Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets is a basketball marvel for many reasons, but his ability to pass is really second-to-none.
He was showing off his passing skills during Team Serbia’s game against Estonia at the EuroBasket tournament.
The NBA shared a video of the assist, which was truly unique but also typical for Jokic.
The behind-the-back pass was just one of the many ways that Jokic helped Serbia go all the way to a 98-64 win.

Serbia was red-hot right from the start and raced to a 32-12 lead in the first quarter.
After that, it was all but impossible for Estonia to catch up.
The Serbian team nearly set a FIBA EuroBasket assist record with 32, and Jokic was responsible for six of them.
He also produced 18 points in just 16 minutes on the court.
As amazing as the pass was, Nuggets fans weren’t that shocked to see it, because this is just what Jokic does on a regular basis.
Last season, he averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.2 assists on 57.6 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from the three-point line.
It doesn’t matter who he is playing with or battling against, Jokic has an uncanny ability to find his teammates and produce amazing dishes like this.
That is what the Nuggets hope to see more of in the new season.
They have made some smart, important offseason adjustments in an attempt to build a stronger team around Jokic.
That means he will have some new and returning players to make assists for.
Will any of them be as incredible as this one?
Maybe not, but there is no doubt that Jokic will have a few tricks up his sleeve throughout 2025-26.
