How did Nikola Jokic know this was going to happen? 🤔 #shorts

This play didn’t make the highlight reels, but…🧐

Nikola Jokic definitely COULD NOT HAVE seen Austin Reaves coming from his blind side…but he still avoided the steal and turned the gamble by the LA Lakers into a wide open three for the Denver Nuggets.

Someone help us explain how though. 😅

He baited him like a pro 😂 and a team that can communicate without words can move efficiently.

Jokic is Serb.. for that he knows❤❤, love from Greece ❤❤

[VancouverGolfVilla]

He knows because he set it all up from the start. Then he just waited . ❤

[lorenzo]

He baited him and heard him coming. Jokic looks like a clumsy gentle giant but skill level is MVP status.

To avoid the steal and then to instantly pass to the wide open teammate is actually crazy.

He has very good intuition and somehow already know what players will do in advance. But he also heard him running from behind as well I’m sure.. amazing team, always a pleasure to watch.

He definitely heard the sneakers squeaking of the only defender on that side of the court

[elwingy]

Guy making that video never played basketball in his entire life.

He knew he was gonna get double teamed and Murray gave him the hand signal.
