During the Denver Nuggets' current ten-game winning streak, the Serbian center has achieved a feat unprecedented in the league's history. Over this ten-game span, Nikola Jokić has tallied a total of 252 points, 145 rebounds, and 127 assists.
According to official data covering both the regular season and playoffs, there have been over 1.4 million different ten-game intervals recorded in the NBA. Until the Nuggets center's recent run, no player in league history had ever managed to reach these numbers across all three key statistical categories simultaneously.
This statistic further underscores Jokić's impact on the Nuggets' performance, as their winning streak has solidified their position in the standings, while the Denver center has set a new standard for versatility in professional basketball.
Bolstering the Record Books
In the victory against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Serbian center accomplished something no one else has in the modern era of basketball, while the Nuggets finally secured a long-awaited franchise record.
It took the "Joker" just three quarters to record his 89th career triple-double. The magnitude of this achievement is best illustrated by comparing it to the rest of the league. Since the NBA officially began tracking play-by-play stats (1997/98 season), Jokić has 30 more triple-doubles than any other player in that period.
This also marks the first time since 2013 that Denver has strung together ten consecutive wins. The significance of this long-awaited success is highlighted by the fact that, in the interim, 20 other NBA franchises had managed to achieve a double-digit winning streak while the Nuggets struggled to break this "curse."
