1. This man didn’t even cry when he won the chip 😭

2. get that horse on a two way

3. This man really does just moonlight as a hall of fame nba player

4. I love watching that man play basketball, but I think I may love seeing him doing something he truly loves a bit more.

5. This is the first time I’ve watched one of the millions of Nikola horse vids, and this is the most emotion I’ve ever seen outta him.

6. I’m pretty sure that will hardly heard about him when he retires

7. He really, really loves horse racing.

8. That horse needs a roster spot on the Nuggets for the sole purpose of keeping Jokic motivated lmao.

9. That trophy is going in front of his MVPs and championship ring

10. Him pouring that big ass bottle of champagne on the dudes helmet cracked me up lmao

11. Are horse boys a thing like horse girls?

12. Sometimes I’m like “y’all really just exaggerate how much this man loves horse racing over basketball” then I see clips like this and I’m reminded how it truly is his first love lol

13. uma musume pretty derby got to him too

14. can the Nuggets just sign the horse already

15. He is 100% retiring early to do this isnt he?

16. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

17. we need a horse stable courtside to put his horse in there as “motivation”

18. This seems like something someone would do in a skit about Jokic

19. Jokic is so damn wholesome. I love his demeanor about his basketball job, and his true loves away from his 9-5.

20. # What an interesting personality this man has. To be unapologetically yourself is what it means to be a true superstar.

21. Hard to fathom…

22. someone (Pablo Torre?) needs to be a deep dive into what horse racing means to Jokic because this is befuddling to me

23. That was amazing. You don’t see this every day.

24. Pure happiness

25. “The job is done and we can go home now,” right?

    …

    Right??

26. Repost this to r/MadeMeSmile , because that joy is infectious.

27. He definitely not gonna miss this parade.

28. Jokic is basically a weepy horse girl trapped inside the body of the most efficient offensive center to ever live.

29. [You can check out the uncut version here](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMnqlIsAH9L/)

30. Which horse girl do y’all think he trains in  Umamusume? 👀

31. Little known fact, he is the biggest whale in Umamusume.

32. Love seeing that brother happy

33. His passion with his horses is insane, I cannot even relate crying to a horse running.
    That being said, congratulations Joker!

34. Probably helps that he’s in his home country where he’s more comfortable and knows he’s not about to have a microphone shoved in his face asking how being a father prepared him for this moment.

35. Can someone help set him up with a ranch in Colorado? He needs to get some thoroughbreds here in the States and win the triple crown.

36. When being one of the most effective offensive basketball players in history is just a side gig.

37. I need Jokic to play Uma Musume

38. That’s a man that knows the cost of a bucket of horse semen.

39. I got you Big Man. Let them flow. This is basically how I reacted when Tamamo Cross won the Tenno Sho.

40. Funniest thing about this is that Arena Sport (one of the biggest sports channels in Balkans) started broadcasting horse races only because of Jokić 😭

41. We all wish we were 7 foot basketball players, Jokic wishes he was a 5’6 125 lbs jockey.

42. Anyone know what the purse was for winning that? Like, he wins $15k and is emotional because he’s so proud of his boys. The money is irrelevant?

43. this is honestly so hilarious

44. Jokic is so funny 😭

45. Umazing!

46. It’s not a joke. This dude loves his homeland and horses WAY more than American basketball.
