Asked where his behind-the-back dime to Cam Johnson ranks, Nikola Jokić did not hedge: 'I think that's my personal favorite.'

In the Oct. 4 preseason opener vs. Utah, Jokić backed Lauri Markkanen into the corner and whipped a behind-the-back pass past three defenders to Johnson for an open three.

Johnson's reaction as the recipient: 'I didn't have to move my hands.' Utah still won the exhibition 109-97.

Jokić entered the week with 6,080 career assists, No. 41 all-time. He had seven assists in 15 minutes that night.

Denver's offense still runs through Jokić's vision, and Johnson is the new spacer on the end of those passes.
