"Air Serbia!" US Commentator Stunned by Jokic: On-Air Reaction to Monster Dunk Goes Viral! /VIDEO/
Whenever the game was on the line, the Serbian maestro took full command, steering his team to a thrilling victory after 53 minutes of relentless action. The Serbian superstar once again put on a clinic on the NBA hardwood, stuffing the stat sheet with a monstrous triple-double: 35 points on 12-of-23 shooting from the field, a flawless 8-of-8 from the free-throw line, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists.
Fasten your seatbelts, ready for takeoff!
Right from the opening tip, Jokic dictated a tempo the Pelicans simply couldn't handle. He knocked down clutch shots in bunches and dismantled the visitors' defense with wizardly playmaking. Christian Braun, Aaron Gordon, and Jamal Murray turned his highlight-reel passes from deep and inside the paint into easy buckets, allowing Denver to claw back, stage a massive comeback, and deliver the knockout punch in overtime.
Beyond the eye-popping box score, the play of the night taking social media by storm happened in the second quarter with New Orleans leading 69-50. Jokic caught the ball at the top of the key, sold a brilliant pump fake that sent his defender flying, and left the entire Pelicans defense stranded. Instead of his trademark floater or kick-out pass, Jokic aggressively drove to the rack, elevated, and threw down a thunderous two-handed slam that shook the entire rim!
The electrifying play ignited the home crowd in Denver and stunned the broadcast crew. The commentator was left in complete awe, shouting a call that instantly went viral:
For Nikola, this is just a game!
Air Serbia is cleared for takeoff!
It was another unforgettable showcase proving why the Serbian center is a generational basketball phenomenon. The regular season has barely started, and Jokic is already operating in championship gear.
