Nikola Jokic is the best-passing center of all-time.

His court vision and creativity were on full display in the Nuggets’ win over the Clippers last night.

First, he grabbed a rebound with one hand so he could immediately assist Jamal Murray on a long pass:

Then, Jokic passed to himself off the backboard to set up a wide-open layup:

Jokic finished with 18 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists.

As for which highlight was better? I prefer the self-alley-oop, but I wouldn’t argue with anyone who said the full-court touch pass. Both plays were beautiful.
