Nah this is actually crazy because the only time he saw Cam was when he first caught the ball. His eyes never looks directly in the corner until he passed and he threw it right to Cams chest lmao

Pass is still amazing, but I'm pretty sure he can track him in his peripheral during his dribble.

Jokic knows where Cam Johnson is because he knows where he isn’t

How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real?

100%

The court vision isn't even the amazing part, it's the logistics of this type of pass. It's so hard to throw a cross court pass under the hoop. It's a cursed area of the court and that's part of why every defense wants to force you into that location as a ball handler. This might be the best pass I've ever seen.

I'm convinced Jokic made a deal with the devil where he traded his ability to look like anything other than a stepdad who just got back from a double shift at the industrial slag factory for skill in basketball.
