    What I love about Jokic's passing is that it isn't flashy just for the sake of being flashy. If he goes behind-the-back, it's because that was the **only** way to get the pass through. If he does a no-look, it's because he needed to freeze the defender. everything he does has purpose.

For me, he's the epitome of what makes basketball such a beautiful game. And his floating soft-touch shots in the lane are unlike anything I have ever seen from a big man. So much fun to watch.

    Nikola Jokic is the evolution of what we should have had if we had prime Arvydas Sabonis in the league before he got run into the ground. He is the next level of a player we never got to see: a 7-footer with a 3-point shot and an array of passes out of the Magic Johnson/Pete Maravich playbook.

    Jokic passes are insane! And most beautiful and brilliant! No one in the history of basketball even comes close, not even Magic Johnson. Nikola Jokic does it all. He pushes the ball up the court like a point guard, dribbles with the ball behind the back, shoots 3-pointers, makes no-look ridiculous passes, scores, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks..... and he does it all in total ease. grace, smoothness and calmness with his intelligence at work instead of making unnecessary flashy moves or doing more than what's needed. He has taken over Larry Bird as the most intelligent and the greatest basketball player of all time.

    Yes. As long as you are willing to accept your role on the team, that you won’t be alpha, you will get buckets. Not every NBA player wants to be anything other than the alpha. So they require players who can accept their roles. Even Jamal Murray can’t just do his own thing. Lots of stars don’t accept the role player position until they’re long used up, like Chris Paul or Dwight Howard. I can’t imagine Jayson Tatum or James Harden being able to play Jamal Murray’s position. Or Lamelo Ball. I think Kyrie Irving now can, who seems to be willing to pass more than Harden. Maybe Steph Curry as well.

    Can't comment on whether Jokic is better than Magic as a passer. I get to see him play everytime but I've only seen highlights of Magic. But how can this guy not be an S tier passer? He has to be right there in the conversation with anyone who's ever been called a great passer. He makes every pass in the book and passes no one even thinks are possible at an elite level. True no looks (none of that lame look away after the pass is made that other guys do), touch passes, half court bounce passes, outlet passes, entry passes, lobs, skip passes, behind the back, over the shoulder, over the head etc etc. He's all-time great at misdirection, anticipation, and high level reads, basketball IQ stuff most NBA players never even become good at. As a pure passer, what can't he do at an all-time great level?

    There was an interview with him a few months back on a Serbian television, and the interviewer asked him "Do you always know where your teammates are when you deliver no-look passes, or is it luck sometimes?" and he replied "Since I joined NBA, there's this thing that I really like, that we don't do in Europe - NBA teams insist on having someone cover corners during the attack, so sometimes when I don't know what to do with the ball, I just blast it behind me and hope for the best."

    I have not been interested in the NBA for quite a while. The 80's up through the Kobe/Shaq years were my prime viewing years. The game just became so formulaic and one on one driven. Seeing Jokic finding people like this, going for the pass over taking his own shots is entertaining as hell. And seeing how his teammates are locked in with this style, so totally ready at all times for his quick passes is awesome. The complete game philosophy works, and winning the championship doesn't hurt as confirmation.
