In the days following the historic agreement, Jokic’s offseason whereabouts populated all sorts of social media channels. He danced shirtless around a fire, went rafting with a few members of his family, and indulged in a giddy karaoke session that was filmed by his wife. His most popular social media sighting, however, came when Raznatovic shared a picture of 5-year-old Nikola, improbably, wearing a Nuggets sweatshirt. The other kid in the photo gave it to Jokic’s father a while ago. He and Raznatovic agreed to hang onto it until a special occasion. That Jokic went on to sign the largest deal in NBA history with the Nuggets, some 22 years later, felt like fate.

Nikola Jokic’s agent Misko Raznatovic confirmed that his client is expected to sign a supermax extension with the Denver Nuggets in 2022 NBA free agency. “According to our expectations, it should be signed this summer. The extension of the maximum amount, what he obviously deserved,” Raznatovic said on the URBONUS podcast. Jokic became eligible for a supermax contract in 2022 or 2023 after winning the MVP award last summer. Per Bobby Marks of ESPN, Jokic’s supermax extension in 2022 is projected to be the largest contract in NBA history, a total of $241M (based on a salary cap of $121.5M).

Raznatovic said he got challenged by Luka Doncic, who organized a nice supermax extension party. He would love to arrange something for Nikola Jokic too.
“But knowing Nikola, probably nothing will happen, and everything will be the same. Just one piece of paper to be signed.” – 2:21 PM

Nikola Jokic is the advanced stat 🐐… literally.
How outrageous has he been for the @Denver Nuggets since the start of last season?

Chris Dempsey @chrisadempsey
The biggest reason the #Nuggets are a season-best 11 games over .500? Outside of Nikola Jokic. It’s they are dominating under .500 competition. The Nuggets are 23-6 vs. those teams — the 5th-best record in the NBA. Meaning 23 of their 36 victories have come in this area. – 12:35 PM

Ja Morant (who is listed at 170 pounds) is one of only two players in the league to score more than 300 points in the paint this season.
The other player is Nikola Jokic. – 9:15 AM

Nikola Jokic last night:
✅ 8 PTS

✅ 11 AST
It’s the second time Jokic has recorded at least 15 rebounds and 10 assists in a game in which he scored fewer than 10 points.

I have absolutely no idea how Nikola Jokic A. knows this pass is there. B. executes this pass. C. puts a no-look pass with spin almost right in Morris’ shooter’s pocket. D. even thinks to throw it from that angle. pic.twitter.com/xMGwgZaN7V – 12:47 AM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Sorry, impact stats included Boogie’s time with Milwuakee despite being chosen by team.
With Boogie on the floor, Denver has a +15.6 net rating in just 89 minutes; still without a single minute with Jokic to elevate his numbers.
His impact is real. – 12:01 AM

More on this storyline

The last time Jokic signed a 5-year, $148M extension with Nuggets in 2018, he just exchanged emails with his agent. This time, if everything goes according to plan, Misko Raznatovic would like to organize a big party. “Luka Doncic organized a nice party for his last contract that put some kind of challenge primarily for me because I am very well known for organizing parties and participating in social life,” Raznatovic smiled. “But knowing Nikola, probably nothing will happen, and everything will be the same. Just one piece of paper to be signed.” -via BasketNews / March 2, 2022
