[Highlight] Nikola Jokic spotted at a low intensity rehab facility
He’s so tall, he should play basketball
He’s not really fast though but he’ll grow into it
A bit chubby kid too they say
I think growing is the issue here. Too much horizontally instead of vertically
If he goes too much further vertical he’ll go full wembanyama!
I saw a dude at the gas station the other day that was like 6’10”. His t shirt said “No, I didn’t play basketball when I was younger.’
flop
He should be wrestling Gunther for the title not posting up against Gobert
Durant used to rent an apartment in the building, and the only time I talked to him was when I first ran into him and said “you’re so tall” lol
As a parent, I assure you there is nothing low intensity about those facilities, especially when trying to corral your youngsters so that you can leave.
yeah but hes a pro athlete and youre a bum
He may be a pro athlete and I may be a bum, but we both do the exact same “where the F is my kid” walk.
Right? This is the nonchalant version. Should have kept rolling for when he transitioned into, “Actually, no really… Where the Fuck is my kid??!” which usually happens after two loops.
Preach. And of course his kid, like all kids, is going to be buried in the plastic ball pit alongside the sick kid with the runny nose whom they’ve been playing with for the past two hours.
And then it turns out they have some virus or sickness last seen in middle ages cattle, and guess who’s next…
As a more recent parent, I was like why would you take your kid into that cesspool? Then it rained for a whole weekend and the house we just moved to hadn’t been fully proofed. No more questions.
Softies. This is why you tell them to be at the car by x time. Or they’ll need a new family
Can’t go easy on these kids. They’re sharks.
He’s just pretending for the kid’s sake. If you asked him to throw a pass to his kid at any moment, he could do it with his eyes closed.
It’s called “don’t step on the hot wheels on the ground” at my house
fair enough
Came here to write exactly that, I know a dad that can’t find his kid by the walk lol
This just made my entire day 😂
Being a parent is a high-intensity mental workout.
you are a por athlete
mrsunsfan in shambles
The dota guy?
Jokic probably just leaves and his kids eventually follow him. Elite mentality.
lmao
That’s what I’m saying. If your kid has ever dragged you thru the tunnels after them… I was in pain that night lol
I’m a foot shorter than him and chasing my kids through a McDonald’s play space nearly destroyed my knees.
Seriously. Not even a full workout session leaves me as drenched in sweat as running around in kid’s gym.
I have seen him at this indoor park a couple of times (having children myself). Never bothered him but seen other people go up to him and if they take out their phone for a selfie or talk to him longer than 15 seconds another man will walk up and kindly ask them to leave him alone. Think it’s a bit fucked up to film him hanging with his daughter in secret and post it on the internet. Leave him alone.
She clearly hid his kids face
too late, internet white knights have arrived! This dude is on TV 4 times a week, it’s not like his existence is a secret. The lady didn’t bother him. He probably prefers this over people trying to talk or get autographs. The people who act hollier than though over this shit would be the first to whip out their phones if they saw him at Denny’s or some shit.
Nah y’all are so fucking weird just let people live lol
These people have absolute no empathy it’s so fucking sad
the lady who posted this on her own socials didnt bother him at all dafuq are you on about. you think a multi-millionaire who’s on nationally televised games multiple times a week is bothered by this lady’s recording?
did you watch the whole video or turn it off immediately? I bet i know..
Or maybe just respect people if they don’t want to be photographed regardless of who they are? Not that hard to comprehend, he doesn’t owe you anything
Who said he owes anyone anything? Lol what are you even talking about?
I’m pretty sure a lot of people will figure out where this place is from the video, and now they know Jokic goes there with his kid. Videos like this just help freaks stalk him, who cares if he is on TV normally, he is doing so in an arena with security for his job, it’s much different than showing the world a place he likes to bring his kid so people can find him there and bother him.
Or, hear me out, some people will maybe say “look it’s Jokic”, and then go on with their lives without filming because it does not fucking matter
I grew near an area where big movie/tv productions would often film outdoor scenes, so it wouldn’t be uncommon to see biggish celebrities in the nearby area. My best experience was running into Jack Gleeson (Joffrey in GoT) in a bookstore, had a chat for 2 minutes about the book I had in hand (not GoT) then left things there. My policy was to 1) never ask to take a photo, and 2) where possibly try and be the one to end the conversation. I think that was the thing famous people appreciated the most, a normal human interaction that didn’t involve a photo shoot, a few questions about what they’re interested in outside of their famous endeavours, then a willingness to end the conversation instead of them having to do it themselves.
They should teach this is in school
I saw him do some talk at the Oxford Union I think it was. Bright and down-to-earth kid.
Is the conversation denying man big and scary?
To be fair, he has enough money to rent the whole place for a couple of hours if he wanted privacy….
To be fair, he probably doesn’t want use his money to lock the doors and prevent children from being able to play at a childs playground lol.
Also kids like playing with other kids lol kind of defeated the purpose if it’s locked down
Right lol. Why doesn’t he simply silo off his daughter from all public life? That’s a healthy way to raise a child
The point I’m making is that Jokic should know that the price of being famous is little to no privacy
Real question not trolling: if you took a picture of him and his daughter and he walked over to you and asked you to delete it, would you? Or would you tell him the price of being famous is no privacy?
I would delete it. But my answer to that question is I wouldn’t take a picture of him in the first place, let alone of his daughter. That would be morally wrong to me. Better yet, if I saw him in public, I would do a double take and that would be the end of it. I wouldn’t speak to him, ask for a photo or bother him in any capacity. He’s another human being, not an alien from outer space.
Now does the average fan have my mindset? Probably not. That’s where my comment of “expect no privacy” comes from
I understand you now thanks for the reply
Where is this? It looks cool and I want to take my kids
This appears to be the new Lava Island down in Centenniel. It’s at Chambers and Parker Road. The price is a bit steep, but they’ve got a decent rewards program and my kids (4 YO) love it.
Why is this downvoted lmao
Fuck them kids, I guess
lol wtf I just noticed.
The other man is in the comments
Oh Jesus. It’s a few clips of him walking around. The person who made this even blurred child faces. Relax prude.
I think you should look up what the definition of prude is.
Yeah, but why. You saw him, why you need it on video as if it’s bigfoot.
He does have abigfoot
Valid point
cuz I need imaginary internet points to boost my self-esteem and self-loathing
that’s fair, it do be like that
I don’t think the person “crossed the line” necessarily but the guy you responded to might be speaking with their internal voice. Even with the trappings of great skill and universal acclaim I personally would be really uncomfortable being filmed like this. I’d consider it… unnecessary I guess, not criminal or cancelable just, a bummer
For real. That’s what I thought.
Bro looking for a snack machine
Specifically the one that has honey buns
And grapes
He looks like a big zoo animal just loafing around. Out of context, im assuming he just goes there for fun
He goes just to get on the mechanical horse.
“Bro, you said we come here for horseplay. Where are the horses?”
Nah that’s a standard “where the hell did my kid go” walk.
If you’re big enough, everywhere is a snack machine.
Why not just let the dude do his own thing and not film him?
Being famous would absolutely blow.
Imagine everyone at any given moment could and will most likely take a pic or record you. No escape or regular life.
You have one bad day or in a bad mood and it probably makes national media.
Fuck that.
As Michael Jordan said, “When it comes to being rich and famous, just be rich”
Sounds better than being poor
To each their own but I’d rather sleep on a bench and eat out of the back of a Publix dumpster than be trapped in a mental prison where every move I make and every word I say is under a microscope and not be able to trust anybody for any genuine connection because you don’t know if they want something out of it.
Edit: Crazy that I have my own opinion that is different. Can’t have that.
fellas, is it better to be a famous millionaire or literally homeless?
It is insane what people will say. “Oh no, people are filming me and telling me how great I am.” Vs. trying to survive on a bench in Downtown Denver when it’s 20 degrees out in February, wondering where your next meal will come. Like, come on man.
It sounds like you have experienced both so I’m curious to get your full input on both situations.
I guess I have a hot take but I’d rather be homeless.
People constantly recognizing me, talking to me, and always in the news would be my living Hell.
Very hot take, it seems that you probably have not been poor to say such thing
And neither of us have been famous so how could either of us truly know?
I will admit I never had to worry about my next meal but I’d rather be in a physical prison than a mental one.
I have been very poor, it’s absolute trash, I prefer to never worry about money ever again, I can always buy somewhat tranquility
Never worrying about money ever again would be amazing, but I disagree on the last part.
I don’t think you can ever buy tranquility especially if you are extremely famous.
As someone who has slept on park benches, I can confidently say id rather live in a mansion and be annoyed by people on a daily basis then do that again.
So you’re saying that someone who hasn’t experienced something probably doesn’t know what it is like to live it?
If this is how you really feel you should honestly seek therapy. Like, does Jokic get annoyed when people come up to him? Probably. But the money and fame he has allows him to fund his passions like horse racing and to give his family an amazing life.
If you cannot simply deal with the pressures of occasionally being bothered, filmed, whatever vs. freezing your ass off in the dead of winter on an uncomfortable bench/sidewalk, wondering where your next meal will come from you honestly are probably agoraphobic, have no experience with being poor/living hard or are very young. Either way, something to consider.
You have many assumptions about me as a person, but I don’t really care to put in any time defending each point.
Not everyone who has a different opinion needs therapy.
You’ve never been famous so how would you know which is objectively better?
I could easily turn the tables on you and say you’ve never dealt with any sort of mental health issues, never have felt imprisoned by society, and have had many healthy relationships in your life, but I’m not going to assume. This isn’t a shot at you. Just your argument.
Agreed. This is super weird
Especially at a kids play facility, while he’s around his kids.
I can’t fathom doing this shit while he’s there with his kids and I’m presumably there with mine. As a Denver-area parent of similarly aged kids, I would be very happy to just tell my friends/family who I ran into. Show some pride in the community, man. Him and his kids’ privacy should be protected by the community, not exploited by it.
Not saying I condone it but… that’s what the money is for
Yeah I get taking a quick picture to show to your friends (and not posting it online) but recording a video of him for a while is just disgusting
That gait still looks really rough
This whole video looks/feels like a Bigfoot sighting vid
He has the gait of an old silverback.
Lol
He’s shitfaced
Who among us
Can judge
Off to the glue factory for horse man
Boxer in shambles
I bet one of those kids kicked him in the knee
His knee buckled, not good
thought it was just the normal “baller waddle” but remembered it was a knee injury. not very inspiring “month-long” injury
Lava island, my kids loved that shithole.
Same. There’s one 5 minutes from my house. I would take my 2 year old son there pretty regularly until we kept getting sick from it.
Also, OP calling it “low intensity” was certainly a choice. I’m in my mid-30s and in decent shape, but after an hour of chasing my son through the tunnels and jumping on trampolines, I was always dripping sweat.
I think he goes there specifically because it is not the nicest version of this kind of place and he has less of a chance of being bothered.
Aw man his limp is noticeable he’s probably not gonna be fully himself until towards the end of the season, which sucks. Hopefully tho that means he’s rehabbed and trained to be healthy in the playoffs
He’s always walked funny. There’s definitely still some limp, but that’s to be expected being 2 weeks out from the injury. Honestly he’s moving a lot better than I thought he would be.
Good point. They did say they avoided any structural damage so thats good. Everytime a big man goes down with a leg injury its so scary lol. All them calf injuries Giannis gets give me a heart attack everytime lol
He was walking fine at the Bucks Nuggets game the other day, I was shocked
Leave him alone, he’s with his daughter.
Agreed. It’s perfectly fine to just tell people “I saw Jokic at such and such”, you don’t have to take a video of him. Also if she thinks he doesn’t know she’s doing that, she’s very much mistaken.
Also if she thinks he doesn’t know she’s doing that, she’s very much mistaken.
Absolutely. I’d imagine there are more than several people there that were recording him just like this lady and I bet he noticed every single one. This ain’t a fun clip.
Agree with u for most part
But its jokic
We need as many jokic in the wild sightings as possible
[removed]
agreed. the selfie is weird AF.
Yeh, don’t film people’s kids, come on
this is a bit creepy
that’s what i said. what’s with that selfie at the end too ?
She wants to document him like a wild animal on a safari, but doesn’t have the guts to go up to him and ask for a photo
It’s fucking weird, I don’t know how it’s so upvoted either lol
It’s literally just him walking by in public, it’s weird to be recording him like a rare animal in a safari especially when it looks like he’s playing with his daughter
So it’s ok to film at a children’s soft play now and post it on the internet?
Right? Schools always tell parents at concert events that if you’re going to take pics or record, dont post it on social media for the public to see
This might be naive but like… why..? This video in particular seems incredibly not risky for any kid that has their elbow partially visible in it for 3 frames. Like, come tf on.
Is this illegal? If you are at Disney, you take a picture of your kids, odds are there will be lots of other kids in it. Is that photo illegal to post on Facebook?
Serious question. Disney nor this place is a public place, but I think you do not need to permission to film or record in a public place.
He’s healing the ankle in the ball pit
WTF. People filming others in public is terrible.
I hope no one really bothered him. He clearly spending time with his kids.
Based on the fact that this video exists, I have bad news for you
Why are they recording him like the alien in Signs?
Man DOES NOT look like a professional athlete hahaha just another tall dude loping around. Pretty cool thats the best basketball player in the world
This isn’t cool. He’s around children and clearly doing family time. Also posting the video with children in it…
People wonder why famous people become assholes and recluses.
For every person that asks them for an autograph, there are 15 more like this lady doing things like stalking him through his kid’s jungle gym.
And then to post it on social media? Lord …
The average person would never suspect that that is the best basketball player in the world lol
I had the same thought. If he was 6 foot you’d think he was a beer loving blue collar dude LOL
Probably dropped a tripple double in there on them kids
People really need to stop filming stuff like this.
She’s creepy as hell for his. Showing multiple angles in different places too.. jesus how long was she secretly recording him?
Low intensity? Brother… I got bullied down the slide by fifteen 3-6 yr olds lol
Is he at scooter’s jungle? lol
“There’s no ponies here? What kind of place is this??”
kinda creepy vid to be honest lol
I went to one of those places with my niece last summer. I’m 6’5”. My knees nearly exploded.
He’s just horsing around
Kind of a creepy way to record someone
Its so much worse if you know this version of the song
Him just wandering around this place is fucking hilarious
He’s doing the “where’d my kid go”
Theres always that one person who can’t help themselves and film them for 5 seconds of fame.
Yeah, don’t do this shit.
He’s looking for the foam shapes pit
Just being one of the greatest hoopers of all time and casually walking around and it seems like no one in the building cares
Nah man I’ve been at an indoor play park recently. When your kid is forcing you to follow them into 4.5’ tall tunnels over and over again, I nearly threw my back out. I’m 6’2”. If I was his height, I would be in so much trouble.
Saw his brother at Summer League last year. Equally as tall and way more muscular.
I recently saw Yao Ming up close and personal, it’s almost impossible to look away he’s so gigantic. Very friendly too, noticed I was watching smiled and said hello.
Imagine seeing that guy at Kid Zone and telling your wife that is the single best basketball player on the planet?
I hate this broad. Let him enjoy his time with his children in peace
Just let the man enjoy his family.
Nothing low intensity about a children’s indoor playground. Get ready to workout buddy!
That’s called Bubbas Play House in my neck of the woods.
Its called Lava Island and I’ve taken my kid there. 10⁄10 would recommend 👌
My kid damn near died at this same place, I was running around wrangling one kid, came back to my other kid hanging from her neck on a rope course.
Looks like Lava Island in Aurora. Wonder if he did any flips into the foam pit
He’s wondering where he can get some Coca-Cola
Bro don’t hate on Lava Island
he’s still thinking about his horses.
Bro looking for them horse paintings.
This music made me feel violent anger.
So the order goes Horses > Low intensity rehab facility > NBA basketball ?
That shit’s not low intensity. No doubt he just aggravated his injury. Calls on a prolonged injury timetable.
Banana boat
[deleted]
Not sure I could have helped asking him if he was there for rehab - and then leaving him the fuck alone with his kid(s).
Low intensity? This is where things ramp up!
Bitch, this is a McDonalds play place
So funny
Why does he look fat lmao
Surely dude has enough money to build that playground 3x in his backyard
What lava island was this?
Looking for them horses
You would think someone who hyperextended their knee is still gonna have some trouble walking after two weeks. This isn’t a surprise and he’s always walked funny.
