Nikola Jokić Plans on Drinking 'a Lot of Beer' in the Off-Season

Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets won't be heading to the Western Conference Finals, but he has great plans for his time off.

Following the Nuggets' loss in Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Jokić was asked by reporters how his summer would compare to last year, during which he participated in the Olympics and walked home with a bronze medal. "I think [the] Olympics make me even better," he said. "You know, playing with the other country, playing with different rules."

He said he still "needs to decide" if he's going to participate in a European championship over the summer, but for now he's content to put his feet up and relax for a bit. "But for now, the next couple of days is gonna be a lot of beer, probably," he said.

Jokić has a reputation for making it all look effortless, consistently showing an apparent disinterest despite being one of the best players in the league. Earlier this year, he gave fans another classic nonchalant moment when he spoke about his plans for his 30th birthday. "Nothing," he said when asked about his plans. "I don't like my birthday."
