Nikola Jokic might be the biggest new sensation in the NBA this year. He’s not just a player who is really good — he’s a sensational 6’10 passer who is leading Denver into relevancy. That’s a player we can all fall in love with.
Nikola Jokic threw TWO absurd no-look passes over his shoulder in the same game
How did Jokic become a Serbian sensation and the Nuggets’ best passer? We can explain that.
We’ve seen him throw passes for the Denver Nuggets without looking over his shoulder. He did that ...
... and he did it again.
Hot damn. Those were both arguably even better than his first one, which was absurd and incredible all at once. His first one didn’t result in an assist, but it really wasn’t his fault — the pass was maybe a touch too high, but clearly manageable.
How has Jokic been able to become this dominant? We can explain.
That’s a good, thorough look at how Jokic started as a second-round stab in the dark for Denver, and ended up as a Serbian sensation. Now you know!
Jokic finished with a casual 30 points on 12-of-18 shooting with 17 rebounds and five assists in Friday’s 125-117 win over Indiana.
