Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is extremely entertaining on the court, but he may be even more so off of it.

Like most other European players in the league, the Nuggets big man returns to his home country during the offseason. After claiming back-to-back MVP awards, Jokic celebrated by returning to his native Serbia, where he was pictured having some fun.

In a video posted by the Bleacher Report, Jokic can be seen dancing shirtless with his brothers, friends and fans. Jokic performed the so-called "kolo" dance, a popular circle dance in the Balkans. Not even bad weather could rain on his parade.

Despite the Denver Nuggets' lack of postseason success, Jokic remains one of the best players in the league. Last season, he averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game.

These incredible performances earned him a supermax extension worth $264 million, the largest deal in NBA history.

Nikola Jokic to link up with Serbian national team

The Denver center will likely stay in Europe for a while and represent Serbia in the FIBA EuroBasket. He will be one of the biggest stars in the international tournament on his debut.

Jokic last played for the Serbian national team at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 in China.

Nikola Jokic and Serbia will face off against Greece on August 25 and Turkey three days later.

Serbia are currently fifth in the six-team group. Considering that only the top three teams will advance to the World Cup, Jokic and co. will have their work cut out.

The World Cup will be held in Indonesia, Japan, and the Philippines next August and September,
