The Serbian, who became MVP of the NBA playoff finals last season, managed to record a triple-double of 35 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists in the meeting with the Pelicans. This helped the 28-year-old surpass NBA legend LeBron James, now of the Los Angeles Lakers, for the most triple-doubles in the league. Jokic has 108 triple-doubles, which ranks fourth in NBA history, while James has 108.
Note that the triple-double record holder is Los Angeles Clippers leader Russell Westbrook (198). Second place goes to Oscar Robertson (181) and Magic Johnson (138) closes the top three.
This season, Nikola Jokic played eight games in the NBA, totaling 227 points, 103 rebounds and 67 assists.
