Nikola Jokic isn’t just the best basketball player on the planet when it comes to dishing out money.
The Big Honey is perhaps also the best when it comes to distributing jewelry.
Although our team of experts work in the field of writing, this week’s rating team believes that actions speak louder than all the words on this page.
And GTW is firmly on the side of those who support your boasts.
Does anyone – and certainly not just anyone in the basketball world – conquer both fronts better than the Joker, here and now?
The three-time NBA MVP not only helped the Serbian basketball team win a bronze medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics. According to the Blic newspaper in his native countryJokic bought Rolex watches for each of his national team teammates.
Jokic’s Serbian Gifts — A
The most surprising thing? These watches were worth $32,500 each, for an estimated total of $357,500 for the Joker’s purchase of 11 watches.
Jokic and Serbia wins bronze medal in men’s basketball in Paris thanks to a 93-83 victory over Germany in the tournament’s third-place game. The Nuggets star also posted some very Jokic-like stats: 19 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.
The Joker averaged 18.8 points, 10.7 rebounds and 8.7 assists for his country, which finished 4-2 at the tournament. He led all players in the tournament in points, rebounds and assists, becoming the first Olympian to top all three categories in a single campaign.
Apparently, no one gives as much as Jokic when it comes to gifts. At least this fantastic gesture was one the Joker could afford: The Nuggets center is set to make $51.4 million in 2024-25 and $55.2 million in 2025-26, according to Spotrac.com.
If you’re like the GTW employees, you don’t just want Jokic to be the centerpiece of your franchise. You also want him as your Secret Santa.
