Short story about destiny! This is Nikola Jokic, double NBA MVP, at about five years of age in his hometown of Sombor, Serbia. Back in 2000, when this photo was taken, he is wearing a @nuggets sweatshirt - not because he loved basketball or even knew about the Nuggets - but because he got it as a present. Chances of a kid from a small Serbian town having a sweatshirt from a lesser known American team back in 2000 were minimal (unless we're talking about famous clubs such as @lakers or @bulls). Chances of anyone knowing about the Nuggets in a small Serbian town were next to nothing. But chances of that same kid growing up to play basketball and achieve his career high, win two MVP titles and sign a historic agreement with the same club whose sweatshirt he wore at age five, were - zero. It is true that winners create their own fate, make the impossible possible and write the pages of history through exceptional dedication, hard work, sacrifice, confidence and willingness to do more than others.
But sometimes, a little destiny plays a big role in the overall outcome.

Prica o sudbini zapisanoj u zvezdama. Nikola Jokic. Sombor. Srbija, neke 2000. godine, petogodisnjak u duksu Denver Nagetsa, tima za koji ce 22 godine kasnije potpisati najveci ugovor u istoriji svetske kosarke, do danas. Sanse da decak iz Sombora uopste dobije duks malo poznatog tima iz Amerike davne 2000-e godine su bile male. Sanse da je neko u Somboru cuo (ili navijao) za Nagetse, jos manje. Ali sanse da ce decak koji tada nije ni pokazivao ljubav prema kosarci, igrajuci upravo u tom klubu osvojiti dve uzastopne MVP titule u najjacoj ligi na svetu i potpisati super maks ugovor su bile ravne nuli. Pa opet, sve se bas tako desilo. Ljudi koji ispisuju stranice istorije, kreiraju svoje sudbine, cine nemoguce mogucim, prvenstveno zbog toga sto su spremni da rade vise i jace od drugih, da budu maksimalno fokusirani na cilj ispred sebe, da imaju veru u sebe i...prepoznaju znakove na putu, koji im je na neki nacin ipak bio zapisan u zvezdama.
