Nikola Jokic’s epic 3-game stretch never ended
The Denver Nuggets they are playing good basketball again, and yet they are led by Nikola Jokić and his strong performances. Jokic seems to be getting better every year, which is ridiculous, but it might be true. Every week he seems to do something new and put himself in the history books, and his latest achievement is crazy
Over his last three games, he is the first player ever to record 110+ PTS, 40+ REB and 40+ AST in a three-game span, according to ESPN Insights.
Jokić finished the game against the Dallas Mavericks with 29 points, seven rebounds and 14 assists. In their next game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he finished with 56 points, 16 rebounds and 15 assists. Finally, to cap off the week, he finished with 34 points, 21 rebounds and 12 assists against the Orlando Magic.
These sound like video game numbers that Jokic puts up, and it’s something he does all the time.
MVP awards are not awarded 40 games into the season, but there are already people saying he’s in the driver’s seat right now to win the award, one that includes Zach Lowe.
“Jokic has a big advantage in almost everything,” Lowe said. “You can find a few here and there, like dunks and threes, plus-minus adjusted, Shai is still a little bit ahead, but this is a different landscape than last year, where we all understand who the best player is, and all the other arguments, now it’s only one day after Christmas, a lot of things could happen. But Jokic took back the throne.”
In previous years, Jokić was in talks for MVP, as he should be, and he already has three under his belt. It shouldn’t surprise anyone if he gets more, because this guy does something groundbreaking almost every night.
