Nikola Jokić’s 55-Point Masterpiece: Is This the Most Unbelievable Season in NBA History?

The only players in Stathead’s database to make three-quarters of their attempts inside the arc in a season are Mitchell Robinson, DeAndre Jordan, Jaxson Hayes and Gary Payton II. They all took fewer than five 2-point shots per game. Jokić is taking nearly 12, taking them from a significantly farther average distance, and doing it against game plans geared specifically toward stopping him … and he’s still reducing it all to rubble. His touch — on half-hooks from the post, on putbacks around the rim, on floaters, on runners, on midrange turnarounds, on those defender-infuriating Sombor Shuffles — is unlike anything we’ve ever seen; it’s like each of his fingertips has its own brain, its own central nervous system, its own capacity to coax the rim into giving just enough to guide the ball to its intended destination.
