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.
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.
@@stephannielsen4177 oh well, you know, in sports, "Europe" has an extremely vague definition. I mean, in football (and by that, as a european, I mean soccer ofc😂), even Israel is included in it and competes with "real" european countries.
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.
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.
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.
the Luka corner jump pass may be the best pass i’ve ever seen in an NBA game. the commitment that takes is absurd
That’s the one I was thinking of when I saw the title 😂
@@JSICrew right? like the vision is beyond incredible
@@JSICrewyeah it was incredible!

Edit: Okay, not a buzzer beater but still…
Pedja Stojakovic sending an otherwise out-of-bounds ball across the court behind the back with a scoop pass may have only been better.
Jokic drops 35/13/11 with crazy nutmeg passes a night with all the outward energy of a guy grinding out the Friday shift in a cubicle, it's amazing 😂

6:51 That 16 ft. bounce pass between LeBron's legs is ridiculous.
LeNodefense
@@thedeaner3117 that's mean but I laughed so hard 😂
Nutmeg-ing one of all time best from that distance!
That last pass by Luka, I honestly haven't seen a better pass in all my years of watching the NBA. Just nuts.
Accidental made baskets but they get increasingly farther away.
jae crowder #1 lol
That last pass by luka and the 3/4 court inbound lob from joker are the two best passes I’ve ever seen. Both top 3 playmakers all-time imo
Both top 5 passers in the game. Both worthy of being in the MVP discussion!
Jokic will go down as top 3 assistants of all time. Will.
And he won’t be third either.

Have to agree with the man. Jokic.top 10 in assists
@@qbincashion8058think he meant best passers not the record
@@Adzo_78 He must mean that, nobody is catching Stockton unless there's a Curry type player that forces a paradigm shift that focuses on assists.
The level of readiness of the others also deserves some recognition. These passes need a heads-up
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!?!?
Yeah I bet they had to adapt a lot playing with these two, knowing a pass could come at then any moment

it’s east v west this year i’m pretty sure
@DhruvSharma-pk6nl yup bringing back how it should be... though a Ryder cup formst would be great. As long as it's not team LeBron garbage
Shouldnt be US vs Europe, that eliminates some players, its should be US vs International instead that would involve all players.
I’m from the States and Europe would win hands down 💯

Luka not having better teammates has robbed us of so many highlights
Before they got D.Lively they missed ALOT of dunk at the rims, it’s really rough man😂 If you ain’t sellin than you ain’t Maverick
I mean Jokic played 2 years without Murray and Porter as well. Jokic would be passing the ball around but the shooters failed him a lot.
Gave me feels of Bird and Magic. Was smiling 😊the whole time.
There's magic in those hands and brains, that's for sure. Loved the jedi comparison in one of the clips lmao.
My 2 favorite players in the NBA... really hoping these boys team up one day
yet they seem like very different personalities. Not sure they'd work well together
You dont know ball@@David-iv6je
They both need the ball. I prefer they stay in Denver and Dallas respectively so they get more touches.
@@p90bridgehow does Jokic need the ball when he has the lowest time per possession in the league? Know your basketball.
@@arkadiuszrogala1359 Lowest of the ball dominant players maybe. You just need to watch Denver literally ONCE to know everything goes through him.
2 passing savants! Blessed to see them in action!
luka is ballhogger ,jokic makes other better
Future hall of famers for sure
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.
Bro I swear, whenever Jokic makes those bullet passes, he just wants the game to be over so he can go sleep 😂
Best two players in the world
It's tough to argue that they aren't.
Absolutely on no condition should both these players be allowed to be on the same team. 😂
Would be like having Magic and Bird on the same team. It would be a war crime.
@@studgerbil9081Ngl I have a hard time distinguishing between who is Magic and Bird between them, since they're both passing and shooting.
I love these videos man. Makes me wish you did these for every sport

Thank you for this most excellent video. Really well put together and I could watch it over and over again (have)!
kleber is the perfect complementary player for luka and deserves more credit for it, he always finishes on luka's passes
Yeah kinda Sad he is always hurt
Half of these passes from Luka are to Kleber.
yo these dudes are taking ball to a new level
Some of these passed require a lot of trust in your team
Also in the hardness of your teammates' joints lmao.
“A B-E-A-utiful pass!”
I’m loving the Bruce Almighty reference 💯😂
I’m convinced you could take away their ability to score/rebound and they’d still be all stars based on their passing ability
Twenty NFL teams would sign them as backup QBs tomorrow.
That no look across Jokic body probably the toughest passes I've ever seen. Dude was turned away from where he threw it smh
The passing at its best! As brilliant as it can get! The ultimate!
what this looks like is Maxi Kleber knows how to space himself based on how Luka sees the court. not a mistake most of Luka‘s are to him
This is just pure streetball passes and i like it!
That last pass by Luka is one of the best ever
When you don't even see the opening from TV view yet they do. So spectacular!
With how these two yeet fast balls across the floor im kinda shook not more players get clocked
The two best passers in the NBA today. No others come close
future teammates
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.
Next should be Curry and Dame 3 pointers but they get deeper and deeper👀
And Trae!
the very first tip pass should be wayyy later in the video. that was Larry Bird type brilliance 🔥
The passes without the gather are nuts by the Joker..way harder than they look
And they say whites can't play. Jokic and Doncic are the best players in the NBA, by a big margin.
The power in Jokic's hands, to make those baseball passes look EASY
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.
Both are incredible passers but Luka's ability to make alley oop passes is probably the best ever
I could watch these all day
6:45 lebron knew this was gunna be a highlight if he made the 3.
Kinda wondering how that wasn't called a kick ball
goated duo
Man they are bring create creativity and assists to the league
These passes are CRAZY!!!!
Easily the two greatest passers of this generation... and maybe even more. Absolute Brilliance
Great highlights!
great video
future teammates 👀
Sengun and Sabonis deserve this type of video some day too
Idk Sabonis doesn’t have that many “flashy” passes on the same level as these two, Sengun Mabye has the potential one day
Please do a video on fights but they get increasingly more serious, or something along those lines!
I don't understand why the fans don't have a strong reaction to all this. It is like NBA fans are spoiled.
The US really should look into how the Balkans train their young ballers
And the USA should look into how the USA trains some of its players.
6:45 Through LEBRON’S legs???
very classy and high IQ passes
never seen this many shots made by kleber in such a short time period
6:03 Jokic doing both Gasol brothers a bamboozle in 10 seconds
Man, isn't basketball the best sport ever?! Just beautiful!!
It's like their playing a different game than everyone else. Crazy that the two best passers in the nba are both from small European countries!
for those who understand these are Xavi H and Xavi A levels of passes wow!
I pray that sometime in the future. They will play for the same team
If you like basketball this is 8 minutes of pure pleasure!
I dont and its still heaven haha
Please make an hour long version. 🙂
Ima hit you with an idea cosh , “Vocal Dunks but they get increasingly more deadly/louder” 🤙🏻😤
been watching the NBA for 45 years....... jokic hands down best passer I have ever seen.
Bro Danilo gallinari made the dopest pass ever when he was on nuggets
It's curious, but Jokic made the exactly same dime to both Gasol Brothers
knee-cola is an odd way to pronounce that name
So in other words, Kleber and Finney Smith are SOLID finishers...
Jokic is just the seemingly most unlikely source for such ball wizardry. On the 4,235 level he found the Net Terminal gene.
Hardaway Jr makes me sick everytime I see that last Luka pass smh
We all knew what the last pass would be.
Man, I'd love to see these two teams go to the Western Conf finals.
These two made every pass in the book and then wrote two other books on passing.
These Dudes both best in the league. Jokic best All time. Crazy 🤪
It must be fun to be in their team :)
If Manu played today NBA!! Oh man!!
They are just the two best all around players in the league.
Yup but one is 7 feet tall. But hey the Balkan brothers killing it.
Jokic is like the blue guy from kourokos basket
In that last Luka pass they didn’t review it to whether he was still in bounds or out of bounds 😭
THANK U COSH
Kleber being injured since the start of the season is the big lost for dallas
Europe's greatest passers of this era.
Every Jokic pass to Porter Jr seems like lol
Euro Ball is taking over the NBA
imagine the 2 of them on the same team.
Ginóbili nods from the sidelines.
My dad did the shimmy
I gotta see a playoff series between the Nuggets and Mavericks
Can you make a video on give him a contract already (from 2 way contract)
Caruso already got himself a contract :D
Mavs looked at this and said, "nah, we don't want this" lol
"Fabulous Tip" 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 0:04
I wish they play together
What are they putting in the water up in Serbia
Increasingly great passes followed by missed shots
bold passes
