Pass of the Year candidate in preseason? Watch Nikola Jokic’s behind-the-back dime

Nikola Jokic made the case for one with a cross-court, behind-the-back pass from one corner to the other, landing right in Cameron Johnson’s shooting pocket — this is wizardry.

NO-LOOK. CROSSCOURT. BEHIND-THE-BACK DIME.

Insane.

If Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon can largely stay healthy this season — and especially if Johnson can find his groove again — Denver is going to be a problem in the West.
