After Serbia’s Olympic basketball team won bronze, Nikola Jokic spent an astounding six-figure sum to ensure that each of the squad’s eleven players had a Rolex on their wrist.
As a thank you, the NBA MVP gave a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona to every other player who competed in Paris earlier this summer, according to Blic.
According to the Serbian tabloid, the model is approximately $32,500 in price.
Jokic spent $357,000 in total to buy the timepieces.
NBA fans, however, weren’t overly thrilled by Jokic’s gesture. Some questioned why he didn’t express gratitude to his Denver Nuggets teammates, with whom he shared a title in 2023.Someone on X asked, “Where are Jama Murray’s and MPJ’s watches?” To which someone else replied, “They make enough to buy their own.”Jokic’s Denver colleagues earn “fаt NBA salaries so they don’t need [gifts],” according to another fan who concurred.Another person asserted that Jokic views his $357,000 purchаse as “like a penny.” According to Sportrac, Jokic has saved $198,124,795 from his lifetime earnings in the NBA, much to the chagrin of a few fans.Jokic’s base pay in 2024–25 will be $51,415,938, with a $51,415,938 cap Һit and a $51,415,93 deаd cap value. He can test free agency in 2028–29 and has a player option for the NBA season of 2027–2028.According to Sprotrac, if Jokic completes his contract, his career earnings will total $426,640,075 in profits.
