We're witnessing history! Jokic two games away from an unprecedented achievement

Nikola Jokic continues to push the boundaries of statistical achievements in the NBA, with just two games separating him from a new milestone.

During the Denver Nuggets' current ten-game winning streak, the Serbian center has achieved a performance unprecedented in league history. Over this ten-game stretch, Nikola Jokic has amassed a total of 252 points, 145 rebounds, and 127 assists.

It's worth recalling that in the victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, the Serbian center accomplished something no one else has in the modern era of basketball, while the Nuggets finally celebrated a significant record.

The Joker needed only three quarters to record his 89th career triple-double. The sheer unreality of this statistic is best illustrated by comparing it to the rest of the league. Since the NBA officially began tracking minute-by-minute statistics (1997/98 season), Jokic has an astonishing 30 more triple-doubles than any other player in that period!

Furthermore, Clutchpoints reminds us that Nikola is on the verge of another record. He only needs to lead in rebounds and assists against Oklahoma and the Spurs in the final two games.

Nikola Jokic is on the cusp of achieving something the NBA has never witnessed before.

With just two regular-season games remaining, "The Joker" currently leads the league in both rebounds and assists per game.

To put that into perspective: no player in NBA history has ever led in both categories in the same season.

In fact, no one has even managed to do it across different seasons.

We are witnessing a level of individual dominance that defies conventional basketball logic.

Jokic impacts the game in every conceivable way.

He already has three MVP trophies in his cabinet, but the conversation about a fourth is becoming impossible to ignore.

If he wins it, he will join the most exclusive list in basketball history.

Players with 4 or more NBA MVP titles:

  • Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (6)

  • Michael Jordan (5)

  • Bill Russell (5)

  • Wilt Chamberlain (4)

  • LeBron James (4)

  • Nikola Jokic?

Is this the greatest individual season by a center we have ever seen?
