If forced to select an NBA player for a laid-back half-court buzzer-beater, this individual would be the choice.

Jokic loves a long-distance buzzer beater.

Prior to the NBA's alteration of heave rules, which removed them from individual field-goal percentage calculations, the majority of players refrained from attempting long-range shots. However, Jokic continued to do so. This presents an enjoyable minor test for him.

And more often than you'd expect, Jokic makes it.

The Nuggets secured a crucial victory in a tight contest against the Memphis Grizzlies Monday evening. Instead of entering the final quarter with a five-point advantage, they held an eight-point lead.

Denver went on to win, 125-115.

Naturally, Jokic had a triple-double.

The final stats for Jokic:

  • 17 points
  • 10 rebounds
  • 16 assists
  • 5-9 FG
  • 3-4 3FG
  • 4-5 FT
  • 2 steals

Just another day at the office for The Joker.
