These are the best passes in Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic careers but as the video goes on they get increasingly more brilliant. Clips are licensed through NBA Playmakers. Business Inquiries: mcosh3@gmail.com
A three quarter court alley oop buzzer beater that was in Jokic’s hands for a split second would like a word… Edit: Okay, not a buzzer beater but still…
I keep thinking the Nugs need a couple solid role players. Glad Jeff Green and Bruce Brown got paid, but the Nugs need those solid teammates. A little too thin this year: Bruce Brown was a double digit scorer and her and Uncle Jeff both did all those little things, especially in the playoffs.
@@David-iv6jescope what Peyton Watson is doing right now. Obviously not the vet leader, and different roles, but he is putting up similar advance stats to Bruce (and blowing uncle Jeff out the water). And that's with him being really rough to start the year. Over the last 13 games he is playing incredible ball and legit out pacing Bruce from last year. Small sample, but if he keeps it up, he'll fill those gaps easily. Also, reggie Jackson is playing better offensively than Bruce did last year, and Braun is shooting way better than Bruce did. The real issue is that Bruce was a Swiss army knife and did a bit of everything, and Jeff could guard true centers in stretches. But the current guys have a higher ceiling than what bb and uncle provided last year
This video really shows how different they are in style. Jokic very understated, high movement efficiency; Luka fiery and flashy, likes to add a little flourish to a lot of those plays; both making the same kinds of ridiculous passes
@@testadalord01432in order for jokic to get top 3 in assists all time he would have to on average play another 11 seasons (including this season) assuming he keeps up averaging 9 assists a game, playing an average of 74 games a season. Not saying it’s impossible but that would mean he’s playing at an elite till at least age 37/38. Also this doesn’t account for the fact that cp3 and/or Lebron will finish in top 3 and they are still playing so the number of assists he is gonna need is gonna continue rising which I didn’t even factor.
@@Oiled_Up_For_Lebron He must mean that, nobody is catching Stockton unless there's a Curry type player that forces a paradigm shift that focuses on assists.
I'm genuinely confused how you teach, coach, learn or practice that kind of intuition... like how are you supposed to anticipate every team mate and defender!?!?
@@mikemo1993 Teams have schemes for every situation. People "have" to be in certain positions in those situations, but usually not everyone gets involved... Guess that with these guys a big part of practice is learning that you are always involved. Even if you are on the other side of the court and the passer is blocked by two people in the corner, almost out of bounds xD
@@mikemo1993 Austin Rivers said the first thing any new Denver player has to learn for weeks when joining is to always have their hands up and ready, because Jokic will find them in the most absurd and unlikely situations
I really hope this year's All Star is US vs Europe. Can you imagine the passing between Luca and Jokic, passing to Giannis? It'd be hell to defend, and beautiful to watch.
These guys are phenomenal but the level of coaching is top notch. Everyone is always in their spot and superstars need either a lane to the hoop or a teammate in their spot and it’s game over.
Some great passers in the league, but I think Jokic and Doncic stand above them. Simply put, you gotta be ready at all times when you play with these guys. They will find you. I think to make some of these passes it takes 3 things. Obviously Skill/Talent, but also IQ and Trust, along with guts. They know where guys are, trust them to make the play, and have the guts to deliver some absurd passes. I think the play Jokic makes at around 7:00 is an all time classic, it deserves more love, and should be on the highlight reel forever. To make a pass like that, when you are double teamed, losing your balance, to a wide open shooter in OT with the clock winding down, which ended up being a game winner. Just, wow. The pass is amazing, but it's the pressure of the moment on top of that. I think only a handful of guys to ever play the game could make that play. Just spectacular.
ok but the one where Jokic takes the rebound in one hand and throws the pass in a single motion was like a peak LeBron-DWade play. it seems impossible. then he does it from out of bounds.
Jokic already got his legacy cemented by getting rings for Nuggets, also a first 2-time MVP in franchise history. Luka meanwhile is walking the road of his "daddy" James Harden. He is an all-star with amazing skills, but he is not a "system player" like Jokic.
