I don’t watch men’s basketball so for me, that is actually insane.

It’s insane if you watch it every day. If you’ve played, it’s crazy just to try it.

Fr. It’s so stupidly difficult that only a few league level players have the green light to even try it.

Honestly I feel like basically only jokic would do in an actual game

Oh it's insane regardless my friend

It’s still insane even to people who watch.

The player executing the pass is 3x MVP Nikola Jokic who is arguably the best passer of all time.

Wow the confidence to try it and the skill to execute it. Great shot glad the pass wasn't wasted on a miss

The casual insanity of this pass, honestly, the best pass I have ever seen on a basketball court and it's not even close.

I grew up on j will...respectfully.....but White chocolate has never dotted up a corner 3 with this kind of effortless difficulty. This was some aliens came to earth and fell in love with sports type shit.

Elbow pass is arguably harder imo.

Ive seen people pull off the elbow pass in pick up. Never seen anyone hit someone in the shooting pocket from a behind the back baseline pass like this

u/Nothing2Special 2h ago

Better than Steve Nash at passing. Just kidding.

Better than John Stockton though imo

u/TheBatman0816 1h ago

Not even a joke, Jok is best passer ever in breadth, depth, difficulty and style of passing

Don't be kidding, it is a fact

Stockton is the most overrated point guard of all time who ran up and down the court farming assists from simple post entry passes to Karl Malone, aka Kid Molester

He’s also a fucking douchebag

He's really the modern day Bird...

I've always felt like that.

Better passer for sure

Good thing that guy made the 3, would be embarrassing to catch such a great pass and fail on the follow through.

u/turboyabby 2h ago

Bill Laimbeer could do that, according to Olden Polynice.

u/pharaohmaones 1h ago

Hard to say what’s more impressive: the pass or the awareness to see and convert it. Just unreal ball.

I watch him every night and can’t believe this shit. Makes it looks so easy.

This is the craziest pass I’ve ever seen.

u/VonMillersThighs 50m ago

Watching almost every single Joker game I've become numb to this lol.
