Nikola Jokić, an NBA star and one of the best basketball players of today, has an incredible support in his brother Strahinja, who often accompanies him to Denver Nuggets games. Strahinja, although less well-known to the public, has become a true protector of his brothers. His presence leaves no one indifferent, especially not journalists. One of Yahoo Sports' journalists witnessed an encounter with Strahinja that almost ended in disaster.
In his report, the journalist reveals that he felt very uneasy while filming the Jokić family, thinking that Strahinja had noticed his camera. In the end, he was convinced that the encounter could end badly. Strahinja Jokić, who is known for his physical build and past problems with the law, raised his fist in his direction. The journalist then thought that the end had come, but fortunately, the situation turned around. Strahinja was not aggressive, but politely asked them to move so that the Jokić family could take a photo in peace.
Strahinja Jokić and his past controversies
Although this meeting ended without consequences, Strahinja Jokić was not always in a positive light. His name is associated with several controversial events. Last year, during a Denver Nuggets game, he assaulted a fan, which resulted in legal action. The trial for that attack begins on April 18, and until then Strahinja is under a ban on access to the person he attacked, as well as a ban on buying alcohol and weapons.
His past also included domestic violence, and the public remembers an incident when, distraught, he even tried to attack his brother Nikola with a knife. Although these dark sides of the past are known, it seems that Strahinja is now trying to remain in a different light, especially in the eyes of her family and journalists.
When you're the brother of a famous basketball player like Nikola Jokić, it's something you can't hide. No matter how much you want to stay in the shadows, your presence still attracts attention.
