Nikola Jokic posts FIRST 40 PTS, 25+ REB triple-double since Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor



Reigning MVP Nikola Jokic had himself a night posting a 40 PTS, 27 REB & 10 AST triple-double to go along with 2 STL as the Denver Nuggets beat the Charlotte Hornets, 119-115. Jokic now has the most rebounds in a triple-double since Shaquille O’Neal (28) against the Nets on Nov. 20, 1993.

  1. He had to put up 40/25/10 on +20 to barely beat the worst team in the NBA. Another year of Jokic's prime can't be wasted on a team that isn't good enough to compete for a championship, Denver need to make some changes whether that's players or staff this is ridiculous.

  2. Just something about that Denver altitude. What an incredible feat from this man 🤦🏾‍♂

  3. 3rd straight MVP coming. Nuggets are winning games and he leads NBA in PER, WinShare, BPM, VORP. No need to hype TATUM! He's not even in the TOP 5 best player per advanced stats. He will have his time but not this year. Luka, Giannis, Durant and Curry are far more valuables. Even AD is better than him.

  4. Boring asf to watch. dunno why I thought this crazy stat line meant anything. Jokic will be Jokic and play like a wooden plank

  5. I love Embiid on my Sixers but Jokic I'm also a huge fan of. So underrated the PER does not lie. This generation of basketball is unbelievable.

  6. Seen an MVP poll on here recently having Jokic at 3%. It's astounding how underrated he still is

  7. 30 years of being an NBA fan. I've never seen a center have a game like this. WIlt would be proud.

  8. The closest game to Larry Bird that we have today? Why? 1. Extremely imaginative 2. Plays at his own pace. 3. High IQ 4. Does it all without having to be athletic. Just deceptive and relaxed every step of the way and multiple steps ahead of his competitors. 5. Does not have to dominate the ball to do it, like some bums we know.
