When you are a Serbian basketball player, you don't have to wait until you are 50 to succeed in life… The newspaper Blic reports that Nikola Jokic gave each of his teammates a Rolex watch worth $32,500 after winning bronze at the Paris Olympics.
Since there were 11 on the roster, that comes to a bill of $357,500 for the 2023 MVP. Remember that Jokic will earn $51 million next season, and this gift will not weigh too heavily on his personal finances.
Like Kobe Bryant in 2008
A gesture reminiscent of Kobe Bryant's. In 2008, the late Lakers guard gave a watch worth about $10,000 to all his teammates. It was the Master Compressor Chronograph model by Jaeger-LeCoultre. That year, the Lakers lost in the finals to Kevin Garnett's Celtics, but Kobe made a point of thanking his teammates for helping him win the MVP trophy. The only one on his list of achievements.
