Denver Nuggets star big man Nikola Jokic has always been renowned for his superb passing ability, but he looked more like an NFL quarterback than an NBA center on Sunday night.
The Nuggets led the Toronto Raptors on Sunday when Jokic collected a rebound and, in one motion, delivered a pinpoint full-court strike on the money to teammate Gary Harris for an easy layup.

Tom Brady would probably be proud of that one.
Jokic is not the most athletic force in the league. He does not have the skill of a Kevin Durant or the length of a Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, the Nuggets star possesses some of the most elite court vision in the NBA and is as creative a passer as any in the modern era.
The 25-year-old is averaging 6.7 assists to go along with 20.8 points and 10.0 rebounds this 2019-20 season. it is also worth noting that he is a consistent triple-double threat.
Nikola Jokic was especially dominant this past month for the Nuggets, averaging 25.5 points, 10.0 rebounds and 7.2 assists while posting a .706 true shooting percentage and a +22 net rating.
āThe Jokerā simply makes winning plays, and he is not afraid to take risks when he spots an opening in the defense.
