Nikola Jokic is among the best players in the world and is hot on the course to picking up a third consecutive MVP trophy. That is a distinction that has eluded even Michael Jordan and LeBron James, but Jokic is putting up arguably the best season of his entire career, with highlights and dominance.
Jokic’s no-look passes to find open shooters are a consistent treat that fans who watch the Denver Nuggets get to see. Everyone knows Nikola Jokic is a playmaking magician, but the reasons behind his incredible no-look passes are more to do with how modern NBA offenses are set up.
Jokic on no-look corner assists:''Sometimes i just throw a pass without knowing there is someone there. In NBA, coaches always ask from guys to stand in the corner and i like that because sometimes when i don't know what to do with the ball i just throw it to the corner.'' 😂 pic.twitter.com/KDhDmAU9X2

Even with Luka Doncic, another master of the no-look corner pass, this can be seen. These players know they’ll get multiple bodies once they collapse the defense towards the basket, leaving the corner man open, as it’s their job to run there. The players are usually there and give these players amazing highlights.
Nikola Jokic Headed Towards History
After the Nuggets’ strong win over the Boston Celtics, Jokic proved why he should be ahead of Jayson Tatum in the MVP standings. Despite the Celtics’ success this season, the Nuggets are entirely dependent on Jokic, who has carried them to the top spot in the West. He is the engine for the team, and his contributions have been remarkable.
Winning a third MVP might be impossible, as Jokic has to overcome a lot of voter fatigue in one of the best MVP races in recent memory. However, if he keeps playing the way he has through December, his coronation might be inevitable.
