Nikola Jokic may not be this year's MVP, but he rewrote the record books this season.
The Nuggets star became not just the 3rd player ever to average a triple-double, but the first non-point guard to average a triple-double, which is amazing in itself.
But that wasn't the Joker's greatest achievement in 2025.
He also became just the 1st player in history to rank in the top 3 in points, rebounds, assists, and steals in the same season (min. 50 games played):
🔥 29.6 PPG (3rd)
🔥 12.7 RPG (3rd)
🔥 10.2 APG (2nd)
🔥 1.8 SPG (2nd)
Even more amazing?
Not only is Joker the 1st to finish top 3 in all 4 categories, but only one player finished in the Top TEN in points, rebounds, and assists. And that was 63 years ago.
1961-62 Oscar Robertson came the closest to Jokic. Not even Russell Westbrook in 4 seasons averaging triple-doubles ever hit the top 10 in all.
'61-62 Oscar Robertson:
🔸30.8 PPG (5th)
🔸12.5 (10th)
🔸11.4 (1st)
So Jokic being top 3 in FOUR stat categories is literally unheard of.
If his name wasn't already up there with the all-time greats, there's certainly no denying him now.
