The two of them reminded people of that fact on Monday night.

Following Jamal Murray’s game-winner over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game Two, footage from the stands shows Nikola Jokic’s brother Strahinja making his way through the crowd to a fan/ He first appears to throw a kick before throwing a vicious punch that looked like it did not connect.

Fans would soon get between them, so no violence would kick off.

No one knows for sure if that guy was heckling them or how the situation kicked off before the cameras started rolling.

The Denver Nuggets defied all odds Monday night at Ball Arena, overcoming a 20-point third-quarter deficit to beat the Los Angeles Lakers. Nikola Jokic had a double-double at the end of the first quarter with 10 points and 10 rebounds and recorded a triple-double in the middle of the fourth quarter and finished with 27 points, 20 rebounds, and ten assists, is ESPN.com.

In the end, Nikola Jokic’s teammate, Jamal Murray, would end up being the hero as he broke down Anthony Davis on the final play for a step-back shot that hit nothing but net to end the game and send the fans in Ball Arena into a frenzy.

Nikola Jokic’s older brothers, Strahinja and Nemanja, have followed their brother’s basketball career ever since he got into the league.

The brothers gained notoriety in 2021 when they opened a Twitter account solely to reply to messages sent by the Morris twins. Markieff Morris hard-fouled Nikola Jokic during a Nuggets vs. Heat game. Jokic then ran and shoved Markieff in the back, igniting a confrontation between the two teams on the court.

Marcus Morris Sr. tweeted about the incident. “Waited till bro turned his back smh. NOTED.”

Strahinja and Nemanja responded, “You should leave this the way it is instead of publicly threatening our brother! Your brother made a dirty play first,” they wrote.

 “If you want to make a step further, be sure we will be waiting for you !!”
