Nikola Jokic is doing his best to put his name next to NBA legends. The Serbian center has already led his Denver to the first playoff final in history. However, he has no plans to stop there.

The basketball player aims to become a champion and shows an amazing game in a series from Miami. Thus, he became the first player in the history of the National Basketball Association, who scored more than 30 points for 20 rebounds and 10 assists in the last game of the season.

This victory was conquered by the Serbian in the third game of the last series, the club from Colorado won 109:94. The Serb scored 32 points, had 21 rebounds and 10 assists, spending 43 minutes of playing time on the court.

Note that in the entire history of the NBA playoffs, only three basketball players followed the 30-20-10 line. Nikola Jokic himself did it three times. Wilt Chamberlain did the same in 1967 in the first round series with Cincinnati (37 points, 27 rebounds and 11 assists) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1970 in the first round series with Philadelphia (38 points, 23 rebounds).
