Kareem, Dr. J, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James. We just mentioned the players who have dominated the last 50 years of the NBA.
Championships, MVPs in the regular season, and the Finals. Yet tonight Nikola Jokic, the 2 time MVP seeking his first NBA title became the first NBA player in history to record a 30-20-10 triple-double in a finals game.
With 32 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists he set a new standard for excellence in a finals game.
Right up there with Jordan’s 55 and Magic’s 42 and 15 as a rookie in 1980. Truly amazing Jokic!
The “Joker” is not to be played with!
