Another Denver Nuggets game, another remarkable effort from Nikola Jokić. The reigning NBA MVP scored 35 points (13-of-15 from the field), pulled down 12 rebounds, and dished out eight assists in Denver’s 113-107 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night.

While Jokić did plenty of impressive things — as usual — in this game, one pass in the second quarter was particularly amazing.

Jokić made a no-look, over-the-head pass — past multiple defenders — with his back turned to the basket and found Will Barton under the hoop. Unfortunately, Barton was unable to turn it into points and a Jokić assist, but that doesn’t take away from how incredible the play was.

Here’s how it looked in live action:

And the replay angle offers a great look at it:

Absurd.
