Peyton Manning made an appearance during the Denver Nuggets' matchup against the Houston Rockets on Saturday night. Oh wait, that was actually Nikola Jokic.
This insane full-court dime from Jokic makes us confused. Is this basketball or are NFL scouts in attendance for Nikola's Pro day?

TOUCHDOWN!

What's even more impressive here is that there was only 0.9 seconds remaining on the clock when Jokic threw this peach of a pass. He knew exactly what he wanted to do as soon as he inbounded the ball, and evidently, PJ Dozier did too. Jokic's precision on this insane assist is just mind-blowing.
It even looked like Jokic stepped on the line when he threw the hail mary pass, but after multiple viewings, it is clear that he remained out of bounds.
Can you even imagine how much skill and arm strength is required to throw that one-handed 90-foot pass? If ever Jokic gets tired of basketball he could probably try his hand (or his arm rather) at being an NFL quarterback. Losing a generational talent like Jokic is going to be a shame for the sport of basketball though, especially considering how the Nuggets star is playing at an MVP caliber right now.
