Nikola Jokić arguably pulled off the greatest pass in basketball history during a preseason clash against the Utah Jazz. Operating from behind the backboard, he whipped a behind-the-back bullet straight into the hands of Cam Johnson, who buried the corner three nothing but net. The American forward reflected on the viral highlight, admitting that, as crazy as it might sound, he was fully anticipating the delivery.

"I wasn't surprised by the pass; I was actually expecting it. As crazy as that sounds, I was expecting it. He looked when he caught it on the baseline. I drifted a bit toward the corner because I figured if a pass was coming, it would have to be from that angle. He can make any pass, like I said. Just find windows and he'll find you. He scans the floor better than anyone. He had a pass the other day against Chicago where he drove slowly on purpose, allowing Aaron Gordon to cut to the rim and pulling my defender into the paint. I took two steps toward the corner and he just whipped the pass out. It might look simple, but he just processes the game differently. He has a basketball computer in his brain with how he manipulates the ball. You see it on rebounds, how he controls the ball as he grabs it—when you combine all those skills, he's unstoppable." – Cam Johnson
