Jokic is without a doubt the best passing player in NBA history and one of the best passers ever. Jokic has continued where he left off following that remarkable run that resulted in a championship and Finals MVP award, setting multiple records for a centre with his playmaking last year.
In a tough game that went down to the wire on Friday night, the Denver Nuggets upset the Memphis Grizzlies. Nikola Jokic, who finished with 22 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists, was exceptional for Denver once more. Jokic has become accustomed to providing assists, but on Friday night, nothing was more amazing than this overhand baseball pass to Aaron Gordon for the lob finish.
Despite having a relatively small roster, the Grizzlies played with determination and toughened up the reigning champion Nuggets. Memphis still has a lot of tough guys that gave it their all in this game, but they are without standout point guard Ja Morant while he serves a 25-game ban.
The Nuggets were just more adept at crucial moments of this game, as they demonstrated throughout the series, and they were able to shut out the Grizzlies thanks to strong performances from Jokic and Jamal Murray. Jokic was outstanding in this one as well, adding another outstanding effort to his career highlight reel.
