Photos of Nikola Jokic being much thinner in comparison to his pre-quarantine self had been making rounds on the internet but nothing prepared us for such an extraordinary transformation.
Jokic attended a farewell exhibition game for his former coach on Mega Bemax Dejan Milojevic in Belgrade, looking to be in an impressive, extremely fit shape. Actually, the Denver Nuggets All-Star center hasn’t appeared so slim in, well, ages.
The match was between the current Mega Bemax team and the Deki Ciao squad that featured former Mega Bemax players coached by Milojevic. Jokic played for Mega Bemax from 2012-2015 before embarking on his NBA career with the Nuggets.
This is how Jokic looked while greeting some of his former teammates.

A few days ago, Nuggets president Tim Connelly said that Jokic looks “beach ready” and that he carries a six-pack for the first time ever. The “Joker” obviously put some serious work on improving his body during the NBA hiatus due to the coronavirus outbreak, losing a lot of weight in the process.
The NBA is planned to resume on July 31 and Jokic shall be unveiling the new version of himself on the court in Orlando, Florida.
