Hi guys, my name is Michele I want to tell you about my encounter with the strongest player in the world.
A few days ago a horse racing enthusiast friend of mine informed me that Nikola Jokic would be at the Agnano racecourse, in Naples, to follow a race of Emily Pan, the youngest horse in his stable.
In order not to be completely clueless, the same day I went to buy a Nuggets tank top. In one of the few shops in the city that sell them, they had only one model from Denver, from only one player: the 15… by Carmelo Antony.
Even though I knew I couldn't entice him with a tank top that wasn't his, I went to the racecourse and as soon as I saw it I immediately showed it to him asking for an autograph. The answer is a resounding no. He tells me he's tense because his horse would soon be running and he didn't want distractions.
To avoid annoying him I walk away waiting for the race to finish. The problem is that it's not going very well, and when I see him dark in the face returning to his garage, I think it's time to leave. This time I'm far away and there are a few other people with me, all out taking videos and photos. I try again screaming "Nikola, just an autograph I swear!" but he points his finger at no, he just seems very disappointed by the race.
I decide to leave but a friend of mine to whom I will be indebted forever suggests what will be the wisest idea of the day.
Don't laugh, please.
We go to a supermarket and buy two Peroni beers. Let's go back to the racecourse, Jokic is always near his horse. I yell at him "Joker, I have a gift for you!" with Peroni in hand. This time he smiles at me, raises his thumb and with his hand invites me to enter.
We talked for 10 minutes drinking beer together, he told me that his horse didn't make a good impression but it promises well and he is confident that he has 5 more and will relax in the next few days to follow them in other races.
I swear, I've never seen such a sudden change in mood between showing him the Denver tank top and when I came back with the beers. It's funny, I know, but it was incredible and I still can't believe it.
Ah…in the end he signed the tank top
