Denver Nuggets’ superstar, Nikola Jokic, has reached a significant milestone in his NBA career.
In the recent game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Jokic collected his 108th career triple-double, surpassing the likes of LeBron James and Jason Kidd to secure the fourth-most triple-doubles in NBA history.
It is worth noting that Jokic achieved this feat in an impressive 813 fewer games than LeBron James.
Jokic’s outstanding performance in the game against the Pelicans further solidified his status as one of the league’s premier players.
He finished the match with an impressive stat line, contributing 35 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 2 turnovers.
With this latest triple-double, Jokic now finds himself trailing only three legendary players in NBA history:
Russell Westbrook (198 triple-doubles), Oscar Robertson (181), and Magic Johnson (138).
The Serbian star has firmly established himself amongst these basketball greats.
In his eight appearances so far, he has been averaging an impressive 28.4 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game.
These statistics underscore his invaluable contributions to the Denver Nuggets’ success.
