At this start of the race, Nikola Jokic has confirmed what many think after the previous two harvests. That he is the best player in the NBA, even above the current version of LeBron James.
Well, the Serbian center achieved a new record on Monday, at the expense of the winner of four MVPs in both the regular round and the league finals.
Indeed, “The Joker” added 35 points with 14 rebounds and 12 assists to lead his Denver Nuggets’ victory 134×116 over the New Orleans Pelicans. In this way, he reached 108 triple-doubles in NBA qualifying stages, surpassing the record of “King James” and former point guard Jason Kidd.
Now, Jokic is 20 behind the legendary Magic Johnson’s 138, although he is still far from Oscar Robertson’s 181 and the all-time leader in double-digit games in three different categories, Russell Westbrook’s 198.

Although Denver’s favoritism to endorse the crown in 2023-2024 faltered as a result of the reinforcements that came to the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors and the two Los Angeles teams, Lakers and Clippers, the reality is that Nikola Jokic has guided the Nuggets themselves to the best record of these first 15 days of action in the NBA, courtesy of 7-1. Something that LeBron James has not been able to do with those in yellow and purple.
