[Highlight] Jokic with 3 Sombor Slings in the WCF

34 comments

1. that game 4 one has to feel like a shotgun to the chest

2. It’s gotta be demoralizing knowing that you can’t do a single thing about it. All three of those were perfectly defended by LA

3. Honestly all of these are devastating – these r the type of shots that immediately change the flow of a game

   As a lakers fan in this series, I felt like I got punched in the gut whenever joker hit these shots / Murray hit a few wild ones too

   Just gotta tip your cap to the better guys tho!

4. What a legendary playoff run by this dude.

5. the last one might be the most iconic shot of this run/his career so far

   hot damn

6. When he hit the first one I remember thinking, well at least he’s not gunna hit another prayer like that he used all his luck up on that one.

   Guh

7. Really could’ve been the difference between a 4-0 series and a 2-2 tie

8. Has he ever not clean swished one of these? Absolutely insane

9. at the time i thought the lakers had a real chance in this series. but on reflection i understand that Denver had God on their side, and no other outcome was possible.

10. How can he shoot in this form😂😂 still dont get it but its awesome!!! Like watching a cartoon movie

11. When he did it the first time it seemed like luck. When he did it three times in four games it’s not luck, it’s just Jokic being amazing.

12. This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

13. 2nd one looked like it was going to be 10 feet short and just somehow got there. Unbelievable.

14. There were SO many shots that series that I just KNEW were gonna be rebounds smh Denver was playing with the sliders up lmao especially Game 1. Jokic is incredible none of this is luck in any way

15. Not sure if they would’ve won games 1 and 4 without these shots (and Murray’s own shot in the 4th quarter in game 1) considering the margin for victory in those games

16. All perfect swishes too, so satisfying.

17. I’ve said it before when it was like last yr or around bubble when he was hitting crazy ass clutch shots regularly that the more wild and it looks like Jokic is about to stumble and fall while shooting looks, the better chance it has of going in lmao

18. Murray quick turn to the Lakers bench after last one makes me laugh

19. Has to be the most frustrating shot in basketball right now.

20. Serious question: if he steps back and one foot is in the air but over the line is it considered a 2 or 3 pointer?

21. what’s crazy is that they were all nothing but net wtf

22. All of them swishes

23. what does sombor mean e:nvm city name

24. I’m sorry but a sombor sling sounds like a mixed drink (probably made with Rakija) that will get you fucked up at 2am

25. Ok so AD had his hands full guarding Joker straight up.

    Do y’all think Giannis could guard him straight up?

    Who would have the best shot? I honestly don’t know…

26. I call that the fuck it and chuck it method. Jokic just too good

27. Jokic is a catapult disguised as a person

28. It’s called a Sombor Shuffle btw

29. All three of these were so demoralizing

30. Guy is busted what is that

31. As a Lakers fan I really want Jokic to get his first ring. This man was fun to watch and it looked like he just pulled shit outta his ass. Only to come to learn that it’s just normal for him lol I can just imagine how much fun Denver fans were having all season

32. I remember seeing a twitter quote back in the bubble about Jokic along the lines of

    “He’ll waddle around like a panicked walrus on sand and will then tomahawk some bullshit over his head which is wetter than water.”

    That guy knew what was up.

33. When he made the first one I was like … no way he does this all series.
    He BOOMED me and the lakers 😫
    Touché Joker!

34. No lie, Denver should bring back that baby blue uniform/color.
