Nikola Jokic is the youngest son of a registered nurse and an agricultural engineer. His father Branislav Jokic was who got Nikola into basketball; however, his older brothers Nemanja and Strahinja also played an important role.

Nikola Jokic’s two older brothers are Nemanja and Strahinja Jokic, ages 36 and 38, respectively. 6’6″ Nemanja Jokic is a former Division I player and Strahinja played a couple of years in Europe. Nemanja born on August 26, 1984, played alongside Darko Milicic in a Serbian Club when they were teenagers; Nemanja attended Mechanical School in Serbia before attending Detroit Mercy.

Strahinja Jokic got himself in a drunken incident with a woman in October 2019, in which he ended up arrested after she called 911. Both of Nikola’s brothers are regularly in the stands cheering for him, Strahinja put his life on hold and relocated to Belgrade, when a then 17-year-old Nikola joined Mega Basket.

“When Nikola came to Belgrade, he was 17½ and was really, really (a) kid and not mature. Strahinja practically left all his life to live with him and be his support.” Said Misko Raznatovic, Mega Vizura owner.

 

Strahinja, he was locomotive of his career. Nikola was young, a bit sensitive because he didn’t know the world, he didn’t know the street … but Strahinja, on other hand, he did. He was just barging through life in some difficult moments and Nikola was just following him. … Sometimes, (Nikola) found it very difficult to practice. … We have jokes about that. When Strahinja wants to push Nikola to work hard, he always wanted to take him on the side and ask him, ‘Nikola, can you give me a minute? I want to say something.’ Nikola always knew what it was all about. Added Nebojsa Vagic, Nikola’s godfather and basketball coach in Serbia.
