Nikola Jokic has once again shattered NBA records, becoming the first player to post an unprecedented stat line of 37 points, 18 rebounds, and 15 assists in a single game. This jaw-dropping performance led the Denver Nuggets to a nail-biting 122-120 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, marking Jokic’s fourth career game with a 30/15/15 stat line, and his fourth consecutive triple-double.
The reigning MVP is now only behind Oscar Robertson for the most 30/15/15 games in history and has amassed more such games than any active player. Known for his incredible court vision and versatility, Jokic has upped his defensive impact this season, even jokingly calling himself the “cookie monster” due to his knack for grabbing steals.
With averages of 29.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 11.7 assists through the first 10 games, Jokic is setting himself up to possibly become the first player to lead the league in both rebounds and assists. This impressive start has helped propel Denver to a strong 7-3 record, fueling renewed championship hopes after last season’s playoff exit.
As the Nuggets begin a three-game road trip, Jokic’s spectacular play is positioning Denver as a serious contender once again.
