Video: Nikola Jokic makes the most ridiculous pass of NBA season
Nikola Jokic is known for his incredible passing ability, which seems even more exceptional because it comes from a big man. But the amount of praise he deserves for his passing cannot be understated. On Sunday, he was at it again, delivering the most ridiculous pass of the NBA season.
Jokic’s Denver Nuggets won in Portland 124-92 on Sunday. The reigning NBA MVP only had eight points because he was only needed for 26 minutes. But he added 18 rebounds and 11 assists.
He missed out on another assist after this pass to the corner just before halftime.
I have absolutely no idea how Nikola Jokic A. knows this pass is there. B. executes this pass. C. puts a no-look pass with spin almost right in Morris’ shooter’s pocket. D. even thinks to throw it from that angle. pic.twitter.com/xMGwgZaN7V

That was nuts.
How did Jokic know where to whip that pass? How did he even know one of his teammates was there? That was a complete whip around he did, with him delivering a 180-degree no-look pass. Nobody saw it coming.
Jokic seems to deliver pretty passes with regularity. In January, we highlighted a great one he made to assist a winning shot against the Clippers. This one was even more special due to the 180-degree no-look he delivered.
