Over the course of Jokić's seven seasons immediately preceding the 2022 offseason, Denver was plus-5.5 points per 100 possessions with the big man on the floor and minus-4.5 when he was off. (That 9.0-point swing balloons to 20.2 over the last three seasons, but that number's not relevant for this conversation).

However, it is well known that Jokic is not completely obsessed with the game, like a lot of his peers. He is routinely seen enjoying other activities like horse racing, even more than his NBA successes.
