  1. Jokić is intentionally one point short of a triple double this season. Stat padder.

  2. freshigboprince

    9 assists instead of 10, again unacceptable.

  3. achyutthegoat

    Jokic deadass has a skill of being 1 assist away from a triple double

  4. ThingsAreAfoot

    The box score can’t express how frequently he embarrassed Vucevic. Just did whatever he wanted.

  5. No load management needed. Hes just a machine

  6. VexoftheVex

    8-12 on shots outside of when he went 1-4 on one possession

  7. iMaticz7

    1 assist away from the TD again. My goat is washed sadly 😭

  8. BruceBrownMVP

    I’ve never seen anyone as consistent on the offensive side of the ball as this guy.

    It’s getting fucking ridiculous…

  9. Scoot2028MVP

    3 of those misses were on 1 possession where he got the offensive rebound each time. Dude missed 3 shots in 3 seconds and was still 56% from the field.

  10. Ayjel89

    Two nights in a row he didn’t hit triple double. Dude is selling so hard right now smdh

  11. Regex00

    Are we sure this dude actually tries on offence? I swear he looks nonplussed the entire time he’s giving you a triple double.

  12. mmaguy123

    Man is already a top 3 mvp candidate for the 4th season in a row.

  13. HashCollector

    43rd game 1 counting stat shy of a triple double. Insane

  14. Beavshak

    Jokic aggressively ensuring 6 & 9 are well represented in his statline, that sly devil.

  15. confusedjuror

    Not a very good game, unfortunately

  16. FreshShades

    Jokic is forever 1 assist away from having a good game.

  17. Character_Group_5949

    I think the crazy thing about Jokic at this point, is he’s doing this stuff so frequently, it’s just easy to take it for granted.

    If you’d have told me 5 years ago a Nuggets player would have a 28/16/9 game, I would say that would be one of the best games of the season by any Nuggets player. Coming into this game, Jokic was averaging 27/12/8 This is normal. This isn’t one of the best games of the season by a Nuggets player. This is just a normal game. On the second night of a back to back and the 5th game in 7 days.

    What a time to be a Nuggets fan. This is the Golden Age.

  18. Betaateb

    He traded his TS% for rebounds with those 3 missed taps that he kept getting back lol

  19. pskill43

    This guy just has that amazing old man game. Feels like he’s not even trying that hard

  20. thestage

    this idiot is physically incapable of getting a triple double, what are we even doing giving him all these minutes

  21. LoWE11053211

    9/16…

    including 3 misses during like 5 sec span

  22. The-Pharcyde

    How dare he miss shots and not get 1 more assist smh what a scrub!

  23. FaceMaskYT

    It might be time to admit that he deserves his place in the NBA

  24. ThaNotoriousBLT

    lead both teams in points, rebounds, assists, and steals

  25. Paper_Okami

    There is literally no argument against him being the best in the world. Whenever he’s on the court, he’s the best player, no matter who else is on it. He has a good chance at being top 10 all time, which is absolutely insane to think of. His routine statlines would be a great game for anyone else. This is merely a good game for him. Gotta piss off literally every other team, because all our teams could all have drafted him.

  26. Is it too soon to say that current Jokic is the 3rd best player of the last decade after LeBron and Curry? I’m sorry but he is way more impactful than any single offensive player in the league at the moment.

  27. Ironhide94

    This dudes going to fuck around and get MVP again.

    He’s honestly otherworldly

  28. McNasti

    Yeah but its against the Bulls. Anybody could do that.

  29. AtreusIsBack

    I don’t want to hear any Giannis talk from those bobble heads on ESPN and First Things First.

  30. shazam482

    They only beat the bulls by 22 points? He’s washed, you hate to see it…

  31. MamiSoldier323

    The only player I’ve seen that I would respect being called GOAT over Jordan.

  32. BillowingPillows

    What is his ceiling as a player? Cause if he does this for the next lets say 5 years, hes going to put himself into the top 5 conversation. This is god tier level play

  33. maddogfarm

    Regular day in the office for nicola 28/16/9 on back to back game, dude is truly 1 of 1 #MVP
