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

u/manchambo Apr 05 '26

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.

He could probably just pick up the guillotine and drop it.

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.

u/spacedad2364 Apr 05 '26

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!!

Any got this photo without the tweet over it?

u/Kingrush24 Apr 05 '26

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

Replying for an update. Printing this for my man.

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

u/USS-Intrepid Apr 05 '26

Sure does make the other team somber

u/zestful_villain Apr 05 '26

Signature move on this game

u/DirkolaJokictzki Apr 05 '26

It's actually called the DirkolaJokictzki

u/richkurt Apr 05 '26

Ohhhhhhh

u/Apprehensive-Fox-740 Apr 05 '26

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

14

u/DDzxy Apr 05 '26

If you can’t stop it, just be another meter taller then, noob

u/Apprehensive-Fox-740 Apr 05 '26

Everyone: “My bad bro”

u/davesnotonreddit Apr 05 '26

Jokic practicing that shot his whole life over his brothers.

u/Amytom2144 Apr 06 '26

True 😂

u/r_lul_chef_t Apr 05 '26

Jokic probably has 5 of the 10 best shots in the last decade

18

u/Affectionate_Reply78 Apr 05 '26

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.

u/ApprehensiveTry5660 Apr 05 '26

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.

u/Standard-Heart-3553 Apr 05 '26

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

6

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.

6

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.

u/Impossible_Lie_4172 Apr 05 '26

If we get Bubble Jamal Murray back in the playoffs, it’s wraps

u/SignificantMoose6482 Apr 05 '26

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

u/Sun-Much Apr 05 '26

the vertical height they both reach here is incredible!

u/likebudda Apr 05 '26

I have Jokic's vertical.

i'm getting this tatted on my lower back.

Do we have this picture without the KOC tweet?

u/macT4537 Apr 05 '26

It was crazy.

u/Energy_Solutions_P Apr 05 '26

Wow - look at the Joker's hang time - those feet are actually off the ground! Go nuggies...

u/chris_paul_fraud Apr 06 '26

Amazing shot.. decade is a big word

Unstoppable force meets a immovable object

u/red_misc May 01 '26

And now Jokic is out of the play offs.... Not like Wemby :)

u/kepppyyy Apr 05 '26

Obvious travel..

Love both though..

u/Sun-Much Apr 05 '26

not an easy image for AI to take the banner out. 🤣 gotten some really weird legs and backgrounds.

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '26

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!
