Via Katy Winge of AltitudeTV: “Nikola Jokić tries anything and does it so much better than everyone else I don’t even care that this didn’t go in”
Many people reacted to the shot attempt.
@RIDING4Russ: “Would have been the greatest shot ever if it had went in lol. Bit the iq of jokic is just incredible. He must practice that. That can’t be the first time he’s tried this.”
@zachgotlieb: “There’s absolutely no reason this should have been as close as it was”
@DKSportsbook: “Literally HOW did Jokic almost find a way to make this full court shot 😂”
@TonyREast: “Jokic just had… probably the greatest missed shot in NBA history”
@theironmamba: “Jokic just had the most amazing missed shot I’ve ever seen.
A one-handed, 88-foot, .03 left tap that was way closer than what should be humanly possible.”
@MikeyDalvit: “If Jokic had made that tap shot full court they should have handed him the MVP on the spot”
