Jokic recently appeared on the "Jao Mile" podcast, sporting new, specially designed sneakers in the colors of the Serbian national team.
Following this, the Denver center delighted the nation by stating his intention to play for Serbia for as long as possible.

During the podcast, Jokic also recalled the feeling after returning from Paris and the reception in Belgrade, following the Eagles' bronze medal win at the Olympic Games.
When we stepped out, I looked up and saw people on the rooftops. That's why we are the 'heavenly people.' It was truly a magical, unique experience and emotion; I can't describe it. It's an indescribable feeling when you see what you've done for so many people.Nikola Jokic
