Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets doesn’t seem like the most talkative and expressive player in the NBA, but the man apparently has quite a taste in music.
According to DeAndre Jordan, via “Run It Back” and NBACentral, Jokic’s favorite song is “Many Men” by 50 Cent.
Jordan said that Jokic “knows the words from start to finish,” which is quite surprising given Jokic’s soft spoken personality.

Throughout his career, Jokic has been known as someone who doesn’t talk a lot, even during his biggest victories.
The idea of him rapping along to a 50 Cent song sounds unlike him but also incredibly endearing.
What are the chances that he will show off his musical skills sometime in the future?
That sounds unlikely, although he has been caught on video dancing and partying with his teammates and residents from his home country of Serbia in the past.
Jokic has every reason to be singing and dancing this year because he is having another MVP-caliber season.
The big man is averaging 30.6 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 9.9 assists per game, shooting 55.5 percent from the field and 47.1 percent from the three-point line.
The Nuggets haven’t been without their struggles, but Jokic has been wildly solid all season.
Jordan has been with the team for three seasons and has grown close to Jokic.
That means he has been able to enjoy performances from him and has seen sides of him that fans never do.
The Nuggets have climbed to the fourth seed in the West, partly because of how great Jokic is.
Many teams and many men have attempted to slow him down, and they have failed.
