On Sunday evening, the Denver Nuggets are playing the Atlanta Hawks in Georgia.

At the end of the first half, Nikola Jokic made an incredible shot from nearly half-court.

Jokic finished the first two quarters with 25 points, nine rebounds, three assists and one steal while shooting 8/13 from the field and 2/2 from the three-point range in 19 minutes of playing time.

Via The NBA: "NIKOLA JOKIĆ FROM JUST INSIDE HALFCOURT.

25 AT HALFTIME AFTER 56 LAST NIGHT 🚨"

Many people reacted to the shot on social media.
