[Highlight] Jokic drops a behind the back pass to Spencer Jones for the lay in
This looks like he’s ready to throw a regular forehand entry pass and then mid-motion decides that the other angle is better so he throws it behind-the-back. The fact that he can both see that AND make the adjustment so the pass is still good is fucking astounding.
this mf’s arm is actually a lacrosse stick
Dude’s out here inventing new pass types mid-air lol
I think it’s a calculated feint
Edit: a word
Feint
That’s what I love about Jokic’s fancy passes. They aren’t fancy because he’s showing off, they’re fancy because that’s the only way the ball gets to the other player safely.
Everyone knows he has a crazy arm but his vision doesn’t get talked about enough. Dude has deer peripherals.
Chill. Its a basic behind the back pass. Even a grade schooler can do that on drills and practices or random pick up game.Thing is few are brave enough to attempt passes like that on an actual game what more in a pro nba game. Just do it, have the intention to do it, anyone in the nba can do that, they just don’t attempt or care much like jokic.. Stop the glazinggg. I guess being a superstar help coz even you fail that pass no one will judge hence he has the greenligght to do this on the regular.
Too much glaze, it’s just a behind the back pass 😂😂
Honest question: do you people even like ball
They never held one, that’s for sure.
Actually, I would say that for yall. Acting like you’ve never seen a behind the back pass ever 😂😂
To be clear, it is a highlight. But a whole paragraph glazing it like this is unwarranted
Actually 🤓☝️
You’re a bot buddy 🤓
Yeah, and my sensors are reading high levels of nephew
Yall sucking the shine off it. This is a pretty standard pass for any nba player. The guy was like five feet away from him and he was standing there open
If it’s standard then why doesn’t this pass happen every game
Because it’s unnecessary probably
If you think that a typical NBA player makes this “standard pass” with two defenders in the immediate vicinity, then you just don’t know ball.
300k karma. Your opinion is dust
I have no idea what this means but I know that you running to my profile to try and find something to shit on instead of just replying to the point makes you a huge loser
Your opinion is dust in the wind
Bait
Funny comment 😂 but some hater shit too
It really isn’t. His pass opened the momentum for his teammate to turn that way, any other pass and Spencer Jones can’t turn there.
Pass momentum is something you learn very early in basketball.
this is his new thing this season lmao
New thing?
New in that he’s doing it like 5x per game.
As a nugg enthusiast, he’s throwing way more behind the back passes than I’ve seen previously
Harlem Globetrotters @ Nuggets when
You know he took some horses out to practice these moves over the summer
Bored in class playing with the fidget spinner.
How can you not love watching him play
It’s the crowd reaction for me. Home and away games, he’ll do something that gets the whole crowd to react unanimously. So cool.
He was playing my team. That’s how.
Jokes aside, Spurs were either soft doubling or hard doubling before the catch(!), and playing 3-on-4 with the others. As a result Cam Johnson was lighting our ass up. I still think Jokic was frustrated the whole game, he kept making the right passes and… bricks. Nuggs sure miss AG (and some others too).

Why don’t you just get off the internet and enjoy the game?
Counterpoint - just watch the fucking game and enjoy it, and don’t go to the game threads.
lol it’s like a multi day thing. I’ve learned my lesson.
no one asked for this confession..
..and you shouldn’t have provided it.
Yeah you’re right
Watch, now we get to see all the bs when we are missing our two best defensive players.
Jokic highlights are goated
Yeah he did it again
He’s a magician with the ball
Serbian Messi
They’ll never sing that~~
Magic Joker 🃏
Not as good as the Memphis one
Better imo
Yeah Spencer’s defender is actually facing the direction of the ball but still couldn’t stop it
Eh the Memphis one might compete for one of the most ‘gasp’ moments I had watching a pass of his live. Was way more pressured and the adjustment mid-motion didn’t even look real.
This one is also very good though
I think context matters. The Memphis one was in the clutch and Memphis having a run almost catching up the game. I think everyone and their grandmas are expecting Jokic to iso this possession trying to score because thats what superstars do in clutch moments and he was running two mens game with Jamal too. I dont think anyone would expect a pass on that play.
Absolutely necessary pass!
HOF dimer
Manipulates the defense so well he sees the play before it happens.
I thknk this is even better than his Memphis pass wtf.
put the ball where only his guy could get it, and put him in perfect position to score, and all with a behind the back pass he came up with on the fly
Shaq somewhere hating because he can’t do that
People say he doesn’t like basketball and I think he’s just bored and wants to see how to make the game fun and also win.
Another magnificent pass , back to back games
Best passer of all time
Bro is just trying anything and it’s working
Nah he does the EXACT thing you fucking need to get the ball perfect in your hands
Memphis pass was more of a mind fuck, but this is still outrageous
I don’t like this bad man
Just out there messing around
Bro just trying everything
Jokic is back with a back-to-back behind the back!
He can’t keep getting away with this!
These courts are so ugly
I see that Dimer badge activate. Jones was making that no matter what

Jokic is hands-down my favorite non-Spurs player to watch since Jordan. Any time you watch the Nuggets you know you’re gonna see at least one insane play like that.
Seriously, I’ve again watched Magic passing highlights and there’s no way he’s better passer then Joker. I’ll give Magic he was transition maestro but everything else it’s Joker and there is a gap overall.
Jokic adding a behind the back pass in his alreayd ATG passing means he can go behind the basket and cannot get doubled on the specific angle or be posted up.
Perfect ball position to get the lay too.
Oh wow. Big honey with the passes
Definitely not as amazing as the Memphis pass but still great. Feel like he’s maybe be able to make this pass forehand but it’d be dangerous so doing it backhand is somehow safer lol
Just stop it! Stop it right now!
Yeah this was a good one
This mvp race is crazy.
Idk why but when he’s taking the ball up the court here, he just looks like a big ol goof.
And then he throws that pass and you remember he’s one of the best basketball players on the planet.
Now and Laters watermelon flavor were good
