Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic ranks 4th all-time in triple doubles Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic passes LeBron James and Jason Kidd to rank 4th all-time in doubles three times, notching the 108th of his career on Monday night.
Speaking about the post-game performance, Jokic initially only mentioned Kidd, as he said James is still playing and will likely get more.
“He’s still playing, I think he’ll get a few more points,” Jokic said of passing James on the all-time triple-double list.
Pelicans Not wanting to talk too much about the passing ability of an active player, Jokic admitted that James will probably have another triple-double by the end of his career.
That said, it’s certainly reasonable to assume that Jokic will quickly create separation between himself and James on this list, considering the Nuggets star reached his double-double total so quickly any.
It was an entertaining post-game media session for Jokic, who toyed with reporters by answering questions he knew they would ask before they actually asked.
One of them, of course, is the issue of James and Kidd surpassing a career double-double, something Jokic has largely downplayed, especially when it comes to James.
Never too concerned with his personal achievements, Jokic just wants to continue winning games, something the Nuggets have done at an elite level to start the season.
Looking to defend their title, Denver is in very good form so far.
