Anyone see this? If Jokic wasn’t out those few games because of his wrist when the Nuggets went like 0-6 or something, Jokic would be right there as a top seed with Jokic favorite again to win MVP. The guy is unreal to watch and is having an even better season than last.

But no one noticed because of his scoring ability.. However, he was 30 years ahead of his time as a point guard (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?499374-Ringer-com-MJ-was-30-yrs-ahead-of-time-as-30-10-10-PG-like-Westbrook-Luka-etc)

Was he the first to make such passes? No? Then making the point that he did it too is......not a point.

The hyperbole about how great these passes are is ridiculous. These passes won't be highlights in most era's, magic litterally threw 3 or 4 a game. Pistol pete makes Jokers passes look like a regular bounce pass.

Agreed. And the farthest distance of any of those Jordan passes was like 6 feet. Easy to throw a no look when the guy is right next to you...

No he absolutely did not. The degree of difficult on every pass I saw for a minute in that video was not the same.

Jordan passed to guys right next to him late in possessions to guys right in his line of sight.

He was passing as a last resort a lot of time. Jokic was throwing decisive no look missiles yards away before a defense even knew they were there. Different level of processing speed as a playmaker.

There's nothing this guy doesn't do at least well. Nuggets have quietly become one of my favorite teams to watch these past few years and it's mostly thanks to him.

Jordan was an average passer at best but he could make an exceptional pass every once in a while. Jokic is one of the best passing big in NBA history with great vision and anticipation. Is he Trae Young or Chris Paul NO! which is all I was pointing out. Incredible player, great passer but he is no Magic Johnson his passing is comparable to Larry Bird.

Jokic is definitely a better passer than Chris Paul and a better decision maker than Trae Young.

Trae comes off as a better passer than many guys I’ve seen. But again decision making is a different thing. Trae is wild.

And Jokic is definitely comparable to Bird wtf? If anything Bird lacks the range of passes Jokic can make. Jokic can flick absolute missiles with either hand like LeBron.

And he has the touch pass game of Bird. Bird has no edge over him.

Magic might’ve had even a slightly higher processing speed than Nikola with his insanity on the break. But in half court? Jokic is as good as anybody.

Jokic is one of the best passers ever for any position. His dimes are beautiful.
