Fake Nikola Jokic Social Media Posts

Nikola Jokic is a three-time NBA MVP who looks like he should be managing a gas station in rural Serbia. That is not an insult. It is the foundation of the greatest comedy engine in professional basketball. He moves at the pace of a man who just woke up from a nap, and somehow he's averaging a triple-double against the best athletes on the planet. He was drafted 41st overall, in the second round, while the Denver Nuggets were reportedly more interested in a Taco Bell commercial that aired during his draft slot. He now has more MVP trophies than most franchises have championships.

The Jokic internet persona writes itself. He owns a horse ranch in Sombor, Serbia. He has said publicly that he would rather be at his ranch than playing basketball. He responds to questions about his own greatness with the enthusiasm of a man being asked to fill out a tax form. While other superstars build personal brands and film shoe commercials, Jokic is somewhere feeding horses and looking confused about why anyone cares. That dissonance between his absurd skill level and his complete lack of interest in being famous is the joke, and it never gets old.
