NBA basketball has only just returned (sort of) with preseason action, but Denver Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic already looks like he’s in midseason form and already imagining “choco cookies.”
Jokic and the Nuggets began their preseason slate against the defending champion Golden State Warriors, and The Joker made them look a bit foolish on one particular play, which was posted by Michael Gallagher on Twitter.

After catching the ball at the top of the key and quickly working on Warriors big man Damian Jones, Jokic then dropped a nasty no-look behind-the-back pass to a cutting Gary Harris, who scored on a goaltended layup along the baseline.
Nikola Jokic made a habit of making those types of gorgeous passes last season when he emerged as one of the most promising young players in the league. And after just one preseason game, it’s safe to say we should all expect to be treated for more of the same delicious dimes from the Nuggets' Serbian big man this season.
