Nikola Jokic’s Serbian team may not have clinched gold at the Paris Olympics, but they secured a well-deserved bronze thanks to the outstanding performances of Jokic and Luka Doncic. Winning the bronze medal was so thrilling for the Serbian superstar that he celebrated it by going shirtless and dancing with his teammates. But the celebrations didn’t stop there; Jokic went on to spend a whopping $375,000 on Rolex watches for his Serbian national teammates.
Fans couldn’t help but marvel at Jokic’s extraordinary generosity to his fellow Serbian players.
Here are a few of the reactions:
However, some fans criticized Jokic for not extending the same level of generosity to his Denver Nuggets teammates following their NBA title win. They were surprised by his lavish gift to the Serbian team for just a bronze medal, contrasting it with his treatment of his NBA teammates.

Dirk Nowitzki Dreams of Pairing Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic Together for the Mavericks
Former Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki recently expressed his wish to see Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic team up in the NBA. On The Night of the Dragon, Nowitzki discussed his hope that this dynamic duo could one day play together for the Mavericks.
“I hope that would be in Dallas. I’m not sure if that will ever happen, but obviously both are two of the best players in the world. If now the best players in the world,” he said.
“They both have a great relationship with each other; they respect each other and like each other genuinely. They spend time with each other. I’m not sure, but of course, we want Luka in Dallas as long as we can. Hopefully, he finishes his career there, but I love Jokic’s game, how he plays the game with passion, and the skill level as a big is unbelievable. They’re both incredible players,” he added.
Dallas brought Klay Thompson on board this offseason. It seems unlikely they’ll pursue another top-tier superstar. Additionally, the chance of Nikola Jokić departing from the Nuggets appears almost impossible, at least for now.
