Nikola Jokic is a Serbian professional basketball player who plays as a center for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association.
He was born in Sombor, Serbia, to Zoran and Dragana Jokic. Nikola has two brothers, Nemanja and Strahinja. His father played professional basketball in Europe, most notably for Radnički Kragujevac of the Yugoslav First League.
Nikola grew up in Sombor with his family and moved to Belgrade at age 14 to pursue his basketball career. He was not a highly touted prospect coming out of Serbia, but he impressed scouts during his time playing at Mega Leks, which led to him signing with the Denver Nuggets in 2014.
