Almost two weeks ago, against Oklahoma City, Nikola Jokic tied Wilt Chamberlain after recording his 78th career triple-double. It was therefore only a matter of days before seeing the Denver pivot overtake him.
It’s done, again against the Thunder. With 15 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists, the reigning double MVP now has 79 triple-doubles on the clock. He therefore takes 6th place alone in this ranking, still dominated by Russell Westbrook.
By relegating the 100-point man to seventh place, Nikola Jokic becomes the most prolific triple-double pivot in NBA history. As a souvenir of this historic evening, his teammates all signed the match ball.
” It’s pleasant “reacted Nikola Jokic, still not very talkative, for the Denver Post. “It’s not just my success, because I can’t do anything without my teammates. So when I find this ball in a cupboard one day, I can remember the ones I’ve played with. »
