Nikola Jokić

Few seven-footers possess the shooting touch to attempt fadeaway threes, but Nikola Jokić makes the impossible look routine. Early in Denver's dominant home victory, the Serbian maestro backed down his defender on the right wing before spinning into his signature turnaround motion. Despite the high degree of difficulty from 23 feet out, Jokić's fadeaway jumper found nothing but net with 10:11 left in the opening quarter, giving Denver an early 5-2 advantage. The reigning Finals MVP poured in 30 points with 12 rebounds and 6 assists as the Nuggets cruised to a 103-84 victory over Boston on February 25, 2026.
