BREAKING: NBA Makes Major Nikola Jokic Announcement Before Playoffs
The 2024-25 NBA regular season will be remembered for numerous reasons.
From the Thunder’s record-setting run to Luka Dončić getting traded to LA, this season has been littered with storylines.
But, on Thursday, the NBA decided to highlight none other than Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic.
Jokić has done something no one in the history of the game has ever done: finish top three in scoring, rebounding, and assists in the same season.
Through 69 games, Jokić has been nothing short of sensational: 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.2 assists per night.
All of these are career highs and enough to slot him third in scoring, third in rebounding and second in assists league-wide.
Never has a single player occupied the top tier of all three major stat categories.
All year long, one of the biggest debates around the league was who was going to win the MVP, Nikola Jokić or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
SGA has powered his team to a league-best 68-14 record while averaging 32.7 points per game, the most in the NBA.
On the other side, you have Jokić, holding the Denver Nuggets together through roster shake-ups and coaching changes with his trademark blend of passing wizardry and low-post dominance.
Jokic also became the first center ever to average a triple-double over a full season, joining only Oscar Robertson and Russell Westbrook as players to average double-digits marks in three statistical categories.
Whether Jokić hoists his fourth MVP or not, he’s already made history.
