Nikola Jokic Reveals Unexpected Truths About What Basketball Truly Means to Him
Isn’t it funny how something as simple as ice cream can perfectly sum up the complex love-hate relationship Nikola Jokic has with basketball? Here’s a guy who’s one of the most dazzling talents on the hardwood—dropping triple-doubles like it’s no big deal—yet he talks about the game with a laid-back vibe that’s almost… blasé. You’d expect a guy with stats like 29.6 points, 12.7 boards, and 10.2 assists to be buzzing with excitement every game, right? Nope. Jokic’s comparison to ice cream being delightful but eventually “boring” after a while nails a truth many fans miss: even the best athletes can hit emotional plateaus. With the Denver Nuggets shaking up their roster this off-season, the question looms—will a fresh supporting cast rekindle that spark for Jokic, or is this calm, cool demeanor just part of what makes him so uniquely brilliant? Let’s dive into what makes this superstar tick—or not tick—as we peel back the layers beyond the boxscore.
Over the years, a lot of people have talked about Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets and his lack of enthusiasm about playing basketball.
It’s not that he doesn’t like the sport; it’s just that he never seems too excited about it.
He recently touched upon his opinion about playing in the NBA, and summed it up well.
“I love ice cream, but after 10 days of ice cream, you get bored of it,” Jokic said.
Nikola Jokic says basketball isn’t the only thing in his life, despite his love for it: “I love ice cream, but after 10 days of ice cream, you get bored of it.”

That’s a fairly clever comparison that most people can relate to.
Ice cream is good, but too much of it will cause a stomachache, and you will get tired very fast.
Last season, he produced 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.2 assists on 57.6 percent from the field.
It was yet another stunning year for the Serbian superstar, and he made it look easy.
In fact, he always makes it look easy, and that is one of the most amazing things about him.
The Nuggets faced some difficulties last year and there were some major changes that affected the team.
During the summer, they worked hard to improve their roster and place a better squad around Jokic.
That means he will get more support in the new year, which could give him a better outlook.
However, he has shown that even when he is tired of basketball and just wants to go home, he still plays his heart out.
His demeanor and opinion about professional sports are some of the many things that set him apart from everyone else in the NBA.
