It may only be preseason, but Nikola Jokić is already in midseason wizard mode. During the Denver Nuggets’ exhibition matchup against the Toronto Raptors in Vancouver, the three-time MVP pulled off a jaw-dropping highlight that instantly went viral: a no-look, 360° whip pass from the baseline to the opposite corner.

The play left both the crowd and social media stunned. Even though new teammate Cam Johnson missed the open three that would have capped the sequence, the pass itself was enough to spark a wave of reactions online.
Fans flooded X with disbelief:
- “What kind of witchcraft is this?”
- “Jokić just sees the game in slow motion.”
- “Absolute wizardry — Vancouver is speechless.”
On the court, Raptors forward Scottie Barnes could be seen glancing back at Jokić in disbelief, as if to ask how he even attempted the pass.
Jokić finished the night with 17 points, six rebounds, and five assists in just 21 minutes, shooting a perfect 5-for-5 from the field. But it was the pass, not the stat line, that stole the show.
