Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is the best passing big man in the league right now, and the Phoenix Suns saw that first hand on Sunday.

The 24-year-old Serbian caught the ball deep down low, causing the Suns defense to collapse on him. Like he had eyes on the back of his head, Jokic saw a cutting Garry Harris and dropped a shifty no look feed for the easy deuce.

Jokic and the rest of the Nuggets were already going back to the other end of the floor before the bewildered Phoenix defense even knew what hit them.

Jokic is expected to make his second consecutive All-Star appearance this season, with averages of 17.3 points on 46.6 shooting from the field, to go along with 9.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.2 steals in 30.9 minutes. His numbers took a slight dip from last year, but Denver is currently enjoying a four game winning streak and is second in the Western Conference standings with an 11-3 record.
