Nikola Jokic: A man of true character
By Mathew Huff
Everyone knows about how great Nikola Jokic is on the court, but what goes overlooked is how classy he is.
Nikola Jokic has become a key figure in the Mile High city. For the first team in a few seasons, Denver Nugget fans have something to look forward to in the future and much of that is thanks to Nikola Jokic.
However, many people have a tendency to focus on Jokic the basketball player. What they forget to look at though is Jokic the person. Even though his career is still young, Jokic has emerged as a Denver player with one of the best characters. He has solidified himself as a class act so far, and it should be and will be deeply appreciated in the future.

Not to mention, the man seems to be the type of guy who may want to get deeply involved in community service later on in his career if he is not already heavily involved in the community. He is also a true citizen not just to the Denver community, but to his home nation of Serbia as well.
Of course, there will always be the Dikembe Mutombo’s of the Nuggets’ family, but Jokic has had an un-blemished resume off the court so far in his career. Like I said, I understand that his career is still young and things could happen in the future, but with the way he has conducted himself so far, it is difficult to hate Nikola Jokic.
He has been a true class act not just for the Nuggets, but for the entire NBA so far.
