WHY SO SERIOUS? The Untold Story of NBA Champion Nikola Jokic

This audiobook captures multiple sides of Nikola Jokic, one of the NBA's greatest stars. His story ranges from his upbringing as an unfocused, aloof teen to his focus on the court. Narrator Roger Wayne offers the right amount of emotion for the many folks quoted in this well-researched biography written by a former news reporter who covered Jokic's team, the Denver Nuggets. Coaches, family, and friends from both his native Serbia and the U.S. are also featured. Wayne's narration sounds interested in the subject throughout the entire production, which culminates with Denver's championship in 2023. It's that controlled interest--without over-the-top or roller-coaster emotion--that keeps the listener engaged. M.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2025]
