Nikola Jokic's Mind-Blowing Pass Went Viral In Nuggets-Knicks Game
On Thursday evening, Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are at Madison Square Garden, facing off against the New York Knicks.
During the first half, the two-time MVP made a ridiculous pass that got a lot of attention on social media.
Jokic threw the ball behind his head to Aaron Gordon, who finished off the play with a dunk.
Jokic is arguably the best passer in the league and among the greatest of all time.
He is averaging 26.2 points, 12.0 rebounds, 9.1 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 59.0% from the field.
Earlier in the evening, the 29-year-old was named to his sixth straight NBA All-Star Game.
The Nuggets have a deep team that also features Gordon, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr., which gives Jokic an excellent supporting cast.
He is coming off a season where he led the franchise to the NBA Championship over Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.
With the way the Nuggets have played this season, there is an excellent chance they could repeat as champions.
They are the third seed in the Western Conference with a 31-14 record in their first 45 games.
Currently, the Nuggets are just a half-game behind the Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder for the first seed.
Following Thursday's game, the Nuggets will head back to Colorado to host the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.
On the road, they are 14-10 in 24 games, while they have gone 17-4 in the 21 games they have played at home.
