Jokić is in the top three of the NBA in points, rebounds and assists, a feat no one has previously accomplished for a full season. He’s pacing to become the second player since 1962 to average a triple-double for a full season. The Nuggets, with Monday night’s win, are in sole possession of second place in the West, and that’s important to contextualize because Denver is not as good as it was in 2023, when it was the best squad in the league by far and steamrolled to the NBA title. “This is my third or fourth year in a row, so I’m really — I don’t know. I cannot control it,” Jokić said. “Obviously, I think I’m playing the best basketball of my life. So if that’s enough, it’s enough. If not, the guy deserves it. He’s really amazing.”Source: New York Times
