking a return with his big body. Even in a completely different game, the three-time NBA MVP remained as nonchalant as ever.
Nuggets fans were loving it. Many of them expressed how happy they were to see the Serbian superstar living his best life in the offseason.
How can anyone not like this guy?

Jokic is widely considered the best player in today’s NBA. He’s just a month removed from making some brutally honest comments about the Nuggets’ tough season.
But whenever he leaves the United States in the offseason, his interests and hobbies extend far beyond the confines of the hardwood floor.
Jokic similarly went viral last season for looking like a completely normal guy while watching a horse race in his hometown of Sombor.
