Triple-double in career: Nikola Jokic equals Wilt Chamberlain!

The season only started on Tuesday evening Nikola Jokic has already started on a large basis in terms of statistics. The reigning double MVP has already recorded two triple-doubles in a row, in two days, against the Warriors and then against the Thunder.

The pivot of Denver has indeed compiled 19 points, 16 rebounds and 13 assists in the victory of his team against Oklahoma City players. It’s another triple-double, but this one is important since it’s his 78th in his career.

The Serb thus joins the sixth place in the ranking, tied with a myth: Wilt Chamberlain. “I never thought or dreamed of having my name next to his,” commented the player after the game. “It’s always nice to be compared to players who are among the best in history. It’s nice. »

The All-Star will have taken only 530 regular season appearances to join the man who scored 100 points in a game 60 years ago. If he keeps his pace from the last few years, Jokic should break the 100 triple-double mark by the end of next season. And he’s only 27…
