Preseason or not, I'm calling this the best pass I've seen all year.
What makes it special isn't just the no-look behind-the-back, it's that Jokic already knows the weak side corner has to be filled in their offense. He doesn't need to see his guy, he just needs to know where the defense collapsed and trust the system to do the rest.
Watch the mechanics too. The extra dribble gets his hand wrapped over the top, he bends at the waist for leverage and space, and that wrist flick is what gets the ball spinning accurately enough to land right in the shooter's pocket.
Dip, jump, splash. That's just a top 5 pass in this league, period. #shorts
