There are always certain signs that the new NBA season is upon us. The calendar turns to October, the weather starts to feel like Fall, training camps open, stuff like that. Once all of those things happen, it's only a matter of time before nightly basketball is back in our lives again until June.

Another easy way to tell that NBA basketball is on the horizon is whenever Nikola Jokic decides to do some insane shit during one of the Nuggets' preseason games. Once we live in a world where our timelines are being blessed with a Jokic pass that immediately melts your brain, you know we're getting close.

I'm sorry, excuse me? What the hell did my eyes just witness? You can probably count on one hand how many players in the world even identify that pass is an option in the first place. You probably only need a few fingers for the number of players who have the presence of mind and guts to throw that type of pass, and even fewer fingers for the number of players who can complete it perfectly, deliver the ball right in the shooting pocket which then leads to a 3PM. Every single thing about that pass was incredible, and the crazy thing is this is just par for the course when it comes to Jokic. One of the best parts of the NBA season is the ability to flip on a Nuggets game and watch Nikola Jokic do some cool shit while passing the ball. I'll never, ever, ever get tired of that shit

There's nothing quite like watching the best of the best do what makes them great, and Nikola Jokic's vision and playmaking ability are certainly two of the reasons why he's one of the best we'll ever see.

A behind the back no look cross court pass? Ho hum. No big deal if you're Nikola Jokic, I guess. Guy is casually throwing potential passes of the year in games that don't even count. What a player.
