“Best missed shot of all time”? Jokic comes close to miracle in Lakers-Denver Nuggets game
Nikola Jokic in Lakers-Denver Nuggets performance of what might be ‘the best missed shot ever’: this is the video.
Nikola Jokic dominated the NBA night match between the Los Angeles Lakers and his Denver Nuggets. The Serbian centre scored a game-high 34 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out eight assists, while also delivering what many fans are calling ‘the best missed shot of all time’. With 0.3 seconds left in the third period, the Nuggets centre received the ball on a baseline inbounds pass and, with one touch of the ball – because, according to NBA rules, 0.3 seconds is not enough time to receive the ball and take a shot – he threw the ball towards the opponent’s basket, only to miss what would have been a miraculous basket.
