Luka Doncic celebrating his b-day after the win last night
Is that Novak Djokovic lol
Yup.
He was also attending the Lakers-Kings game last night
Guess it makes sense since he’s there for Indian Wells
He was practicing at UCLA too
Luka leans into his Serb side a lot.
When I was in Ljubljana I noticed that young people listen mostly to Belgrade music artists
Oh that’s cool !
Isn’t his Serb side just… all of him?
His dad is Serbian and his mom is Slovenian, and he was born and raised in Slovenia
Ahh makes sense. Brain fart since he does play for Slovenia.
Does that mean Barron Trump is Slovenian????
Thought I was in the tennis subreddit til I saw who posted the clip lmao
That is Novak “Is Wayne Brady going to have to” Djokavic
Why are there anthropomorphic peacocks circling the celebration like they’re scoping out prey?
Clever girl
SHOOOTTT HEERRRRRRRR!!!!
But don’t actually in this context. It’s probably illegal or something.
With the 🐐
Didn’t even notice Djokovic till I saw this comment
I saw him at the game, didn’t expect him to be at the party
Federer was at the party too?
No I think just the goat
why does nobody care that Luka/Jokic hang out with Djkovic who is an anti-vaxxer?
Jokic was literally seen with Djokvic at the height of the pandemic
Because it’s not worth caring about.
anti-vax isn’t worth caring about?
Djokovic chose to not get vaccinated. He isn’t publicly against it and telling people they shouldn’t get it. It’s really not a big deal
Regardless of him not speaking publicly about it or telling people what to do, his choice to not vaccinate still put other people at risk during the pandemic. People like him and millions of others who did not vaccinate contributed to the problem. He and others indirectly contributed to the deaths of other people.
So it is a big deal.
You could make that argument, but the distinction between being “anti-vax” and deciding to not take a vaccine for any number of private, personal reasons is an important one that you didn’t make.
Kyrie literally did the exact same thing yet was losing paychecks for it
there’s a double standard there but I can’t qWhite put my finger on it
lmao classic resorting to racism without even knowing the facts
novak wasnt allowed to play a couple grand slams because he didnt get the vaccine, and he literally got deported from Australia becuase of it
classic resorting to racism
lmao classic Fox News talking points
Are you gonna go into the fact that Djokovic got heavily punished and scrutinized in the tennis world for not vaccinating just like Kyrie or are you just ignoring that because it doesn’t fit your fantasy world? Noone hates people that associate with Kyrie either so idk if you could pick a dumber hill to die on.
That doesn’t sound like fox nor any news org. It sounds like a guy explaining to you exactly what happened. Offering you context you lacked.
Do you want more Djokovic vax discussion in the NBA reddit 5 years after the fact? You must not have been in the tennis reddit back then because he most certainly received the type of hate that Kyrie got. Tennis is just less relevant to our culture and the people you interact with so you didn’t see it
r/tennis is still in a meltdown
And on the “losing paychecks” thing, Djokovic was not allowed to participate in several tournaments we would have won. So yes he lost millions of dollars too
Ya def race and not because they live in different countries and play different sports which both have different governing bodies
Dumb and racist, good job
He faced punishments just like Kyrie did. I’m the first guy to point out the racial bias in this subreddit, certainly there is some, this don’t apply
Well people hated Kyrie so they were biased. You’re right though, Kyrie never once advocated against the vaccine, but people acted like he was campaigning against it. Meanwhile many other players didn’t get vaccinated but Kyrie was the only one that got the publicity because he happened to play in the one place it mattered thanks to a dumb fuck mayor seeking attention
One of the worst things about this sub is that blatant racism is allowed as long as it’s directed at white people. Three hours later and this comment is still up and the user hasn’t been banned, and this isn’t even a rare occurrence.
0/10 rage-bait
I thought the Pfizer already stopped forcing this propaganda since the pandemic ended.
Reddit moment
It gotta be a troll
Djokovic is also the only tennis star who pushed for the formation of a player’s association and profit sharing
And gave millions and millions for charity initiatives
because if I cared about ppl being antivaxxers, conspiracy nutjobs, history revisionist or celebrating war criminals, as much as you do I couldn’t talk to my family anymore.
Cmon man, Djokovic gave his kids vaccines, just not the covid one. It was experimental, and ineffective anyways.
Covid is still out there yet only like 15% of people are getting vaccines now.
It was always significantly more important for the unhealthy/people wity comorbidities to get it.
Crazy that people are still trying to police others bodies/who you are even allowed to hang out with because of personal health decisions
At the time of the Australian Open, it was the Omicron variant which vaccines weren’t able to stop the spread. Novak being vaccinated or not didn’t change anything. It was all a political shitshow during a strange period of our history.
You mean the mrna shot that they had to literally change the definition of vaccine in order to call it that?
The look he gave the second model 😂
Hes scouting his next girl lol
More tennis players than ballers here
Novak djokovic 🐐
the anti-vaxxer?
No the tennis player
nah his legacy will be anti-vaxxer
Yeah, I’m sure in a few years when people look at him having most weeks at #1, most grandslams, winning every masters twice, Olympic gold, all they’ll think about is him not getting the Covid vaccine.
He’s still the goat even after being unfairly denied chances to win more majors due to Covid restrictions lol. How mad does this make you?
I care more about his history of awful misogyny but thats bad too
The anti vaxxed goat. Seethe.
Wears a mask in his car type comment lol
Lmao
i must be getting old. the only thing i was thinking of was those feathers could easily catch a flame
That one girl caught Luka’s eye.
She is singing a classic song you sing to the birthday boy/girl
and then
starts singing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vez7L7NpBtk
for some reason lol, its a song about how there exists a place where friendship governs but we don’t usually sing that for birthdays lol its a song for kindergarten children.
Took me a bit too long to figure out what language she was singing in.
Now in retrospect it is easy to hear, but lol.
Nice to see Djokovic there
Ok bro you met your quota, you are free to go
Lmfao
You’re annoying. Don’t you have a life?
tell that to all the grandmothers Djokvic killed during the pandemic
Lmao. Yall act like this dude was running around taking vaccines out of doctors hands, instead of just refusing to get vaxxed himself. Virtue signalling should be an Olympic sport at this point
the kids that are dying from not being vaccinated also don’t have a life.
Y’all tensed
Other teammates there?
Nope their chemistry is at an all time low

Co worker behavior vs off clock behavior I understand it 77
Man this is wild for a bunch of multimillionaire NBA players lol… looks like a generic office happy birthday
The saddest rendition of happy birthday song I’ve ever heard
None of them? There is zero chance that the Browns will draft Luka now.
Serbian party
Is there a single lakers teammate in attendance?
He’s so gone next summer lol, coach is an asshole, teammates aren’t his boys, used as a scape goat already, fans are so fucking toxic to anyone not named Kobe. This is the happiest I’ve seen him in a while lol
What cake is everyone else going to eat?
Seriously, where’s Nico to take this man’s cake away when you need him?
Nico would see Luka struggling to put out all the candles in one breath and trade him for lack of fitness
them hookah lungs be working OT
Novak 😫😫😫
Well looks much more fun than Kirk Cameron’s birthday.
Bro keep those hates away from those candles!
Did someone immediately swoop in to take the cake out of his hands?
Happy bday
Branko Kocka Kockica
M. Night Shyamalan stuff. 😆
Is that Slovenian they’re singing in?
Serbian
Still can see Schröders hand on them cheeks.
serbian bros enjoying time together
Easy on the cake, Luka boy
You know he ate that whole cake all by himself right?
Sad boy
Bro struck out blowing that many times. This is a professional athlete? Smh
Guessing he cried to the waitress for a foul after
rich people freak me out so much man. Like I’m sure Djokovic and Luka cross paths from time to time but thats the guy standing next to you on your birthday? dont these guys have any like, actual real friends at all
What if they are real friends
like i said, i’m sure they are “friends” but theres no way they are “stand next to me blowing out my birthday candles” friends
go outside man
i can’t, i’m working
If I was your boss, I’d fire you
Why not?
i dunno man, dont you have like, some actual friends from childhood or family or people that you spend a significant amount of your time on the planet with that you are around during meaningful moments of your life like this, not some 12 year older tennis player that you are hanging out with because he’s rich and famous
straight up weirdo behavior
You’re the actual weirdo for thinking two people at the top of their sport and have cultural similarities couldn’t be genuine friends.
Lakers fans are so deranged man, getting pressed over their weirdo icons
No one is “pressed,” they’re disagreeing with you.
Learn the difference.
His childhood friends probably don’t live in LA. Luka lives in LA for business, Novak was there for business too, they met. Not that deep bro
I see what you’re trying to get at but Djokovic is probably one of the few people that understands Luka in a very fundamental way given he’s one of a handful of Balkan megastar athletes. Luka’s childhood friends aren’t going to understand that experience
I think you’re the one with no friends lmao. Projecting
This video says otherwise
