"Drank beer and flew" - NBA fans go wild over Nikola Jokic's self alley oop & dunk during Goran Dragic's farewell game

Three-time MVP Nikola Jokic participated in Slovenian legend Goran Dragic's farewell game this weekend. The event, Night of the Dragon, featured a star-studded lineup of past and present players. During the first quarter of the game, Jokic awed fans as he threw down an alley-oop off the glass.

The game occurred after a black-tie event on Friday night where team captains Goran Dragic and Luka Doncic drafted their teams. With his first pick, Dragic selected Steve Nash. Doncic responded by picking Nikola Jokic, a player NBA fans have clamored to see him compete alongside.

With sides chosen, players hit the court on Saturday for the highly anticipated game that aired on NBA.com. While Team Luka led 4-2 in the game's opening moments, Jokic wasted little time before driving to the hoop and throwing himself an alley-oop off the backboard.

The dunk caught the attention of NBA fans, who replied in the X comments section.
