Chicago - Nikola Jokiu0107 began his 2020 NBA All-Star weekend festivities with two events on Friday.
Jokiu0107 first served as a coach in the Unified Special Olympics game that was played at Wintrust Arena Friday afternoon. Jokiu0107’s team won the game 44-43, but the Serbian big man was more focused on spreading joy through his involvement.
“It (the Unified Special Olympics game) means everything,” Jokiu0107 said during an on-court interview. “I just like to be here to see the smiles on the athlete’s faces and to be able to teach them something and enjoy the moment.
