Center striker of the Denver Nuggets Club – Nikola Jokic revealed that he loves the game League of Legends and sees it as an entertainment tool after stressful matches.

Serbian center Nikola Jokic impresses the basketball world not only because of his outstanding talent on the court, but also because of his unique lifestyle. In interviews and press conferences, he often mentions his return to your hometown and your pets during the off season, instead of just focusing on training for the new season.

Although known for his outstanding talent on the NBA court, Jokic is very different when it comes to his personal interests on the sidelines. NBA media quickly realized how to get him excited during interviews not only by talking about basketball, but also by talking about anything else, e-sports for example.

At the 2024 NBA All-Star Game, someone asked Jokic about his hobby of playing League of Legends. As soon as Jokic was asked about his favorite game, his face immediately brightened. 

Nikola Jokic revealed that his favorite game is League of Legends

The Denver Nuggets player revealed that he is playing fighter champions in the top lane at the moment.  “I like to play in the top lane position. Currently, there are two champions I often choose when playing League of Legends: Urgot and Illaoi.”

Both Urgot and Illaoi have had pretty good win rates in Season 14, and Riоt Games is looking at both champions in recent League of Legends updates.

After playing intense matches in the NBA, Jokic seems to enjoy playing intense matches in League of Legends on a solo lane. This is not just a way to entertain, but also a way to keep the mood and sense of challenge alive in the life of a classy sports star like Nikola Jokic.
