Everything Nikola Jokic does on the basketball floor appears effortless, making him so entertaining. Jokic is among the greatest basketball players in history at doing extremely tough things that look easy, such as a difficult shot or a pass that no other player in the world can see. Of course, being as excellent as he is is extremely difficult.
The most recent instance of this occurred on Thursday night during the Denver Nuggets game against the Sacramento Kings. This was when Jokic made a foul-line shot just as the clock struck zero. The catch: he threw a basketball from 3/4 court straight into the hoop. Notably, it was the foul line across from the hoop he attempted to shoot into.
In less than an hour after being uploaded to the internet, this post has already received 10,000 likes and 436.6k views on the official X NBA account. Because Jokic consistently puts up impressive numbers, the term “triple-double” has come to become normal for him now. The game on Thursday is yet another excellent illustration.

Fans were astounded by his incredible stat line of 35 points, 22 rebounds, and 17 assists against the Kings on Tuesday. This is precisely the reason why Jokic received the most votes from the frontcourt for the NBA’s All-Star game. With Jokic putting up these kinds of performances regularly, he is surely making a case for this season’s NBA MVP award.
Fans left astonished by Nikola Jokic’s insane full court shot against Kings
Nuggets star Nikola Jokic has been in another form this particular season. In 37 games played, Jokic is averaging 30.1 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 9.9 assists this season. Not only that, but his stat line against the Kings also made history. The Serbian superstar joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only player in NBA history to record a game with 35+ PTS, 20+ REB, & 15+ AST.

Jokic leads the NBA in triple-doubles with 20 this season. As their impressive season continues, Denver has now won four straight games. Christian Braun, the Nuggets’ second-leading scorer with 21 points, and the other players in the starting lineup all scored in double figures, demonstrating the importance of this group.
