The guy you shouldn’t mess with: Who is Strahinja Jokic, who caused the incident after the game in Denver? – Sports

As can be seen in the videos that appeared on social networks, Strahinja jumped over several chairs in the stands, and then hit an unknown man, while Nemanja “guarded his back”.

Nikola’s wife Natalija tried to calm down the enraged brothers-in-law while holding her daughter in her arms, but walked away when she realized that these two had decided to do what they had planned. If there was anything there that could be connected to the mind.

The Denver police are trying to identify the person who was the victim of the attack and who left the hall after being hit in the head, and, as they announced, no one has filed an official report against Strahinja, which will depend on whether this case will end up in court.

Regardless of the police investigation, it is expected that the NBA will investigate the case and punish the bullies, because Jokic’s brothers have long been considered to have a short fuse in America and have been involved in several major and minor incidents during Denver games.

As a rule, Strahinja is the one who is ready to fight with someone from the audience or threaten the players of the opposing team who have some disagreement with Nikola during matches, while Nemanja is usually by her brother’s side, in case of need.

At the end of 2019, Strahinja was arrested for physically assaulting a girl in his apartment. The media wrote at the time that after a heated discussion, the woman wanted to leave the apartment, but he did not allow her. When she went out on the terrace to call for help, Strahinja allegedly grabbed her by the neck and started to strangle her.

She tried to call the police, but he took her phone away, so in the end she sent a message via computer to an acquaintance, who immediately informed the police and Strahinja was arrested.

He was charged with second-degree assault, pleaded guilty to two counts and received a deferred sentence, meaning he will face no sentence as long as he follows the rules of unsupervised probation.

The deadline that the court then gave him was February 3, 2022, after which the proceedings were dismissed.

Nikola Jokić’s older brother was born in 1982, is 213 centimeters tall and also played basketball. He played for several different teams in Serbia, however, due to injury problems, he ended his career early.

That’s why he devoted himself to the career of his youngest brother and, without a doubt, played a key role in his development, because together with Nemanja, he invested time and effort to make the darling of the Sombor family accept working habits and change his eating habits.

– When we first established contact, I went to Sombor, found the player’s family and talked to them. That family is a great, very stable, old-fashioned Serbian family, which really takes very good care of the children. They were very happy because such a big agency was interested in a kid who, by the way, had never been to a first team training session. And they accepted to approach the agency, but they wanted to see me – Nikola’s manager Miško Ražnatović said in an interview, and then added:

– Two days later they came, we talked, very good chemistry was created. Especially when it comes to Strahinja, his older brother, he was there. At that moment, he was very important for that decision and for many other decisions. In Serbia, too, he helped him a lot to become what he is, and it was very difficult.

Strahinja’s body is covered with tattoos, his hairstyle resembles the one worn by Robert De Niro in the role of Travis Bickle in the movie Taxi Driver, so the appearance characteristic of what is called “white thrash” in America attracts attention and instills fear.

– They are not guys you should mess with – once commented on the behavior of Strahinja and Nemanja, former teammate of Nikola, Danilo Gallinari.
