Most of the time, Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets is a very calm and collected man, barely ever showing his emotions.
But sometimes he can’t help it.
A new video shared by Hater Report on X features Jokic crying tears of happiness as his horse won a race.
Many fans will note that Jokic didn’t show this much emotion when his team claimed an NBA title a few years ago.

Jokic definitely doesn’t show too many feelings, even when his team is dominating the league.
This has led to many memes and jokes at his expense online, with some people claiming that he doesn’t even like basketball but just does it like many people go to a normal nine-to-five job.
Obviously, that isn’t true, and Jokic really does love his team and wants to help the Nuggets win as much as possible.
But there is no doubt that he also loves his horse racing squad, too.
Jokic has a few months off from being on the court, but he is surely working behind the scenes too, preparing himself for a very long season ahead.
The Nuggets have made a lot of changes in the offseason, and they are planning to climb back up the standings of the Western Conference in the year ahead.
Some people fear that Denver’s championship window has closed, but they should never be counted out as long as Jokic is in the lineup.
And despite being emotional about his horse racing, he is still very committed to his Nuggets.
