Just tried this in my backyard and I don't even understand how he gets that much power with that pass much less that accuracy

The force that whipped through my shoulder felt like I just threw a baseball as hard as I can

[u/Weary_Restauranter → u/Ghost6x]

His wrists are like mortars. He can just effortlessly shoot from mid court with just his wrist.

When your jokics size a basketball is comparatively pretty small and light. Also he played a bunch of water polo as a kid and that's a lot of one armed flicks.

[u/kikimaru024 → u/LigerZeroSchneider]

He never played water polo at any competitive level.

[u/LigerZeroSchneider → u/kikimaru024]

Yeah but its very popular in Serbia, so he still played casually. Im not buying a new York Times sub to find the quote, but every quote I find about his water polo background is from that one article that says he wasn't in a club but played with friends for fun.

[u/mkp666 → u/LigerZeroSchneider]

Yeah, this a common water polo motion. Very similar to a backhand shot.

[u/yellow251 → u/LigerZeroSchneider]

Had no idea about the water polo; this gives great insight into his abilities on the court.

[u/ContinuingAnyway → u/Ghost6x]

He's long, so he gets more power out of it

[u/Borbs_revenge_ → u/Ghost6x]

He big. The accuracy to hit Johnson right in his pocket is amazing though, just absurd coordination

These people are giants who work out every day lol
