[Highlight] Nikola Jokic with the absurd no look cross pass to Christian Braun for the longer jumper
the never look pass
The “saw you the whole time” pass
The “you better f——- be there” pass
Signing up my kid for water polo and handball during the hoops offseason immediately
Send him out there with a blindfold half the time so he learns to instinctively know where everybody is at all times
send him 2, 3 years serbia and forget
nikola jokic knows where his teammates are by knowing where his teammates aren’t
My king isn’t giving up the throne just yet
Gotta get the Jokic triple spin floater over time lord on here
Update: I didn’t find replays of it (checked on both the Nuggets and Blazers broadcaat. Unless I missed it)
Heeeeheeeee
You show that to a plumber from 1990 and it’s on highlight reels across the nation for years. Now it’s just a regular Tuesday :/
Absurd ? Its a nice pass but pretty common
Not looking at someone the entire play and firing a no look cross court pass on the money is def not common lol
The difference between his no-look passes and other players’ no-look passes is that he never looks at the person he’s passing to, where as others will focus on their target before looking away briefly, which doesn’t really confuse anyone.
Jokic has talked about this and he’s memorized all the set plays, so he knows a player will be there and if he can count the opposing players in his peripherals, then deductive reasoning would suggest there’s a gap. So he passes like this.
It’s honestly crazy how he does this so accurately. Creates so many good look for guys
More often than not these passes are also into the shooter’s pocket, like that’s just crazy
that’s savant level basketball IQ, that’s so cool
I think it’s also more obvious his no-looks are genuinely no-looks given how often his teammates are surprised by the ball (even when they catch it lol)
other players can do proper no-looks, and will look away for a couple seconds while the other player is in their peripheral. its really just hali that does a lookaway pass
I can guarantee you haven’t seen this pass any other time all year
Lol Lebron, Luka, and Lamelo do this all the time
send da video
common is crazy literally find me a clip of anyone else doing this all season please
