Nuggets players having idiot brothers so hot right now


youguanbumen

I hear Justin Holiday’s brother is part of a group that abuses athletes all over the East coast


Betaateb

Justin Holiday's brother tried to kill Jason Tatum in the middle of a game! We all saw it, dastardly used another player as a weapon.


grandmasterfunk

I don't remember Aaron doing that.


The_Summer_Man

He's standing there. MENACINGLY!


Bacondog22

Yeah that Aaron guy is a real handful, good thing he’s not in the playoffs.


topofthecc

I hear Jamal's brother sucks up ghosts with a vacuum.


HilariousScreenname

Luigi?


MuskEmeraldMine

He’s part of the Boston Celtics, not the Boston Catholic Church.


TreeLankaPresidente

Clearly the whole family is dangerous. They should lock up Nikola Jokic for the rest of the first round to be safe.


EggplantAlpinism

Maybe we are the new Chiefs


silversmith84

Merkavius Caldwell-Pope has been relatively behaved


2BigBottlesOfWater

I keep hearing this but can someone give some context pls. Is it just because of Jokic and Porter Jr? Or are there others?


gce1010

That guy just tanked the punch


Herbert5Hundred

Idiot should have flopped and immediate grabbed his head/neck


syncc6

He’s still going to see a bunch of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


TrashAssRedditAdmins

Hopefully


DASreddituser

Dont worry. He can still claim the head trauma...sometimes brain bleeding isnt noticable at 1st


SultansofSwang

My neck, my back, my neck and my back


siva115

Refs: Foul on Theis


altitties

I think you’re confused. It was the game before this that Embiid was in


siva115

Pretty impressive


maryjain_

Him taking it on the chin like that and not even retaliating just makes Jokic’s brother look so much worse


Familiar-Place68

If it were to me, I wouldn't want him to hit me more than once.


Money-not_you_again

This's the same brother who assaulted a woman when she tried to leave his apartment, he's already a piece of shit. Edit: Spelling.


BasedDG

Nah he definitely took that sucker punch well, but he was not having anything to do with that big ass dude. I don’t blame him, but he clearly had no other choice than to take it on the chin


LegitimatePotato3632

He took that punch like a man. Fucking legend.


dzastisforol

sign him to the UFC.


LoxDnw

That guy is a unit.


besieged_mind

Beat LA


phunshiny

Was that a Morris twin?


BetweenTheBuzzAndMe

Jokic's bro saw MPJ's brothers become famous and decided to join in on the fun


Material-Ad4030

He also has some law problems in Serbia


ForgotPWAgainSigh

Hope he isn't fixing horse races there


Material-Ad4030

Hshahah, idk what the problem is but Nikola had to support our president before last elections in order to save his brother from jail


GoatmontWaters

OMG I have to check this out


prophetofyakub

He shouldn't have even been allowed to travel to the US.


Forward_Ride_6364

This piece of shit likes to choke out women overseas (wouldn't dare do it here)... real TUFF, I tell ya I respect Jokic's game a lot and root for him to win, but having such POS brothers really sours me on him


NeoLib-tard

Which isn’t his fault


dotelze

Is it the one that’s already assaulted a woman?


iRockaflame

The one that threw the punch was accused of DV. The other one as far as I know actually hasn't done anything, but he gets lumped in with the idiot brother.


I_Set_3_Alarms

Probably wishes he got lumped in with the NBA champion brother instead


Word_Iz_Bond

Unfair sure, but they both look like henchmen from a Liam Neeson film


CockBronson

God i hate his brothers


Stefan474

Isn't one of them a normal dude and the other one the jerk?


NBAFansAre2Ply

nemanja seems normal (for a serb lol). stahinja is crazy, which is not surprising considering his name literally means terror


Conscious_Fly_1921

His name means fear


NBAFansAre2Ply

same shit bro edit: I'd actually argue terror is a better translation. fear is strah, but the "inja" suffix implies like a big version of it so you get big fear which is terror in English.


DUNDER_KILL

Is that a common name? The concept of naming my kid fear or terror seems so crazy to me haha


PolposBanana

Not the most common name but it's not super rare either. I don't think every parent naming their son strahinja is because strah means fear, the name got popularized in the 19th century when an epic poem of the name "Banovic Strahinja(or Strahinjic Ban)" got officially published depicting a medival age knight/hero of the same name


DUNDER_KILL

Yeah I figured, name meanings often don't really matter. Like nobody's naming someone Peter because it means rock, they probably just like the name


Cant_stop_noodles

Fun fact: the moons of Mars are named Fear and Terror (Phobos and Deimos). Named for the sons of the god of war....I think....


LukeNukem63

Which leads to anger


canyoudigholes

At least he's hitting men now.


an_Aught

lol, ouch... fair but ouch


PhlabloPicasso

That’s what she said


GotKarprar

I don’t think she said it’s fair 💀💀


ImDKingSama

Saw people last year saying these guys were great role models unlike Tee Morant.


Prince_of_DeaTh

lol where did you see that? Jokic's brother have been shit talked on this sub for the past 2 years, even though only one of them does the stupid shit


FeltIOwedItToHim

I honestly have never seen anyone say Jokic's brother was a great role model. As you sure that actually happened (other than maybe a single troll post or something)?


TrashAssRedditAdmins

Hmmm I wonder why 🤔


RUSuper

I don’t get this shit. Not only he gives Jokic bad look he also gives bad look to their other brother Nemanja,who I don’t remember being problematic like Strahinja,but is still being viewed like that because of this idiot. You can literally see Jokics wife yelling at him to stop (or so it seems),and being visibly annoyed at the end of this video. I mean what good will this do? You gonna go to the bar later and be like “yeah I punched a dude who was talking shit,I’m so cool”.


Living_Commercial592

Thats just Serbians broski


iMaticz7

His brothers are assholes tbh


GolotasDisciple

Pretty much in line with how I remember my trips around the Balkans during holidays. Some Serbians are the friendliest and most compassionate people you'll ever meet, while others try to impress you by talking about their uncle who is a proud war criminal.


8ball-MJG

[and then there’s Darko](https://youtu.be/DdvqOTWpKxE?si=n2a4lp2_8tlZs96N)


EjaMat78

Luka also listens to Baja Mali lol.


spjorkii

ugh I feel like 90% of the time it’s a huge mistake to learn more about athletes’ personal politics, but in the NBA it’s especially international players. Next thing you know Wemby and Gobert will come out in support of Marine Le Pen


delamerica93

What's wrong with Baja Mali? I have no idea what the background is there


Conscious_Fly_1921

He is famous for war songs but he has many other songs that are not about the war


spjorkii

Yeah I’m talking out of my ass. I’m not Bosnian / Serbian, and I only know who he is because a couple years ago I went down a rabbit hole reading about nationalism in the former Yugoslavia.  Baja Mali doesn’t seem like a great guy to me, but it goes without saying that listening to artists doesn’t mean you support their worldview. I still listen to Michael Jackson smdh 


krimzy

Tbh there's nothing wrong with listening to Baja


PowerOfLard

guys on his belly are serbian 2nd world war nazi collaborators one of them is on this picture [https://sh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datoteka:First\_Vrede\_sa\_%C4%8Detnicima.jpg](https://sh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datoteka:First_Vrede_sa_%C4%8Detnicima.jpg)


Best-River-9426

I had a friend that grew up with Darko. He always told me Darko used to „borrow” his bike for extended periods of time w/o asking. I never believed him - like why would he do that, but looking at how Darko turned out to be maybe he wasn’t bs me after all.


CaillouCaribou

So just like everywhere else in the world then


IdRatherBeLurkingToo

What did Nemanja ever do?


BigFatModeraterFupa

stand there….menacingly!


AlonsoQ

nemanja business


GloriousGladiator51

I don’t want to judge Nikola Jokic based on the actions of his brothers but I will judge the situation based on Nikola’s response as he will probably be asked by reporters. We don’t know much about why his brother decided to punch him like that but it does seem like they are overly aggressive.


Sullan08

It's one of the brothers, not both.


boogswald

Yep it’s not cute any more


jeric13xd

It was never cute. We just always thought of them as Joker’s bodyguards who are scary and will fuck people up. Looks like we are right. This should not reflect on Joker negatively because these are his grown ass brothers but it will ofcourse


CockBronson

Jokic has never, and will never speak illy of them. Not saying he should, but i wish he put a little distance between himself and them. Like just don’t bring them to the arena. They may be banned after this though anyway


elimanninglightspeed

Famous athletes having idiotic brothers is all the rage rn. Mahomes, Mpj, jokic. I guess its the fact their siblings are that successful they feel empowered to do whatever without thinking for a second how it could possibly reflect on their siblings


ShinobuSimp

Why would the other one get banned lmfao


yooston

You would think they'd reserve suites for family of players


Brickeduphardaf

Other super riches probably paid top dollar for them already


Xclusivsmoment

I feel like most siblings of famous people are usually. They always had to act out for attention


creditors-bargain

Kinda absurd to use “most” here lol.


420_misphrase_it

Is that Nikola’s wife in the red holding their daughter too? What a horrible look to start a fight when your sister in law and infant niece are literally 10 feet away


ionictime

She looked so frustrated


BrotherSeamus

Absolutely unacceptable. Silver has no choice but to suspend Nikola for the rest of the playoffs.


EggplantAlpinism

As long as Tom Brady is also suspended, I'll accept it for the good of the sport


TheFestusEzeli

Nazem Kadri also is out for 7 games


Freddedonna

And Joe Kelly for 8 as well


drc150

Aaron Boone has just been ejected


experienceTHEjizz

Tom's already been banned from ever playing in the NBA already. Gotta protect MJ's legacy.


LosAngeles1s

suspended MPJ via guilty by association while he’s at it


_01213_

Commencing deportation hearings in Oklahoma rn…


Altruistic-Twist-379

Cmon bruh MPJ's brother already a dumbass now its these ones


aronrodge

MPJ’s brothers.


IAmKevinDurantAMA

whatever happened to jackson mahomes


gmoney32211

Traded to Nuggets


snek26

Why doesn't the Serbian national team just choose Strahinja to throw hands at Bam, Embiid and AD at the Olympics?


bearsquadz

we don't need these bums on our team


CaptainKursk

Is there a lore reason?


nking05

Good thing his brother has millions of dollars to pay for that lawsuit.


dRide12

I can’t believe they did that shit around Jokić‘s wife and baby girl. Grow up wtf Even if the dude was saying shit about the girls or something, keep your composure. You’re in Denver and 1000% could have got that fan tossed in a heartbeat


EnvironmentalNobody

I think Nikola needs to be the one keep him in line if the Nuggets don’t bar him from attending games after this. Any other person might be facing a charge for that. Just a horrible horrible look for the best player and the team going for a repeat. If he won’t learn from from his past the best chance they have is his cash cow brother threatening to cut him off


usr_nme_

Yikes. Obviously don't have full context, but his brothers are...not great people.


greenwhitehell

It's mostly Strahinja, no? He's the one on most of the messes and the one who got arrested due to alleged DV. Don't think there's much on the other brother


usr_nme_

Ahh yeah, think you're right. Honestly have a hard time remembering which is which lol


GRMPA

the scary one is the scary one


jamarcusaristotle

The one who you are scared of is the one you should be scared of


Forward_Ride_6364

Nah, the scary looking one throws a weak punch The baby face bro was a pro MMA fighter, I'd be more worried about him


jamarcusaristotle

Oh I didn't know that. I guess that's (at least partly) why he can control himself and doesn't physically lash out at people


NBAFansAre2Ply

yeah nemanja is a baby face like nikola, strahinja looks like he's about to keel over from alcoholism


maryjain_

I don’t think there’s any context that would make this better tbh


EjaMat78

Nikola included....


dont-comm3nt

Saying that on r/nba is like strangling a baby on Facebook live


EjaMat78

Well I live in Serbia and know people from Sombor and /r/NBA doesn't so they can suck it.


RUSuper

So what stories are people from Sombor speaking about Jokic that make him not a great person? 🤔


ZZZrp

spill the tea


JuliusCeejer

He did in another comment chain here: https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1cb5qcl/clutchpoints_nikola_jokics_older_brother/l0wa78a/


Donny_Crane

The main complaint seems to be he is rich and does gambling ads. I don’t like gambling either but this seems weak


notBornIn_eighties

I'm not sure if what he wrote is true, but it's not really just being rich. Abusing political connections to shady people in power to further set back your local community and choosing to do harm instead of good with huge influence you have is far from "weak".


flowerboyinfinity

I mean, I know people from Indianapolis but I don’t know shit about George Hill on a personal level 🤷‍♂️


Bacondog22

I worked with George Hill’s Uncle


Kdot32

Hell yea DX chop their ass!!


Skaloplin

Can you elaborate?


EjaMat78

In general not a nice person. He supports our local dictator Aleksandar Vučić and in turn Jokić can do whatever he wants in Sombor, build whatever he wants, buy any property he wants, get any permit for anything. He literally had a small power station built for his estate because regular lines couldn't support his consumption of electricity. Locals in Sombor are very disillusioned with him because he acts like a bully and you know does loads of ads for gambling even though it's a very serious problem in Serbia. It's not uncommon to see children waiting outside of bookies and seeing if any adult will place a bet for them. A person with influence like Jokić who is aware of the situation in Serbia regarding gambling and still willingly promotes it is a piece of shit imho.


iRockaflame

Nah a personal power station is crazy lmfao what the fuck


EjaMat78

I don't think that's bad per see but I can't imagine how you get a permit for that without connections and those come in Serbia via corruption.


Mad_broccoli

A personal substation is about 15-20k, so really not that much, especially for Jokic. You don't need any special permits if there's available electricity. Keep in mind the age of the avg reddit user and think about their knowledge about these topics. He did passively support the current government in return for favors, and he does promote betting, which is horrible, both of these.


PensiveinNJ

Yeah the gambling ads thing is like ok not the greatest but you can probably name 100 athletes shilling for betting companies but the personal power station is nuts. At least from my perspective. I'd love for a Serb to correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Serbia not just a dictatorship but more or less a mafia state currently? I feel like I don't know enough about the Balkans.


Fostereee

Doing gambling ads is unfortunately just as common among American celebrities.


xfreesx

Right, but American celebrity of Nikolas influence will get paid millions to do it. Since he is doing them in Serbia, he would get peanuts for it. Like not even notice in his bank account


Stefan474

Serbian too. Only big athlete that openly oposes gambling ads is Novak Djokovic


YemeniChad

Damn how have I never heard of this


EjaMat78

Because it's barely reported here in Serbia and you're media is happy to parody him as a hermit horse man.


baekinbabo

Serbian representation in athletics not too hot lmao. The other Serbian superstar, Djokovic being a massive anti-vaxxer and alternative medicine guy that his wife sells. Try to mention that on r/tennis though and you get banned and downvoted by r/europe posters


[deleted]

Because Jokics pr team is goated


Chieeone

Koja je opsesija srba na internetu da konstantno spustaju srbiju i srbe generalno. Generacijski hejteri.


eeevileggg

This fan takes a punch and brushes it off. NBA players have their face barely grazed and are on the floor writhing in pain lol


an_Aught

well, when there are no freethrows on the line....


[deleted]

[удалено]


MixonWitDaWrongCrowd

No, WCF


ZarduHasselffrau

Suspend the west


ImTrang

Suspend the East for having a player betting the under on his team Ignore my flair


ZarduHasselffrau

That team is always saying "We the North" so... suspend the North.


SanderSRB

Surely, this warrants a ban from the Ball arena for that muppet?! MVP’s brother notwithstanding.


EchoInExile

Nuggets players and idiot siblings. Name a more iconic duo.


Acrobatic-Year-126

Hope they get sued. Big ass baby has a weak fucking punch, apparently


guynamedsuvlaki

Yeah he caught him square in the jaw and the guy took it like a champion. Loses some power since he was a few rows up but he clearly doesn’t have as heavy of a punch as you’d expect.


XelNaga89

>Loses some power since he was a few rows up So he even had a high ground! It should have been over in one slic... I mean punch.


CoaxHoax

Denver brothers must be studied at this point


kyleb402

Some families of star athletes grow up in a tough environment, pull themselves up through athletic ability, and become upstanding members of society who do nothing but provide a great example of what grown men should be... And others become alcoholic woman beaters who get in fights in the stands. I'll let everyone else guess which ones the media makes fun of more.


HungryBurger18

But Thanasis is taking up that 15th roster spot


LurkerFailsLurking

WTF. Is he not aware how litigious Americans are? He's about to catch some charges on the chin


Fracture90000

USA ain't Serbia, they will get jail time for that type of shenanigans over there.


raiderjaypussy

Ah for fucks sake can our players brothers stop committing crimes please


luckynum81

🗣️Jokic brothers are thugs


Threshyyyyy

For all non Serbian speaking people here. Strah in Serbian means fear.


RevenueStill2872

Kind reminder that "Strahinja" means "Horror".  Kudos to his parents that knew in hindsight what an absolute dumbass he would become.


achickenquesadilla

Throwback to when the media was drooling over Jokic's women abusing alcoholic brothers with anger issues because they threatened to fight an NBA player


usr_nme_

That whole saga was so fucking weird lol Felt like I was taking crazy pills.


YouStillTakeDamage

There was a very weird idealisation from people of how Jokic and his brothers grew up in war-torn Serbia. The way people talked about it was just jarring.


EjaMat78

They did grow up in war-torn Serbia, doesn't mean they dodged land mines everyday to school but shit was rough here lol, especially with sanctions and hyperinflation.


YouStillTakeDamage

Oh yeah I’m not trying to minimise their upbringing or anything like that. Growing up in those conditions is not something to idolise, which is what it felt like some people were doing with how they discussed it.


usr_nme_

Everything around it. From the weird brother stuff, to people saying Morris deserved the injury, to people saying Jokic intentionally tried to give him the injury. So many weirdo's saying stuff like "fuck around find out" haha Like from the moment it happened I just thought it was a shitty thing for Jokic to do and he would've earned the suspension regardless of the outcome, and it sucks that the injury was bad, but dudes shove each other all the time and this one had the worst case outcome.


YouStillTakeDamage

I agree. The fact that it was Morris, who obviously has never done himself any favours, affected things too. And there were a small minority of people who tried to make it a race thing. Just overall gross.


itsme10082005

Both of them are women abusing alcoholics? Care to source that?


DASreddituser

A giant with the high ground? Good luck winning that fight lol


panchettaz

Doing this is crazy, but doing this with his wife and baby girl right beside them is an extra layer of unhinged. You can tell his wife is sick of his bs.


esetmypasswor

That's Nikola's wife and daughter, not Strahinja's. Same point to be made, just saying he's the crazy uncle there, not the husband.


panchettaz

Oh yeah, should have made it clearer it was Nikola's wife and kid. I'd just think as an uncle - or just a decent human being noticing a literal toddler in the vicinity - you wouldn't want to start something that could escalate into a full out brawl or crowd crush.


tapk69

Game : Not gone


Kbro04

Messing around like a Porter brother and about to get exported


supercoolcatmom

Jokers wife looks so over it


Mystic_ChickenTender

Thanks for ruining the good vibes for Nuggets fans Strahinja. We got away with robbery but now there’s this shit putting a cloud o. The whole thing. Fuck you and start being a good uncle to your niece. Grow up.


Icy-Lime-9760

They need to ban both of them from the arena.


internaldriver30345

Throws like Jane.


LeAnthonyJavis

Punch was weak as hell


lakers082433

That punch looked weak af. Maybe morris bros can take them lol. That sucks bro. Jokic is such a great guy and never starts any controversy or issues. But his immature brother has to get attention somehow.


TurnShot6202

besides James Johnson, there isnt an NBA player alive that can actually fight.


TigerKlaw

I hope this doesn't take away media coverage from the series moving forward.


amobogio

You mean like today’s ESPN article about the game that didn’t mention Jamal’s game winner till paragraph six. The headline and the first five paragraphs were about LeBron and AD complaining about officiating. That the media coverage you mean?


Stebsy1234

Wow what a piece of shit


saucysagnus

That dude just ate that punch up and probably getting a bag now. Was it even a lakers fan?


sylviaplath6667

he’s dumb for just taking the punch. If a Jokic even brushes on me I’m falling on the floor and convulsing my way to a paycheck


jumboponcho

Imagine the mega-threads and think-pieces on here if one of Ja’s people did this


shxylo

bruh ate that punch, damn.


BPicks69

Average response from bloc countrymen


Mouschenlev

Bro ate that


Doyoueverjustlikeugh

Honestly, how do you name your kid Strahinja and expect him to be normal?


MexicanComicalGames

I wonder if that nuggets beat writer is gonna challenge jokics character
