With time winding down on the shock clock and Portland Trailblazers center DeAndre Ayton firmly in his grill, Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic threw up a prayer from the corner on Monday night.

He hit it, of course. Because he's Nikola Jokic.

Here's a look at the absurd play from the three-time MVP:

The rainbow-style three-pointer gave the Nuggets a 26-13 lead over Portland, and it also gave NBA fans a chance to talk about just how incredible of a player Jokic is. Here's a look at some of the best reactions across X (formerly Twitter):

Jokic is averaging a triple-double so far this season—notching 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.3 assists per game as the Nuggets have gotten out to a 34-19 start to their 2024-25 campaign.

The 6'11" is putting together quite a résumé for his potential fourth NBA MVP award.
