[TMZ Sports] Nikola Jokic’s Brother Punches Fan In Heated Altercation, NBA Investigating



https://www.tmz.com/2024/04/23/nikola-jokic-brother-punches-fan-heated-altercation-nuggets-lakers-game/

>Nikola Jokic’s brother was in no mood to celebrate the Nuggets’ comeback win over the Lakers on Monday … ’cause he straight-up punched a fan in the stands at the playoff game — and it’s all on video.

>According to witnesses, the violent incident went down shortly after Joker and his Denver teammates completed their 101-99 win against LeBron James and co. to go up 2-0 in the first-round series.

>The clip shows Joker’s older brother, Strahinja, hop over a Ball Arena seat and down a row … kicking his way through the crowd to get closer to the male spectator.

>As soon as Strahinja got within arms reach, he unloaded a fierce punch with his right hand that hit the fan right in the face.

>The two sides weren’t done with each other after the hit, though … they continued to bark at each other as Strahinja’s brother, Nemanja, followed right behind him for support.

>The two-time MVP’s wife, Natalija, was just feet away from Jokic’s brothers throughout the altercation … holding their young daughter as she reached out to reel Strahinja back.

    ate that punch and probably gets a nice little paycheck good shit brother.

    anyway what the *fuck* is that haircut

  2. Cold_Carpenter_1798

    Jokic brothers are annoying as hell like just shut up and watch the game instead of constantly bringing negative attention to your brother

  3. TheFatmanRises

    Don’t they got history of being violent or domestic abuse?

  4. bravof1ve

    Nothing new from these guys. I’m surprised the person they punched was a man though

  5. Well, not exactly the toughest investigation ever is it

  6. DocumentAggressive56

    thats one huge mf too. really really dumb punching someone that much smaller than you- can range between big fine and 20 years in jail depending on where you hit them.

  7. Looking to fight people after you watched your brother’s team complete an epic comeback is embarrassing. League has to do something, because if that guy didn’t have a strong jaw this could’ve ended badly

  8. Pretty clear on video. He should get banned from all the arenas.

  9. BannedforaJoke

    When you’re that big, hitting other ppl violently is just stupid. what if they die? then you’re in for homicide instead of just assault.

  10. ImGonnaChubbBradley

    Does anybody on this team have one normal brother?

  11. SomborDouble95

    Funny how different siblings can turn out! Sure, Jokic has a bit of a temper but he is as respectful as it gets and seems like a wonderful person to be around for fans, and teammates.

  12. Nuggets: joker, we cant allow your brothers at games anymore.

    Jokic: i want out.

    Nuggets: actually nvm. Punch away

  13. Necessary_Initial350

    Feel bad for Jokic. Embarrassing and dangerous behavior from his brother.

  14. Gerald_the_sealion

    It’s as simple as this: ban him from all stadiums. Done. Dont even tolerate it the slightest.

    Edit: they > him, the one that punched

  15. Herro_Bubbles

    Damn, hats off to the lad that took the shot and stood his ground. That roided piece of shit should be arrested for assault and for cowardly assaulting someone half his size and mass.

  16. ExpectedOutcome2

    They can probably get away with that in Serbia but this is America where we hold wealthy and famous people account… wait nvm.

  17. BillowingPillows

    Nikola took all the quality genetics in the family and refused to share them

  18. Muted_Dog7317

    This is the same guy who was arrested for choking and false imprisonment of a woman so absolutely no surprise. He’s a felon who shouldn’t be allowed in the country.

  19. VidProphet123

    Bruh they supposed to be protecting jokics wife and children, not instigating violence literally 10 feet from them

  20. Krem_Banana

    This is the soccer hooligan mentality that you see a lot in the Balkans and Eastern Europe. You have young men with no opportunities, no accomplishments, no common sense and no positive role model seeing things like this and they grow up thinking that being a hooligan is cool. They base their entire self worth on this and on supporting a team that they get into fights over, it makes no sense. A lot of times people grow out of this but these two never did and all they do is embarrass their brother.

  21. Comrade_agent

    Suspend Jokic for 4 games and MPJ for 6

  22. DefiniteSauce12

    I remember them taunting Jack Nicholson during last year’s WCF. People seemed fine with it, but it seemed pretty lowlife to me.

  23. FlourMogul

    Investigation by the NBA, or the police? That seems like a pretty clear assault charge for a normal person.

  24. Disclaimz0r

    What’s there to investigate? He punched a dude. That’s assault. Ban him.

  25. Ingrownpimple

    Denver Nuggets Players: 🤴

    Denver Nuggets Player’s Brothers: 🤤

  26. CallMe_Jammin

    Nba prolly gonna cover the lawsuit themselves.

  27. Fumbled the bag. Should’ve crumpled immediately after getting hit.

  28. dragonwhale

    What did the guy say/do? I don’t advocate for violence but there’s a line you don’t cross, even with just words.

  29. Saucypikl

    You can tell jokic’s wife is also fucking over these two

  30. suzakutrading

    If i were Jokic i’d be so pissed at my brother right now for:

    1. Committing any sort of violence with my wife and baby daughter in the vicinity.

    2. Being a distraction at the most inopportune time.

    I’d tell him to stay away for a while.

  31. CO_PC_Parts

    I’ve said this before. One of his brothers, namarija, used to do mma and I’m 100x more scared of the other one, Sasha. When I lived in Denver I went to a decent amount of games and we had good seats and access to the Lexus club.

    Sasha is at every game and the other one is at most of them. We’d run into them in Lexus club and have had shots with them or beers and say what’s up. They party a lot! And not just booze.

    I’m sure at some point they’re gonna get banned, or forced to watch from a suite and not interact with other fans.

  32. Rabbit_Mayor

    Those dudes are unhinged, it was just a matter of time.

  33. arenasfan00

    Doing this in front of your brothers wife and 2 year old daughter is disgusting. Doing this is disgusting, period.
