“HORSES,” A POEM BY THE DENVER NUGGETS’ CENTER NIKOLA JOKIC, 2-TIME MVP, 4X ALL-STAR, 4X ALL-NBA, AND CURRENT TRIPLE-DOUBLE LEADER WHO JUST SANK A STEP-BACK THREE TO DEFEAT THE ORLANDO MAGIC WITH 0.2 SECONDS LEFT ON THE CLOCK

Ever since I was a child,
I fell in love with these beasts so wild.
 
They're big and beautiful, strong and free,
And they like apples from the apple tree.
 
I love to race them down the track,
The sun feels good on both of our backs. 
 
When we finally get back to the stable,
I always clean them up as best as I am able. 
 
Horses are beautiful, strong, and free.
I know my love for horses will always be.
