Best brand in the NBA: 31, 21, 22: Jokic writes basketball story

The Serbian basketball star Nikola Jokic has performed a historical performance in the North American professional league NBA. With 31 points, 21 rebounds and 22 assists, the Denver Nuggets center created a triple double that no other professional in NBA history has succeeded in front of him. Thanks to Jokic, the nuggets won with 149: 141 after extra time against the Phoenix Sun.

Before the 30-year-old, no other professional had a triple double with at least 30 points, 20 rebounds and 20 assists in the world’s best basketball league in the world. Jokic also gave most of the templates for a triple double with at least 30 points. “I think about these numbers when I finished my career,” said Jokic in his usual casual art.

Coach Michael Malone praised his leader. “The guy is simply an incredible player. If you are the only one with such a performance in this league, it says a lot. There are many good players in this league, but in my opinion Nikola is simply a class of their own,” said Malone.

For Jokic, after 2021, 2022 and 2024, the fourth award is the most valuable player of the regular season. He would do the same with basketball sizes LeBron James and Wilt Chamberlain. Jokic competes with the Canadian Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from the Oklahoma City Thunder.

While all personal statistics actually speak for the Serbian center, Gilgeous-Alexander has the team success on his side. The Thunder only collected eleven defeats, Denver 22.
