Nikola Jokic, known for his laid-back and humorous personality, recently made a lighthearted comment about the possibility of Laker fans booing him.

While he acknowledged that it’s all part of the game and the rivalry, he made it clear in a joking manner that he would prefer fans to save their criticism for him on the basketball court rather than his beloved horses.

Jokic, whose love for horses is well-known, has often spoken about how much they mean to him outside of his basketball career.

His passion for equestrian life is a refreshing contrast to his intense on-court persona.

With his trademark sense of humor, Jokic playfully expressed that while being booed by the fans at Staples Center or anywhere else is just a natural part of the game, he would much rather be the subject of jeers than have his horses criticized.

This statement only adds to Jokic’s charm, showing his down-to-earth nature and how he values his life outside of basketball just as much as his success on the court.
