Nikola Jokic Offers Amazing Assist to Kenneth Faried vs. Trail Blazers

Denver Nuggets forward Nikola Jokic submitted his nomination for assist of the year during Thursday's game between the Nuggets and Portland Trail Blazers at the Pepsi Center. 

Halfway through the first quarter, Kenneth Faried grabbed a defensive rebound and then broke down the opposite end of the court. Faried passed off to Jokic, who dribbled to the top of the key.

Jokic then cradled the ball in his right hand before distributing a bullet of a pass down low to Faried, who finished with a layup for a 23-15 lead.

That's one of the best passes Denver fans have seen all fall.
