Cousins: Jokic said he would not renew his contract after finishing this contract of 300 million yuan, and he would go back to his hometown in Serbia to lie down flat

August 1, on August 1, former NBA player Cousins was a guest on the podcast program "Straight Game Podcast" and talked about Nuggets star Jokic. He said that Jokic once thought of giving up the $300 million contract renewal and retired to return to Serbia to play horse racing.

Jokic is famous for loving horses, and he loves horse racing far more than playing basketball. He personally owns about 40-45 horses, named "Brenno Laumar" and "Amy Del Duomo", etc., and is distributed in Serbia, France, Italy and other places.

Cousins said on the show that Jokic almost chose to retire before renewing his contract with the Nuggets for maximum salary.

Cousins said: "The truth is, if you have the chance to chat with him, he will tell you something about himself. He will tell you that he doesn't care about these things at all. Playing may be the second or third thing he likes, maybe the third or fourth thing he likes. Many times when he plays crazy numbers, he doesn't want to stay on the court. This is the most terrifying thing about the whole thing.

At that time, I was playing in Denver, and our lockers were close together. I don't remember who just signed a contract extension, and I said to Jokic, 'Brother, your next contract will definitely be crazy', and he said to me, 'Brother, to be honest, I might retire when this contract is over.'

"I said at the time, 'You are going to give up $300 million? You are crazy, brother, please sign it. The worst thing is to be a little fatter in the future, but don’t give up on these 300 million, buddy, don’t do this. ’

“He said, ‘I just want to go back to my hometown and lie down’ , He seemed to call that place 'valley' or something, 'I want to lie there with my horse. 'I said, 'Brother, those horses won't run, waiting for you. Hurry up and get the 300 million US dollars, you can buy more horses and get 300 million, please! '"

In response, netizens said, "You really don't say it, I feel like you can do it with the teacher."

" Jokic: Cousins, you not only have low ball quotient, but also low IQ. I'll brag about you and you take it seriously."

" Cousins: I've had a fake wine"

"I suspect that the Nuggets signed the group of horses first, and Jokie agreed to renew the contract."

"I'm just a joke to meet the fat man, but my stupid cousin actually believed it."

"I'm still a real person who has been having a lot of money for several lifetimes. Why don't I enjoy my life? It's not surprising that he retires after the contract is over. Seeing that he doesn't talk about renewing the contract now, it seems that the news of my cousin is still reliable."
