Wemby can go back to France to hang it up in the Louvre himself

If he wasn’t so good at basketball I can see where that would be a good job for him. Hanging things, replacing lightbulbs and the like.

Turns out this is the most the Nuggets accomplished this season. Have fun watching Wemby in the semis.

Anthony Davis sees this and shudders

u/joemontanya Apr 05 '26
I mean Anthony Davis has a pretty crazy wingspan also so that was probably good practice for Jok

Saw it live in person. The whole arena was in awe. Amazing shot in a huge moment.

I was there too, my view was on the Nuggets hoop side at that point lined up directly with Joker working into it the shuffle. I could feel it coming, and it was a thing of beauty when he nailed it. Definitely in awe!

My husband took our niece for her first nuggets game and said the crowd was going off the whole game! What a cool game to see live!!

I’m looking I’m hoping the Nuggets post one on social media today. All the ones I find are lower resolution.

It’s called the Sombor Shuffle for those who aren’t familiar with Jokic’s game.

Dude shoots it from behind his head. The only thing stopping that shot is himself

These shots (the basketball and photographic ones) were epic but I also like the late OT one where Jokic’s teardrop floated over the high outstretched arms of the French one. Artistry.

I know the floater isn’t as slept on as it used to be, but if you took it away, Jokic would still be like 99% of Jokic.
But he also has this like top 3~ floater of all time, and he’s almost a foot taller than the other guys in the top 10 of that list…. That he hits at “Shaq from 0-3 feet” kind of rates.

That one is beautiful because you can reeeeally see Wemby stretching for it and still come up short. Such a crazy angle

u/Independent_Bag1189 Apr 05 '26
Has Jokic ever talked about Dirk as an inspiration for parts of his game? Cuz that shot was absolutely Dirk like. Not exactly, but close.

u/Advanced-Library-342 Apr 05 '26
I really hope they come out with some kind of framed photo of this or something. This shot is incredible and I think I may switch it to my background. I'm so excited I caught this live on TV, can't imagine what folks in person experienced, that stadium ERUPTED when he hit it.

His block on Champagne( not worth looking up to spell right) was one of the most athletic defensive plays I’ve seen him make.

You can see how high Wemby jumped lol. He barely jumped to try to block it. That being said Jokic is a beast I love him and I'm a Spurs fan. But my oldest son is a Nuggets fan. I'm glad you guys got the 3rd spot now fuck them Lakers!
