Nuggets player Nikola Jokic is causing a stir because he got into a fight with Luka Doncic during the game against Goran Dragic

On Sunday, several NBA stars were in attendance at recently retired guard Goran Dragic's “Night of the Dragon” game held in Slovenia. Slovenian star Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks and reigning league MVP Nikola Jokic were two of the names in attendance at Dragic's celebration, which also included former NBA legends like Chris Bosh.

Doncic and Jokic have long been known to have a friendly relationship despite being arguably the two best players in the NBA. That camaraderie continued during this weekend's festivities, as the two could be seen sharing several lighthearted moments together, according to RP Salao of Larry Brown Sports.

At one point, Jokic poured water on Doncic while the two were sitting on the bench.

The two were also teammates during the game and had some fun plays on the court, including a fast break attempt (which was actually more like a slow break) where neither player actually wanted to shoot the basketball.

Jokic also threw an alley oop from the backboard and finished with a dunk, something he almost never manages in the NBA.

Even though Doncic and Jokic are among the toughest competitors on the NBA court, Saturday's game was a reminder that they both have a more lighthearted side, too.

In addition to the names already mentioned, Dirk Nowitzki, Nikola Vicevic, Boban Marjanovic, Robin Lopez and Bogdan Bogdanovic were also present.

Meanwhile, Goran Dragic enjoyed a highly successful NBA career that included stints with the Phoenix Suns and the Miami Heat, whom he led to the NBA Finals during the 2020 NBA bubble season.

The impact Dragic had on his time in the NBA was certainly noticeable on Saturday.
