The size of Shaq. The passing of Magic. The shooting of Bird. The vertical of Phyllis from the Office. We will never see a player like this again.

Jokic is the epitome of "Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast" Dude is deceptively athletic and people don't give him enough credit for the footwork and body control. And his strides and dunks can be very athletic.

Props to his teammates too. They were always prepared to receive these passes, no matter how unexpected they may be.

His accuracy is INSANE… the ball just magically arrives in his teammate’s hands, with perfect placement and force every single time. Unbelievable

What I love about Jokic's passing is that it isn't flashy just for the sake of being flashy. If he goes behind-the-back, it's because that was the **only** way to get the pass through. If he does a no-look, it's because he needed to freeze the defender. everything he does has purpose.

we don’t need to call him the best passing “BIG” in the league anymore…he’s the best passer in the league period

I have been watching the NBA since the late 1950s, and I have never seen a passer with as many ways of delivering the ball as effectively and beautifully as Jokic does night after night. For me, he's the epitome of what makes basketball such a beautiful game. And his floating soft-touch shots in the lane are unlike anything I have ever seen from a big man. So much fun to watch.

To all the people just discovering Jokic, I assure you, this is just a tiny sample of the absurdity that is the Jokic experience. There’s an entire universe of Jokic passes out there for you to discover. This wasn’t even close to all of the best ones. Enjoy.

It has to be a real treat to play on the same team with him. As long as you're paying attention and ready for the pass, you'll find the ball in your hands...

Shaq called Jokic a "true big man" at 6:49, that was in 2017. In 2023 finals Shaq anointed the man as a member of the big man alliance. We're witnessing a true great

What a special player. He has full awareness of where his teammates and defenders are at. He capitalizes on the opposition’s mistakes. A one of a kind, unselfish wizard of the game of basketball. We are witnessing an all time great right at this very moment.

“Jokic isn’t flashy.” -every analyst

Best passer of all time. Time to start having the conversation

The unchanging neutral expression. The insane court vision. The immaculate dimes. This man is real life kuroko.

As someone who neither plays nor watches basketball, this guy is like a magician! Incredible to watch...

Dude had more touchdown passes than Russell Wilson this season.

This man really expanded his game by just getting everyone involved!! He didn’t have to run the floor, he just needs to be a guard posing as a big man with this passing!!

I can't get over him not winning MVP in favor of Embiid.

Not only does Jokic throw every pass in the book, he is expanding the types of passes in the book.

Must be such a great feeling playing with this guy. You just have to get in the paint at the right time and you know he's going to find you. The ball will be there. You don't know how, but the ball is coming.

THIS is like positive cycle, everybody knows Jokic like to pass, which encourage others to cut left and right. If you like to hog the balls, nobody want to waste the energy to cut.

Jokic plays like a damn qb

Good Lord, that's just not fair to be 7-feet tall and THAT good! This man is a once-in-a-generation kind of talent!

Nikola Jokic is the evolution of what we should have had if we had prime Arvydas Sabonis in the league before he got run into the ground. He is the next level of a player we never got to see: a 7-footer with a 3-point shot and an array of passes out of the Magic Johnson/Pete Maravich playbook. Guy has the physical abilities of a big man with the handling and passing of a little guy and the vision of someone playing a video game. Absolutely phenomenal.

Best passer and player in the league.

I've followed him since the draft, since his hometown is close to mine, and all I can say is that I'm truly blessed I have a chance as a huge NBA fan, to witness him doing his stuff, and dominating the league while doing it. I'm 25 years old, but I've done my homework on the history of the league, and all I can say that we have never ever seen a player like him. There are a lot of great players, but nobody did it like Joker does it. Unseen generational talent.

OMG! The one @5:40 was insane! Everyone in the arena and the commentators had no idea he would make that pass. It looked like he’d pass it to the open man for 3, and then he did that! 🤯

Jokic is the perfect player. Humble and talented, there to get the job done. Probably the best role model in the NBA currently.

This is right up there with those Magic Johnson and Jason Williams assist highlights..

bruh those long bounce passes reminds a lot of magic 😅

Dude imagine how insane it must be playing with him, you are fully covered by 2 defenders and all of a sudden the ball just magically appears in your hands anyways.

This is why Nuggets are dominating the league. KCP and Gordon are having the most efficient seasons of their careers because Jokic is feeding them with these cheatcode balls all the time.

The vision to see it. The hands to execute it. The balls to even try it. A truly genius level passer.

Joker will stat pad Miami like he stat padded the Lakers. Go Nuggets!

This guy got me back into watching basketball after being away for over 15 years.

If the Joker is looking at you, you are not getting the ball.

One of the things I used to love about watching Magic play was his passes, but Jokic is next level!

Not an NBA fan but I watched all of this. His passing is something to behold. NBA needed someone with unique ability like this. Dunks are just so routine to the point of being boring.

Jokic passes are insane! And most beautiful and brilliant! No one in the history of basketball even comes close, not even Magic Johnson. Nikola Jokic does it all. He pushes the ball up the court like a point guard, dribbles with the ball behind the back, shoots 3-pointers, makes no-look ridiculous passes, scores, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks..... and he does it all in total ease. grace, smoothness and calmness with his intelligence at work instead of making unnecessary flashy moves or doing more than what's needed. He has taken over Larry Bird as the most intelligent and the greatest basketball player of all time.

even his teammates were surprised when suddenly the ball was in his hand😂

And people who doesn't know basketball will say that he is unattractive player to watch. It is just magic, nothing more. Best basketball in world rn

Can't comment on whether Jokic is better than Magic as a passer. I get to see him play everytime but I've only seen highlights of Magic. But how can this guy not be an S tier passer? He has to be right there in the conversation with anyone who's ever been called a great passer. He makes every pass in the book and passes no one even thinks are possible at an elite level. True no looks (none of that lame look away after the pass is made that other guys do), touch passes, half court bounce passes, outlet passes, entry passes, lobs, skip passes, behind the back, over the shoulder, over the head etc etc. He's all-time great at misdirection, anticipation, and high level reads, basketball IQ stuff most NBA players never even become good at. As a pure passer, what can't he do at an all-time great level?

I have not been interested in the NBA for quite a while. The 80's up through the Kobe/Shaq years were my prime viewing years. The game just became so formulaic and one on one driven. Seeing Jokic finding people like this, going for the pass over taking his own shots is entertaining as hell. And seeing how his teammates are locked in with this style, so totally ready at all times for his quick passes is awesome. The complete game philosophy works, and winning the championship doesn't hurt as confirmation.

Pure basketball genius. We are witnessing all time greatness

That last pass 😳😱😱😱

He’s just so stoic and effective while doing stuff no one does. Really cool to watch.

How he sees the court is unrivaled...How he gets people to fall asleep is unheard of...He adapts to each game specifically to what is needed from him to get the 'W'...Has to be an alien...

He used to play water polo. If you know what that is, it makes sense why he can make these passes with ease

Highlight like this makes me want to always watch the Nuggets

Jokic fits so well in the athleticism of the NBA

Glad he's finally getting the attention he deserves, Jokic is just on another level

There was an interview with him a few months back on a Serbian television, and the interviewer asked him "Do you always know where your teammates are when you deliver no-look passes, or is it luck sometimes?" and he replied "Since I joined NBA, there's this thing that I really like, that we don't do in Europe - NBA teams insist on having someone cover corners during the attack, so sometimes when I don't know what to do with the ball, I just blast it behind me and hope for the best."

I am no fan of watching NBA. I'm only for highlights. But this guy is just so amazing to watch. So unpredictable.

Watching Jokic slice apart defenses with a single pass never gets old

Just an enjoyment to watch him passing. Everyone naturally points to him after scoring - what a pass.

He's amazing. This is the basket I love. And kudos to his teammates for always moving and being there when he passes. That's what I call a team play. They are a very well oiled machine.

The important thing about this video is that every ridiculoud pass Jokic has made before, he has made at least 3 times

Me at every pass - Wow, it definitely can't get better than that 2 seconds later - 😮

This man is getting a ring. Might even get it this year. He's just too good. Utter treat to watch.

Can you imagine how much fun it is to play with Jokic? His teammates must love the serves he sends them, makes their play that much more fun as well.

Goosebumps. Plays the game the way it should be.

his volleyball pass amazes me everytime. I play his play in slow motion and still but dont know how he can do it accurately. Also his vision to find the breakthrough point

The greatest passing big man in NBA History!

I could watch him throw those full court passes all day 😆

4:18 Jokic's been watching some Kuroko

My favourite part is the delayed reactions of the opposing players as they struggle to comprehend what just happened.

I don't play basketball and rarely watch it, but this stuff is just so satisfying to watch. Awesome player.

Man... He reminds me of the game of chess. A great chess player will see many steps ahead, and Jokic read the game many steps ahead of others. So many passes are just unbelievable: how did he know someone would be there?!

I never knew Jokic was a NBA quarterback and pitcher. 😂

It must be exuberating playing with him knowing that "we are all in it together" - playing as one and knowing that each play was the best one at that particular moment! No favoritism and no ego plays!

wt impressed me the most is how he casually runs back at D like nothing amazing highlights happened, so simple/humble big man.

That last pass was just pure finess, brown didn’t even break stride just full sprint and the ball landed right in his hands, unreal

The ball handling skills here are amazing. So many of these he looks before he receives the pass and then just taps it to the open player... the coordination is amazing.

It's crazy how much awareness he has of his teammates, and equally as amazing that they're prepared to take these passes and score like they do. No wonder they came away with the championship this season.

Those long precise bounce passes get me every time.... endlessly impressive....

Joker such a good nickname for this magician.

He isn't being flashy or a show dog. Every one of those passes are technical and tactical. Building an offensive around him was one of the best decisions an NBA coach ever made.

2:07 What an epic pass dunk. I might start watching basketball to see more of this guy play. Go Sports!!!

He reminds me of old days Lakers' Magic Johnson. The kind of assists that are far more beautiful than scoring. It's hard to come by these days.

I like how you did zero homework and just assembled some playoff highlights and other clips from UKposts.

3:18 Sheeeesssssh

Greatest passer of all time. Not "for a center", for "any basketball player".

Jokic is what Lebron aspired to be when he realized he can never come as good as MJ, a Magic / Bird Hybrid. But Jokic actually does it Sith pure skill, IQ, mentality, footwork and just an artist. Glad the newer generation will watch some real talent and not some media prop.

I'm so, so, so happy people are starting to notice Joker. The guy was slept on for years

You have to want to be good at passing; to be unselfish and find the open man. That is Jokic and that's why they are the champs.

The funny thing is these are all assists, meaning the shot was made. There’s so many absolute beauties that he’s thrown that ended up being open misses.

The amazing part about his passing abilities is that his team mates know his intentions so they don't need to call for the ball or be stagnant. Just be in position and move without the rock! lovely basketball

Absolute awareness. And the amount of practice it must take with the team to make it look and work this well. What a well oiled machine. THE definition of team player.

What amazing chemistry between the team, the whole team knows how to work with him and read the setup in nearly an instant. This is something really special. Reminds me of the best of Jason Williams without so much streetball attitude

4:59 best pass ever

Jokic is the epitome of winning basketball. Coz win or lose he is always efficient and his teammates loves to move around eith him

I know he plays differently, but he reminds me so much of Tim Duncan. Just a guy with insane skill whose main goal is to get the entire team involved. And he's humble and down to earth.

His court vision is hall of fame worthy alone easily

This is a really well put together video. The way it attempts to live up to the title. Also how all the volley ball passes appear in sequence. His pass at probably deserved to show up later in the video though; one of my favorites of his career. The recognition/look is whatever, but the actual touch/execution of the pass itself is just sublime.

When you realize that Jokic is not doing anything crazy athletic that counts on him being young. He is doing stuff that gets better with age! I mean add another 5 years to his age and name one thing he won't be capable of doing better than he is doing now! This dude is scary good.

This is what a team is all about!

6:23 is insane

I haven't watched basketball since my playing days. Twenty years, easy, just walked away from the game one day. Caught up with an old teammate the other night and he mentioned Nikola Jokić. Now I can't stop watching basketball.

The day he scored a perfect 35ps shooting game is when he became a legend 10/20/2018

Aaaaand the Nat'l Sports Media have the nerve to say he's boring... 😆😆
