2021 MVP and Nuggets star Nikola Jokic made a pass that was so sick; it triggered an NSFW response from a Spurs veteran.
With the absence of Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. from the Nuggets, Jokic has another extraordinary performance this season, averaging over 26 points, 13 rebounds, and seven assists per game. This clip of the pass is just a glimpse of Jokic's sick repertoire recognized by many across the league.
Jokic's insane pass from the Nuggets vs. Spurs clash back in October triggered a unique response from NBA vet Thaddeus Young, who is spending significant time on the bench— a role that he isn't used to. Nevertheless, Young is a crucial part of a rebuilding Spurs squad trying to build its own identity within a packed Western Conference.
Ask Thad Young about "the pass" Nikola Jokic threw against the Spurs in October, and he smiles:

“The one where he threw between like four mother—?”
Young's reaction is warranted. Usually, throwing a cross-court pass is dangerous because of the ball's vulnerability for steals. However, a player like Jokic makes it look too easy, garnering hyped reactions even from the Nuggets bench.
Amid Jokic's impressive season, the Nuggets have their work cut out for them as they stand at eighth in the conference, with a 12-13 win-loss record. Their recent 111-123 loss to the rebuilding Spurs indeed isn't a good sign.
However, with a brilliant coach like Mike Malone and a star player like Jokic, who knows? Maybe the Nuggets can make a strong playoff push this season.
