JOKIĆ THROWS A PARTY IN CHINA: Serbian Ace Races “Bullet Train” and Wins, Check out the Hilarious Video!

“A bullet train hit you, Gavranić, and you’re still racing passenger trains.” This iconic line from the film “Barking at the Stars” (based on Milovan Vitezović’s book) can almost perfectly describe Nikola Jokić in China.

The three-time NBA MVP is having a blast in China and decided to create a mini-game at a train station.

A Race Against Speed

He decided to race a “bullet train,” so named for its pointed nose and the speed it develops. Jokić sprinted as the train entered the station, and it was clear he found it incredibly amusing to push himself into another sprint like this.

When asked if he triumphed in the “race,” he replied briefly:

“Of course I did,” the Serbian center stated.

Naturally, an official announcement arrived stating that one must not cross the yellow line, which Jokić respected in the video.

See the moment for yourself. These Chinese trains, by the way, can reach speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour.
