DeMarcus Cousins has a question for Nikola Jokic: “If you could win MVP every year or have all of your horses win their race every y–” Jokic: “All the horses. I already have three, so I’m fine[…]all the horses, brother.”
Jokic’s joy when he unexpectedly sees an NBA player he loves is always so pure lol more enthusiastic than 99% of the time he’s publicly seen.
The interaction with Boogie reminds me of my other favorite – Jokic noticing Monte Morris after game 3 of the finals in Miami.
I prefer his reaction when he notices different guys named Morris
LMAO
He is low key the most wholesome superstar in the league when he spots one of his guys
Yah I mean I love the markieff video too lol but less wholesome
That shove effectively ended that man’s career.
kind of off topic but it’s insane how monte morris was the second option on the 2022 nuggets for most of the season and was out of the league the very next year.
That was a wild Nuggets team. Will Barton was a starter as well and was out of the league soon after. They took one game from the warriors.
Painful how that season went. After the trade for AG, the Nuggets clicked instantly.
Will Barton after the injuries was never the same anymore tbh. Same with Gary Harris
Will Barton was such a good player. He was a A+ role player.
Hey, Will the thrill was someone I always low key loved from his Blazers days. Not gonna say he was a great player, but could have his super fun to watch moments
As far as the 22 Nuggets go, he had one of the most prolific careers after that season. He averaged 10 ppg the next season. Jokic and AG are the only ones that topped that. Jokic, AG, and Jeff Green were the only ones in an NBA rotation in 2024.
monte morris just went overseas this season, like 3 months ago he was playing for the pacers
yeah you’re right i confused him for will barton
Pretty sure the account that posted that comment is a service that posts AI comments. Half of reddit at this point is impersonating real people.
He played in the NBA through 2025 I dunno what you’re talking about. This is like an AI response to a Barton comment.
My favorite random Boogie interaction is Rudy Gay smacks Demarcus Cousins in the head 😂
Find somebody who looks at you the way Jokic looks at Demarcus.
Straight for the butt slap. That’s true love right there
omg that is a powerful series of butt pats he gives monte. true love.
What if Morris asked that question? Lol
Jokic saying he has already has 3 MVPs and dmc thinking he has three horses😂wholesome ass interaction, we usually never see this side of Jokic in nba media
But then Jokic says “All 3 horses” at the end and I was even more confused..
Probably just easier than trying to correct him, sometimes you gotta just roll with it. Pretty sure jokic owns a bunch of horses
Makes sense. Jokic has 40-50 horses apparently. Wonder how much money that’d get him if they won every race every year
Looks like the prize pool is around a few thousand dollars. The video of Jokic tearing up watching his horse win a race last year was one of Serbia’s most prestigious races and the prize was around 3900 USD.
What was the increase of that horse’s sperm value tho?
Bump
Apparently stud fee’s can go for hundreds of thousands for the best racehorses. Fucking crazy
Presumably this is for a horse that won the Kentucky Derby not the Belgrade 500.
I mean him watching his horses win is like us watching our basketball players win. It’s not that surprising from that point of view.
No one knows except jokic. We can only just speculate
yeah but lets be real. he’d rather just three of his horses win than mvp at this point
He was just going off what cousins said, he said three first to count his mvps
If his horses won every G1 race they took part in, and became top breeding studs, they’ll be worth easily $200m+ each.
He’ll literally x4 his earnings with 3 super horses.
Super Super Super Creek
To be fair, Demarcus probably forgot he has 3 lol. Even for myself still crazy to think he has 3
I’ve genuinely never seen him smile that hard before
There a video from a few years back where a reporter who he recognizes from Serbia says his name correctly and asks him a question in Serbian, same vibe. Genuinely happy to see the guy.
That’s the homie Miroslav, he does a weekly Nuggets podcast on DNVR
And when Jokic notices a reporter falling out of their chair
It’s like a switch turned on once he heard another Serbian accent

What a wholesome moment
That’s unironically one of the best questions I’ve ever heard someone ask Jokic.
2 of the most skilled bigs I ever seen. Boogie dribbled like a damn guard and Joker pass like one 😂
It’s his passion after all not surprised
I have a feeling that Steph would rather win the Masters than another championship. Dude is a huge golf nut (and a hell of an amateur player).
If he focused all in on golf after NBA and made the tour that would be incredible. Who doesn’t love a 2 sport athlete?
I’m not counting Steph out, he’s pretty damn special. That being said, his chances are vanishingly small. It’s not just about talent. Just getting and keeping a tour card takes a huge amount of luck, not to mention the effort involved. I could see him playing every now and then with a sponsor’s exemption though. I just don’t think he’d be willing to play week in and week out.
He loves his horses more than any person.
I want someone to love me like he loves horses
Hes actually quite tame compared to the average horse girl/boy. You cannot even introduce yourself to them when meeting them for the first time without hearing about how much they love horses.
I just love how happy he is when he answers horse related questions
I’ve never seen him this happy at a podium before lmao
◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜”Boo-gey”
That was pure excitement
Gotta love that. Didn’t even wait for Boogie to finish before he answered.
That was cool to see.
And from the little laugh he gave, you know it made Boogie feel good too.
Look how happy Jokic is to get a horse question XD
Every time I think I can’t love jokic more
Dude if all his horses won all the time he would be rich AF, especially if he bet on them through Kalshi. This post was brought to you by ESPNBET.
Jokic looks so happy when he gets asked a question about horses. Guy doesnt care about anything but horses.
Are they former teammates or does he love all 7 footers
they played together 21-22
Before we got Valanciunas, Boogie was probably the best Jokic-backup we’ve had.
Who else are you even considering? Plumdog?
Hartenstein, Deandre Jordan, Nurkic all qualify right?
I think Jokic and Embiid types all owe a stylistic debt to Boogie, he paved the way for offensively complete 7 footers
I don’t think he likes Rudy. So not all 7 footers
Brother i have 3… MVP
That was wholesome as fuck
The Lakers need to sign Boogie.
lol he’s cooked bro, people gotta stop saying sign all these retire guys who are clearly washed and should stay retired
Boogie hasn’t been the same since the 2017-2018 season, major injuries after that, age, and bad conditioning issues
I think bronny is better than boogie at this point
Bronny reminds me of a 6’3 Demarcus Cousins, maybe the Lakers should look into this
Nuggets are a failure if they don’t get a second ring out of this guy
Nothing could come between this man and his horses.
He really does like horses.
Michael Jordan would never
always pretty cool seeing NBA greats just interact as friends
THE MONEY ROUTE
Jokic born to be a horse girl
https://imgur.com/a/4jOPMOJ
horses, brother
yeah he doesn’t care about MVP. now if u change the question to ‘win the championship every year or have all ur horses win their race every year’ … then it is a diff question !
I didn’t know Jokic loved Boogie.
He deseved 2 more MVPS
You wanna get on this man’s good graces, talk about his horses. Dude gets giddy.
Gatorade…. Water?
Loved Boogie on Denver. He was prob a headache for the staff, and that’s why we didn’t resign him, but o nthe court he was a fire backup.
It’s that he doesn’t care about more MVPs
That’s not fair, because he now has the money that he could bet his millions on the horses and easily become a multi-billionaire. That’s worth a lot more than some NBA awards.
If he had no money at all…that’s a new question.
Just financially this makes sense. Even an all time NBA career can only last 20ish years. On the other hand, you can own horses until you die.
