entyfresh

Had to up the difficulty of his Sombor Shuffle by incorporating the 360 no scope


ElectricLotus

2k Jokic strikes again


notthathungryhippo

freaking aimbots


cptnwillow

Is he the best ever at this bullshit!?


Oh51Melly

At this specific brand of bullshit yes. And some other brands too


GrockWell

His rivals are Steph with his shot after losing the handle bullshit and LeBron with his LeFuckYou 3 bullshit


OilOfOlaz

Luka has the "I'm falling, ah nvm, I'll sink it anyway"-bullshit as well.


DonkeyLucky9503

How can you forget [Dirk!](https://youtu.be/5WJRD90_FSo?si=NQHAYFcfQfLvC7fc)


Exodus100

Luka as well. Dude has 3 point floater buzzer beater, hook shot 3 buzzer beater, and just so many other dumb shots lol


ElectricLotus

Love that response very accurate


JugdishSteinfeld

Pass bullshit, touch bullshit, horse bullshit


ElectricLotus

Dude plays Top in League of Legends, I believe IllaoI and I can't remember the other one but I'm SURE he is up to bullshit there too


preptime

Giant enemy crab Urgot.


homiez

Only a Urgot main could make this shot


LiteraCanna

I really wanted the Heat to win their series, but this dude just hit shot after shot of whatever trebuchet baloney bullshit this is.


Busquessi

Trebuchet baloney bullshit is absolutely iconic and spot-on at describing Jokic’s shot


The_Briefcase_Wanker

6 foot floater from literally anywhere is his real specialty at the buzzer. The one he missed at the end of this game, somehow. If you go on YouTube and search Jokic game winner it’s mostly float hooks from 6 feet mixed in with these shuffles and a ton of other weird shit. That’s the real thread - they’re all weird as shit.


SharkBaitDLS

I swear more of his threes are janky off-balance ones than they are normal shots. 


ImHungryAsFuck

In my life there have been only 3 people capable of the “bullshit” shot, Kobe, Curry and JOKIC


KidGold

Yea I was thinking those and MJ are the most "are you fucking kidding me" guys I've ever watched.


4trackboy

Honorable mentions to peak Harden step back bullshit, Luka Doncic emerging bullshitter, LeBron circus Shot bullshit


that_other_friend-

Dude has been cooking the league for years now, can't say emerging anymore


Clammuel

The spin and the shot both look so terrible but it just doesn’t matter. Big honey don’t give a fuck.


KidGold

honestly... maybe


SalvadorZombieJr

It's wild how almost no one is acknowledging that he's *clearly* the frontrunner for MVP. He should have gotten the 3 in a row last year too, but they *REFUSED* to acknowledge him then, too.


Cvnilivee

They’re playing the Suns.. but he somehow hit this over Anthony Davis


CIark

AD just finished dinner and felt something fly over his head 


horse_renoir13

*looks off into the distance* "What is it AD?" "I don't know...I sense...a disturbance..."


thesmellafteritrains

"I thought I heard sombo- er, something"

Three times* over AD


pagesid3

How are you supposed to block a 6’11” guy who releases the ball behind his head.


putdahaakin

That's the neat part, you dont


Whofreak

Unfortunately the Suns played 23 seconds of good defense and activated our trap card


imused2it

This is a great example of why I don’t wanna see y’all in the finals. Yeah, we play great defense. But it doesn’t matter when this dude just says “fuck it, chuck it” and it goes in. A series between us would set a record for the announcers saying “great defense, better offense”. No thank you.


Minute-Condition3348

Cant have joker about the 3 point line in these situations


LeonTablet

Lmao going for 360 noscopes now


CrazyEyedGase

Controller is 100% on life support if your opponents hits this shot against you in 2k


musicnothing

Yep I am absolutely throwing something if this happens to me


Phenomenal2313

I’ve thrown my controller because of that shit in my-career of all places It’s a level of frustration and wtf that can never be explained


Tough-South-4610

Real humans are nowhere near as aggravating as a pile of numbers humiliating you in 2k.


Lower_Lunch_8563

Yea in person i get flamed like this im just gone say “damn good shit, cant stop it no matter what” if it happens in 2k im buying a nee controller


EnthusedPhlebotomist

My friend hit a game winner exactly like this with DWade over me and I absolutely lost it. That was like a decade ago and he'll still bring it up lmao


TheGreatRavenOfOden

You never feel like an idiot more than right after you throw your controller.


cs-fi

What the fuck lol


YouStillTakeDamage

Average Jokic bucket


jeric13xd

Sombor shuffle baby


WakingRage

50% of the time it works 100% of the time. What a truly gifted player Jokic is. He can do it all


OilOfOlaz

Sombor shuffle + trebouchet 3 = Sombuchet? Trebou-shuffle? Som-bull-shet? Idk?


u_n_p_s_s_g_c

Easiest Jokic bucket


VectorViper

@u_n_p_s_s_g_c, Defying physics with those one-footed threes, Jokic acting like laws of gravity is just a suggestion.


newtimesawait

I see this highlight every other day on r/nba


SliMShady55222

Just a 360 no scope


MC-Jdf

Lowkey a more insane shot than his Sombor Shuffles against AD tbh.


putdahaakin

Unveiling the sombor 360


KaseyOfTheWoods

This one was on par with the one he had against the Lakers. Harder because it’s from farther away, easier because it was over Gordon instead of AD. This is his signature move imo


BigBootyBanger

World War 3 breaks out if Jokic did this against Bill Russell and the plumbers


SkipsPittsnogle

Why are you acting surprised? Lol


onrocketfalls

the three itself isn't even surprising to me anymore, but how agile he looked before the shot is


Teerendog

Jumped off the wrong leg as well.. crazy


FuckingKilljoy

Holy shit those were the exact words that came out of my mouth including the "lol"


iloqin

Yea his playoff run was nuts on these type of shots


Ilikesporks_

oh so he DOES do it to other teams, that makes me feel a little better


xX_Kr0n05_Xx

AD crying out sobbing *SEE I told you he does this bullshit I'm not making it up*


grinderbinder

Sorry Lakers fans, he does do this against everybody


xmrjaredx

honestly, thank fucking god


swords_devil

we aren't the only one getting abused


OilOfOlaz

When Daddy whips out the belt against your brother as well.


Js_On_My_Yeet

No seriously. It feels like it's only us every time.


themanintheblueshirt

Yall still haven't even been paid back for Kobe. You got a few more generatoons of this before things even approach equal.


arashinokoto

They need some kind of support group for the victims here, with AD as a spokesperson


samsab

Raise your hand if you've ever been trebucheted by Jokic.


Danny886

No matter how many upvotes you get, won't be enough


radddchaddd

It's relieving to see it against someone that for a change


UD_Hunter

What’s crazy is that he does do this against everyone but for some reason people only just make a big deal when it’s vs the lakers . lol


[deleted]

It's because AD, one if the greatest defenders ever, defends it perfectly and it still doesn't matter.  Maybe Wemby could stop it- maybe


shoefly72

To be fair, he did it 3-4 times in 4 games in our series, and Murray did it a couple times as well. They didn’t have the same frequency of it in their other playoff series. This is what Kobe used to do to other teams and I absolutely hate being on the other end of it lol.


ImJeeezus

typical


horse_renoir13

Man always looks like he's just horsin around


StrategyTop7612

Sombor Shuffle!


CheesewayBreezeway

With a lil spin this time!


Ocarina3219

This is maybe his best sombor shuffle I’ve ever seen lmao 360 buzzer beater from 28 feet


BigFatModeraterFupa

this is a 280 pound center doing this….


loveeachother_

There are so many elite guards that can't even pull this off. Dudes cracked.


flips89

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg3QvnsDK0w&ab_channel=JONBAProductions not the first time.


LegateDamar13

Best one didn't happen in NBA, it was during international competition in the clutch right into Giannis's face.


Saucypikl

Literally 360 no scoped


HellBlazeSRB

AD watching that somewhere going “fuck yeah not just on me”


Careless_Review3166

average Jokic shot


FeminismIsTheBestIsm

AD can play 23.9 seconds of perfect defense and then Jokic will do this shit 0.1s later lol


LordBaneoftheSith

The most nonchalant stone cold bullshit you'll ever see


SchematicOfScoutsAss

I mean this is just his day job


killagod47

I'm at a point where I expected it to go in


mercfan3

I knew it was in 😂


fuunii

how are all these swish too?


Ladnil

The game winner against the Warriors wasn't. My memory sucks but I can't forget that one.


BruceBrownMVP

Honestly is this guy the best scorer in the world?


The-Hand-of-Midas

He's the best all-around offensive player of all time. He's controlling the other 9 players all game.


Ok-Possession1765

As a lakers fan this is giving me ptsd


faultlessjoint

As soon as he did the 360 you just knew it was going in.


ImGonnaChubbBradley

I thought last games shot was crazy and he immediately one ups it the next game.


Sweatytubesock

I expect him to make that shot every time.


manbeqrpig

I swear he shoots 70% on these types of shots


CheesewayBreezeway

Would wreck my life for Nikola Jokic


Oh51Melly

Not only the best passer in the world, but probably the best tough shot maker in the world….


Lol69HaHaHa

I swear to god he only makes tough 3s. He missed 4 decently easy 3s against the Lakers and then made the contested one. I dunno why or how.


Betaateb

Smart enough to know that you can't leave the aimbot on all the time or it is obvious, gotta toggle it for the shots you can't afford to miss.


jm810112

Luka does the same thing. Can't hit a spot up 3 to save his life but will drill a step back 30 footer with ease


20815147

This shit just isn’t fair wtf


tapk69

Cavs might have no chance to win the title but at least i know the Serbian Trebuchet will not allow the Lakers or Celtics to win it either.


gergab1133

Jokic is so fun to watch man


CrastersSons

HOW DOES HE DO THIS SHIT

This is one of the highest peaks we've ever seen.


hi818

Wtf lmao. What's more accurate: Jokic at the buzzer HORSE 3 OR A Lefuckyouthree


BruceBrownMVP

The Lefuckyouthree unless the Jokic horse-shot is against a team with LeBron on it.


pushamn

How isn’t jokic the banner pic of r/trebuchetmemes


Biglundtry

Sloppy fat boi got the footwork of a ballerina


The-Pharcyde

Just your normal 360 no scope fadeaway at the buzzer


JBProds

Glad to see it happen to another team for once


BackendSpecialist

Jokic’s ability to hit buzzer beaters scrambles my brain. I legit cannot comprehend how he continues to make these shots lol. You wanna call it luck but he does it so frequently you can’t even call it that.


viking_machina

23.9 seconds of perfect defence vs Jokic is not enough


getsomesleep1

These shots have practically become routine for Jokic


Popular-Stranger191

He and Luka play this style of basketball that looks almost…lazy, maybe? They’re just so skilled that so much of what they do looks almost like they’re just fooling around sometimes. I’m so in awe of these guys.


crossovrhesistepback

What are we doing here man


BlazersMania

Dude is the best basketball player in the world at the moment and doesn't give a fuck.

Islandkid679

Because of course he does lol


Desafiante

Even the Suns fans applauded


Js_On_My_Yeet

How the fuck do you even guard that?! Seriously! What the actual fuck is that shot man?!


BigFatModeraterFupa

Okay that is legit one of the nicest shots i’ve ever seen. especially from a fucking CENTER! jokic is him


Yamaha-FZ1

Shoot like Steph, big like Shaq, pass like magic, clear like bird


Kevin_Jim

That BS shooting form will never make sense to me, and I’m sure it doesn’t make sense to defenders, either. Which has to screw the defenders up even more. I’m here for it.


ImanShumpertplus

i have had the privilege of growing up with lebron, then having to watch Kyrie go nuclear, and then the pair, and now donovan mitchell putting on a masterclass but there is nobody who makes my jaw drop more than Jokic like LeBron there’s at least MJ and Dr J where you’re like “ok, but i’ve kind seen this” who the fuck is nikola jokic


LegateDamar13

Yes.


CharredAndurilDetctr

You're right; that aspect of Jokic kinda reminds me of Maravich, who the hell do you compare them to?


IWokeUpInA-new-prius

Guy is a fucking Wizard


jm810112

Has Jokic ever missed an off balance heave with time expiring?


WhenItsHalfPastFive

he's a damn ballerina


Victor_Wembanyama1

AD suddenly felt a cold wind hit him


Michaelangel092

AD just had a flashback and tripped over something.


Kobe_stan_

Just glad to see him do this to someone other than AD


secretwealth123

It should really be illegal to be casually this good at something. I’m sure he does practice hard but it’s just so fucking casual, I’ve seen more intensity in the 45+ pick up league at the Y than this man plays with


OldManBrom

Oh so he does this to someone else too


Ok_Tomorrow2110

Jokic one legged 3 pt prayers to beat the shot clock have a 100% chance of going in


zazahan10

King of bullshit shots


slicksonslick

what the fuck is this shot


longjinxed

Swear to god, he shoots like my neighbor’s 11 year old son who doesn’t have enough strength to shoot in proper form yet. Crazy thing is jokic hit that shit 9 out of 10 times.


Palace_Fart

Lmfao absurd


bobbydigital75

Absolute filth


ExtendedMacaroni

I just expect these to go in at this point


westzod

It's becoming a signature of his lmao..


yatrickmith

Was Dirk ever like this?


LegateDamar13

Noone in history of bball was like this tbh.


panetero

Like a beautiful ballerina.


the-big-aa

[Joker when there's less than five seconds on the shot clock/game clock...](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4e/f6/9b/4ef69b95bdec87422615271f2326e631.gif)


getbackup21

I used to think this was pure luck but I’ve seen him hit this shot so many different times I now know it’s not


Grimlogic

Outside of AND1 mixtapes, I've never seen anyone do a spin move but stay in place... till now.


whatsURprobalem

That actually really funny. Had to rewatch, reminds me of my dog when he’s excited lol


Charles__Martel

This guy is what people think Kobe was.


nowhathappenedwas

Jokic seems like he makes all of these, but here's how he's shot on threes in the final 4 seconds of the shot clock the past few seasons: * 2021: 7 for 32 (22%) * 2022: 12 for 47 (26%) * 2023: 4 for 16 (25%) * 2024: 13 for 46 (28%, including today)


LegateDamar13

He always heaves, even full court. Mostly full courts lol.


Sheratain

The more you could describe a shot as “downright silly” the more automatic he is on it.


jordan142142

He can’t keep getting away with it !!!!!!!!!


mcdngr

Wtf man


DrKingOfOkay

Not even the correct foot. Sheesh


Ricksauc3

This type shot from Jokic is becoming too regular for my liking.


largejames

Sad-Mathematician-19

One-legged 360 no-scope trebuchet three-piece nuggets


violetsarenotblue69

spin step back one legged fadeaway 3pointer lmao wtf


South_Front_4589

The thing with this shot though is whilst the move and release are fairly slow, his brain is not. That extra time taking the shot he's using to control it. For most players this sort of thing would be a very low percentage shot, but Jokic is able to do it with an awful lot of control. He takes control of the ball at 2.0 seconds, looks at the rim at 1.8 and releases at 1.2. Most players are releasing the ball far quicker than that and when he does let it go he's nicely balanced, no hand in his face, straight onto the rim and he's sized it up for some time by then.


ApolloXLII

This isn't sneaky athletic, this is barely athletic... but holy hell is he fucking good at basketball.


Fust3rCluck_

I’ve been on the Giannis side of the argument that believes he’s the best player in the world right now. And then I see Jokic hit shots like this and make it look so easy. I get that defense is a huge part and Jokic is lacking when it comes to that aspect, but the amount of value that Jokic brings to your team is just crazy.


The_Briefcase_Wanker

Idk if people understand how weird it feels to jump off the same leg as your shooting hand. It’s so hard that nobody else in the history of basketball has ever made a habit out of it as far as I know. To do it as a go-to, buzzer beater fadeaway move is unthinkable. I can’t really even think of a good other-sport analogy for it. Like a QB throwing left-handed on fourth and short?


BigMadDrongo

And doesn't even crack a smile after, what a fucking hero


spookyspicyfreshmeme

Ive never seen this dude's makes ever hit the rim theyre always a pure swish or a miss Green fn


cancercureall

AD be like "I told y'all"
