Nikola Jokić, the Denver Nuggets' star player, is on a historic run. In a thrilling display of basketball prowess, Jokić achieved his fourth straight triple-double to start the season, tying a record held by only two other players in NBA history. This feat is even more remarkable considering Jokić's position in the all-time triple-double leaderboard. With 168 career triple-doubles, he trails only Oscar Robertson (181) and Russell Westbrook (203), both of whom are considered among the greatest players of all time.
On Wednesday night, Jokić dominated the court with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists, leading the Nuggets to a 122-88 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. His performance was so impressive that he sat out the fourth quarter, allowing the team to secure a comfortable 33-point lead in the third period. Jokić's efficiency was evident as he shot 10 out of 15 from the field, showcasing his ability to contribute consistently throughout the game.
The question now arises: can Jokić extend this record-breaking streak? The NBA has never witnessed a player opening a season with five consecutive triple-doubles, and Jokić has the opportunity to become the first. As the Nuggets prepare to face the Trail Blazers on Friday night, the basketball world eagerly anticipates whether Jokić will make history once again.
