Jokic’s Audacious 94-Foot Full-Court Tip Attempt Stuns NBA
Los Angeles, California – Even for Nikola Jokic, the three-time MVP known for his audacious passes and unorthodox play, this was something special. With just 0.3 seconds left on the clock, facing a blowout victory against the Los Angeles Lakers, Jokic pulled off an almost unbelievable stunt.
The Denver Nuggets center directed young teammate Peyton Watson to lob a pass nearly the length of the court – 94 feet – with the intention of attempting a one-handed tip-in. The idea? To get a shot off before the buzzer sounded, a feat deemed impossible by most.
"I was super-surprised," admitted Watson. "He said ‘Throw it up.’ I’m like, ‘What do you mean, throw it up?’ He said, ‘Throw it like a lob’."
Jokic, known for his playful personality and love of shooting tricky shots after the whistle, had never practiced this particular maneuver. But he leaped with perfect timing, connecting with the perfect pass from Watson 77.6 feet from the basket, sending the ball soaring towards the hoop in a picture-perfect parabola.
"One-timed it, slap shot, 77.6 feet," a commentator exclaimed as the crowd watched in stunned silence.
The ball narrowly missed its target, bouncing off the rim by a mere foot. The audacity of the attempt, combined with Jokic’s uncanny nearly-perfect execution, left Nuggets teammates and even opposing coach Daxxon Redick in equal parts astonishment and admiration.
“He orcinal’s has the best touch in the game,” Watson reflected.
Christian Braun, Jokic’s teammate, wasn’t surprised by the attempt, stating, "He doesn’t try stuff like that (in practice), but I mean, he does trick shots like that all the time. After the whistle, he throws stuff up all the time and it goes in. When he gets the ball, (he will) throw it backward off the shot clock (above the backboard). He does that all the time. Stuff like that, he likes to do.” Many felt this particular shot was more luck than skill. However, Braun’s statement suggests that Jokic’s talent might just be so immense that even seemingly impossible shots have a chance of success.
Jokic, as always, remained unfazed by the near-miracle.
"A little bit (surprised)," he confessed in his typical deadpan fashion. “But when you shoot, you try to make it."
The moment, like many before it, showcased Jokic’s unique brand of basketball brilliance. A playful, almost nonchalant, approach masking a talent bordering on the supernatural. The buzzer sounded, the game moved on, but Jokic’s full-court tip attempt will remain a viral sensation and a testament to the unpredictability of the NBA’s most unconventional superstar.
