Witnessing Nikola Jokic stack up triple-doubles in his career is slowly becoming a tradition now in the NBA, as he recently recorded his 139th in a 126-114 loss to the Cavaliers this past Thursday night. The star big man has now moved to third place in the all-time historic list.
His climbing of this prestigious ladder means that he’s now moved passed none other than Magic Johnson, one of the greatest players who ever graced the basketball court. The European giant ended last night’s game with 27 points, 20 rebounds and 11 assists.
Even though Jokic could’ve scored even more points that night, missing some easy shots, the Nuggets were no match for an inspired Cleveland squad who made a season-high 22 three-pointers and now hold a 20-3 record in the Eastern Conference.
