We’ve all seen Stephen Curry’s wild practice ꜱҺoтs that make him one of the most entertaining players to watch in the NBA, but Nikola Jokic is vying for that title.
The two-time Serbian MVP, renowned more for his unconventional “Sombor Shuffle” than Steph’s silky three-point ꜱҺoт, displayed an incredible skill in a Denver Nuggets sҺooтaround that had fans on social media going crazy.
In warm-ups, Jokic sҺooтs left-handed.
Jokic begins the video by taking two regular, right-handed jump ꜱҺoтs while practicing corner threes before the Nuggets’ game against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. Doesn’t it appear unremarkable?

It is, until he takes the third pass and swishes it left-handed with barely any adjustment. Nikola moves back to the right for the last ꜱҺoт, making all four three-pointers in the sequence.
The Joker’s trick ꜱҺoт went viral on social media.
“I’m sorry was that random ꜱҺoт in the middle…lefty?!?!?” As she published the video, Nuggets reporter Katy Winge commented on X, formerly Twitter.
“Larry Bird 2.0,” one commenter on X remarked.
“If you want to guard him successfully, just make him go left,” another social media post remarked, referencing the Joker’s detractors. “I think he is watching what certain *experts* are saying.”
