Nikola Vucevic is a prominent member of the Orlando Magic and he is evidently an avid fan of the Star Wars series. While sharing a humorous story on Twitter, Vucevic joked that he divorced his wife after she disrespected Yoda.
My son has a Star Wars crib sheet and my wife asked him “where is the frog” while pointing at Yoda and now we’re divorced

Vucevic has been one of the most underrated players in the NBA since joining the Magic in 2012. After being drafted in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers, Vucevic was traded to Orlando after just one season in Philadelphia.
In his eight seasons with the Magic, Vucevic has averaged 17.1 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and one block per game. Just a season ago, he produced 19.6 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 62 games for Orlando.
Ahead of the 2019-2020 season, Vucevic declared that he wanted to improve his offensive game by taking more three-pointers for the Magic. The former first-round selection chucked up a career-high 4.7 three-point attempts per game last season, making 33.9 percent of them.
Besides shooting more on the perimeter, Vucevic also signed a four-year, $100 million extension with the Magic before the 2019 season. Given that, he's under contract with the team through the 2022-2023 season, with him set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2023.
Seeing that Vucevic plays in Florida with the Magic, he likely spends time in Disney World and Disney Land. Therefore, he probably spends time at the Star Wars rides and events that take place at both venues. While he seems to be an avid fan of Star Wars, it's apparent that Vucevic has likely watched The Mandalorian series by himself.
