Nikola Jokić is one of the smartest player in the game. Although being a Center, he is one of the premier, if not the best passer in the game.
Hope you enjoy the video. Thank you for watching.!

He has no wasted motion. Its like there is zero lag time between the decision and the action. Almost as if he can see 1 second into the future. His teammates are right there with him. They have great chemistry. Incredible.
I think that's what's amazing about this team. They are so aware and alert because the ball will be at the expected spot once they make their cut. I sometimes wonder how surprised a guy is making a cut to the basket finding Jokic kicked it out to the open man outside. So much more fun to watch this than all of the flat footed stuff we were getting used to
Apparently his teammates learned to be right there with him by getting hit in the face in training. When the Joker has the ball, you have your hands ready for the pass.
@@Davek-pc7uo Not only that. People are shocked by his no look passes and everything - the reason he can do those reliably is because he knows where the guy is supposed to be standing and their respective positions for every possible play, so if he sees someone's guard coming up, he just hurls it at the place that is supposed to be occupied and if no one was there, they will learn to be there the next time. They are taught to never be out of position or they don't have a place in the rotation.
His vision is just great
Haki?
I'm sorry, this is ridiculous. I found myself shocked over and over and over and over for 13 minutes of pure passing genius. Jokic MVP.
maybe the Serbs have set new standards. small country but many talents. 😮😅
@@undercoverplayer2245 indeed
There is a style to play big man game without injury, i called this kind giant/ tower. Long career, ton of assist, eyes of the sky
He’s a goddamn point center lol
better see a doc then
My favorite player by far. He plays basketball the way it should be played. Pass and score, pass and score. Most unselfish player I've ever seen.
69th like haha
Ben simmons is the most unselfish player
@@zhangandre9449 Because he cannot do anything else
@@zhangandre9449 I mean he let's the opponent win so fair point.
@@ratkotrailovic5990 I can’t believe u said that
The most versatile and intelligent player in history. It's unbelievable. We are not even aware how unique he is. Genius.
If only, he could dunk.
@@bosesebi6685 he's got plenty of TEAMmates to do the showoff stuff.
@@bosesebi6685 Of course he can dunk on your sorry a**
@@Some1xxx except that Im close to Jordan in physical sense.
He’s great. Watch some videos of Larry Bird. I’m glad to see this kind of play is still here.
Great passer. Just Makes the Whole Team better. Not selfish. Great scorer, passer. Great vision. Great Rebounder. Deserving MVPs. Hope he finally get a Championship.
He just won the 22-23 season
I can watch Jokic passes all day
Jokic is the textbook definition of what a “pivô” (pivot) means in Brazilian Portuguese. He turns the game on its head every time he touches the ball and you can see how every player is revolving around him in a beautiful carrousel that looks almost like a dance. You can also notice how his teammates are clever to take advantage of Jokic’s unique vision of the court. They’re always moving and they ALWAYS trust that the ball will end in their hands. I mean how many alley-oops did we just watch with Aaron Gordon and Jokic? That’s a difficult play to time right and they do it seamlessly and carefully choreographed like Russian ballet. This should be studied in basketball training camps.
Jokic é uma mistura de Benzema, Paulo Henrique Ganso e Ronaldinho. Bizarro
@@LuisVinicius16 no is mix bitwin Gheorghe Hagi Zinedin Zidan Johan Kruif Van Basten
"Pivo" in serbian means "Beer" :D
"I mean how many alley-oops did we just watch with Aaron Gordon and Jokić? That’s a difficult play to time right and they do it seamlessly and carefully choreographed like..." Like capoeira. Divine fight dance.
is this a highlight of a point guard or a center or a quarterback
yes
Soon to be 3xmvp
Anything goes bruh?
Andres Iniesta
or a trequartista
Basketball is a team game! 5 guys are on the court. Jokic manages to get 25 ppg, and still employs all of his teammates in each and every game! And his high basketball IQ makes everything he does so easy and enjoyable to watch! Truly one of the greatest ever!
Сабонис так играл уже в 90 годы плюс у него был отличный бросок и он брал почти все подборы под обоими щитами
Went back watching NBA again because of this guy. Love to see how he play on the court.
Me too! All because of the Joker!
same lol. the nba is fun to watch again.
Him and Gordon are going to be a legendary tandem.
AG is eager to learn. He is not run&dunk player.
@@vj-cs6ql I Think He's Playing For 7 Years in The NBA. He Suppose To Be Full Develop 2 Or 3 Years Ago Always Like AG... But He Stuck a Little With The Magic. The Best That Happens They Let Him GO, And Sin The Worst That Happens To Him Was Those Slam Dunk Contest, Cause He Concentrate An Be a Dunker And Neglect His Others Skills. Like Jump Shots, Handles, Passing. But To Be Fair, The Last Couples Of Years Maybe Seeing And Playing With Jokic Everyday Had influence His Game and Changed For The Good, Now He's a More Complete 🏀 Player.👍
IF gordon sticks with Nikola he is going to the HOF
@@vj-cs6ql Exactly, he is not ego limited, he's willing to learn, to fit in! He grew into a great player!
Why did you capitalize every word lol please don’t
my favorite thing is when ag does the finger point to credit jokic man i love that duo
A real passing Savant. Jokic and Gordon also have great chemistry. This is some beautiful basketball.
Joker passing the ball is simultaneously entertainment, stimulation, art, poetry, and maybe even sport.
lolllloll
I can, & do, watch him every day, same games & highlights over & over. Never get tired of watching him. Just pure joy.
ASMR :)
Jokic career assists highlights will be out of this world....
Jokic + Gordon = Crazy combo.
Wait till MPJ gets realizes his potential, the league will be put on notice.
@@multimoussa Agree, a new Dynasty in making.
His intelligence and lack of ego makes him an enigma in the modern game
I'm not into basketball, but this guy is a genius! His no-look passes are just astounding, to say the least!
And he's getting wiser. We're lucky to witness some most intelligent decisions and great plays.
I don't know how people can discount this wizardry... he is a bloody wizard. Insane.
We from Serbia understand his mentality: He's simply there to play great basketball, and to play it hard :) He is a wizard, such a mountain of a man, and yet so swift and fast, unfathomable. Add to it the eye of an eagle to it, and a mind of a chess grandmaster, and yes, he's a wizard. I have no other explanation for that phenomenon. Shout out to the entire team, as they all dance with Jokić on that court and write a new era in the history of basketball
It's crazy how he's an efficient 25ppg scorer, but no one is going to say scoring is his best skill. That's how elite his playmaking is
MVP ! Serbian Beast!
God given feel for the game. Eyes in the back of his head. I’ve honestly never seen anything quite like it.
We in Serbia say for such guys: Eyes on his butt :) He's a wizard, I have no other explanation.
Mozzart... 🎹of Basketball pure beauty. Greetings from Macedonia ♥️
Denver Nuggets fans are so lucky to witness greatness all these games, cheers from Italy. GOAT material
I have noticed that Joker has improved his offense this season. He has more low post moves and better touch around the basket. He is more difficult to be guarded one on one this year. When teams double team Joker he finds open shooters. His teammates are good at finding open spots and at cutting to the basket. Beautiful basketball.
It's more like he can showcase his skills more this year as his supporting cast is complete. Having Porter and Murray back eases the defensive pressure off him and make him do things at his pace. He has 3 different offensive options to pass to (Gordon inside, Porter outside and Murray slashing) as well as do his usual post moves, 3 pointers and awkward but effective wrong-footed jumpers
credit also goes to his teammates for constantly moving without the ball. if they get open, they know Joker will get them the ball. thats TEAM in action
literally a quarterback, what a beast. such unique gameplay and so great to watch too
Bro the fact that the best passer in the League is a center is crazy
he couldnt if he wasnt a great shooter also. Thus making them flock around his position, and making pass possible.
Ladies and gentleman, the emergence of the point center is upon us!
He is the best center and offensive player at the same time
Jokic and Gordon are soo damn good together... Gordon really exploded this season
Aaron Gordon has to give Jokic half of his next contract
Haha. Great comment.
Jokic gives me the same feeling watching magic Johnson highlights growing up, the passes he can do and the way he commands the floor. Just puts me in awe! I cannot wait to see him finally win his chip
Even though I only saw Magic's highlights, they are probably my two favourite players ever, Magic and Jokic
LArry Bird was also a great passer, but Joker has a 65% rate of midcourt shots, and about a 40% success on threes! He has moves under the basket like Kevin McHale or HAkeem Olajuwon, and he can bully his way to the net like Shaq. he just can't be stopped1
For those who haven’t played basketball passing is such a difficult skill. Timing, Touch, precision and speed. Plenty times I messed up a pass cause I was a split second late. Ball speed was just too fast. Also the pass moves the player in the direction they want to go not against their momentum. Truly an unbelievable passer
Enough with the best passing Big man! He is one of the best passer of all time! still has 10 more yrs in NBA
If you cut out the Jokic passes from the highlights, you'd think Denver has a full team of all-star finishers at the rim.
He's pulling the rim protection out of the lane all the time so guys like brown, barton (anyone who's undersized in the paint) don't have to stress goin up. That's such an underrated part of having a center as your playmaker.
I just watched 13 mins of "What a pass"…. This guy is fkn amazing
Cant run, can't jump, can't dunk, but dominates the court like some freeking alien out of this world.
he is very fast for his height tho...
Can’t run? Do you not see the pace they play at and it’s mostly him running the ball down the court
And he can dunk...if he want to. 😉
Can't run, can't jump, can't dunk, can't be stopped !
@@mikitoso3214 I think he's tall enough that he doesn't have to jump to dunk :)
By the time he retires he will have hours and hours of highlights
I honestly can't even imagine how privileged I would feel to play with such a player.
You'd probably get hit in the face with a lot of passes you weren't expecting.. like the rest of us.
@@delugesofgrandeur LOOOL, you humor is as great as Jokić's game :) Shout out to you from Serbia
@@ninacroftchannel
"Jokic is on his horse...sort of speak" hahaha gotta love these commentators
The most innovative player I've seen in fifty+ years' time.
This is like only part of this and previous season lol. Highlights for days by the end of his career.
Everyone always talks about Murray and Jokic, but Jokic and Gordon is top tier. Gordon has the size and athletic skills to finish Jokic’s savant like passing
I love how He trusts his Teammates and understands that EVERYONE should be looking for a potential pass. Really great teamwork all around.
I am simply fascinated never seen anything like this!. It's like this team have been playing together sice they were born
How talented he is and how well his team-mates are aware of it.
haven't watched nba for awhile until the west n east finals. saw this big guy with all the unbelievable moves n was wondering what position he's playing. he's awesome n humble player for a giant. he can shoot too. he should also get a trophy for best assists in the league. now i'm a fan n will start watching nba again. 👍👍👍
I love how all of these are about making his teammates look good. Watching team basketball is amazing.
The playoffs has showed me how great this man is. Did not know he was like THIS
This could make a great mixtape of Jokic passing highlights! Great job!
Gordon is in heaven playing with Joker and getting dimes in the paint,shooting over 60%
Jokic to Gordon is some of the best chemistry I have seen between ballers
Like Jordan, this guy's taken his level of play to artistry! No one that I'm aware of has perfected the bounce pass like Jokic. This will definitely change the look of the game when others absorb this into their game.
Bird. Magic and now Jokic'
Yup, already doing..
Curry, Bron, kd
@@moneymoney3235 Jokic, Jokic, Jokic.
@@GinjaNinja77 jokic>mj
A complete player, a true team player; just a joy to watch.
Great video. Pure poetry, can watch this whole day. Who loves basketball know this is the right way of playing it. Team ahead of individuals.
1:17 man how do you break someone's ankles with A PASS?!? this man is something else
As a football fan (soccer) I love seeing tactical plays and intelligence is key in tactical plays finding spaces and creating spaces is all what I'm seeing in this video.. But Jokic has a thing that ties all of this together which is the skill of passing.. His passes are so clean and devastating to defend against. Respect to his teammates for understanding his capabilities and be ready for his brilliance at all times.
This could also be an Aaron Gordon highlight video. That’s how great Jokic is at making his teammates look great! MVP
Jokić (mvp) and AirGordon are such a good duo
One of the coolest things about Jokic is how well he reads every give and go pass. "Oh, this is what you wanted? Here's that exact thing." Any time another player sees this opening they just have to feed it through him. Must be so fun to play with this guy.
Jokic style of play cannot be compared to anyone else. He is in a league of his own. He can play point guard, power forward and center all in one.
Aaron gordon finally became what everyone wanted him to become thanks to Jokic feeding him down low. Big props to Gordon
AG is a dunk machine 💪💪
He can flat out pass, i love watching him work
At this point I think that 80% of Nuggets practice sessions is how to receive an unexpected nearly impossible pass from Jokic.
Nikola Jokic and this denver team are just pleasure to watch , they play beautifull basketball
We live in a matrix, and Jokic is Neo.
This guy was a second round draft pick? He nearly averaged a triple double this year and will go on to win a championship and finals mvp. I dont watch much nba now a days but this guy and team is on a roll. Love seeing young talent like him and the greek freak succeed. The NBA will need these stars now that LBJ doesnt have much time left.
Fucking people say hes boring wtf! incould watch this whole day 50x
Haters
him and gordan just fun to watch
Denver needs Zach Lavine and A. Gordon in the same team!!!! Dunk contest every night with Jokic dimes
The Jokic and Gordon chemistry 99%
@ 1:18 Jokic broke an ankle with a pass. When have you seen something like that before?
A sign of greatness: making everyone else in the team look better.. A master class every time🎓🏫.. Bullying NBA intellectually💪. A real pride and an inspiration for the whole Balkan people (“юнак балкански”=“Balkan Superman🦸♂️”).
What an amazingly talented & brilliant basketballer! His vision, passes & court footwork belie his size. If he keeps this up & with more MVPs, he's carded for GOATness!! 🤔🤔
Basketball porn. Jokic reminds me what a beautiful game it is even though without him it's completely unbearable to watch these days
this guy is so amazing every person that he pass the ball he trusted them. he know that his members can score it
It is a tragedy that this man was not named MVP.
It's because he's white according to Kendrick Perkins
Eh, NBA champ and Finals MVP ain't bad though.
I love basketball anyway but THIS makes it orders of magnitude more fun to watch. This is artistry.
Imagine Jordan and Jokic in the same team. 😱
This is like an Aaron Gordon highlight as well. Those two have so much chemistry
I finally get a sense of his passing ...its water polo, futbol based, basketball...techniques from other sports. Brilliant...
A masterpiece by the man 👑🇷🇸❤️
Wow almost every time jokic to gordon and gordon dunks as soon as jokic gets the ball gordon is under the rim
Niesamowicie przyjemnie się to ogląda. Po prostu poezja!
This is great passing by Nikola Jokic.
Wow this is the first time I’ve watched a passing compilation at all and I’m impressed, it’s a long video too
INSANE!! more and more will come from Joker!
His teammates are mostly average players on their own, but made into very good players and a lethal offensive team just by the fact that Jokic is playing.
Maybe not as versatile but his teammates are great role players!
I'm equally impressed at his teammate even seeing these passes coming.
Jokic is a laser navigation system😆
Jokic will bring out the best in you. Amazing teammate!
I’ve never seen passing like that. He’s often a few steps ahead of the action and shuts it down before opponents can figure it out. Some of those passes are like an expert outfielder laser passing it to home plate for the out. Very entertaining and mind blowing and that’s great for the NBA which I think needed a boost to get people engaged and invested. He’s good enough to make people who don’t even watch basketball stop and watch the game.
Jokic jenius like Xavi and Iniesta in Barcelona. Master Assist
Look at AG 10:41 literally sneaking :D but when you watch all Jokic's teammates in every clip here you see how much they move and work with Jokic. Nuggets got something special here
2:56 has me dying. Poole hits the floor and Jokic pretty much says pathetic and nullifies the last score with an easy one handed cross-court pass. This guy is a monster.
That was fucking crazy 🤣
thats when i first saw jokic gonna be a problem that year . i remember this game is few games in early into the season . jokic is really a monster .
The worst part about Nikola Jokić is that he is only 27 and will get better that's a scary proposition
Jokic's reminds me of Magic Johnson. Top 2 passers in the game. #MagicJokic
With Bird-like outlet passes
More like Bird, since Bird also didn't need the ball in his hands all the time to make these passes and would often times improvise.
He makes it look so easy... I've never seen anything like him
His full court pass is so accurate.
