Nuggets center Nikola Jokiu0107 was a relative unknown when he was taken in the second round of the 2014 NBA draft. But it appears that the two-time MVP was always destined for Nuggets greatness.
At least, that’s one interpretation of this photo posted by Jokiu0107’s agent, Miško Rau017enatoviu0107, in which a five-year-old Jokiu0107 can be seen rocking a retro Nuggets sweatshirt from the year 2000.
“Chances of a kid from a small Serbian town having a sweatshirt from a lesser-known American team back in 2000 were minimal … Chances of anyone knowing about the Nuggets in a small Serbian town were next to nothing,” Rau017enatoviu0107 wrote in the caption.
