Nikola Jokic Is Breaking Basketball

Nikola Jokic became the first player in NBA history to record 30, 20, and 20 in a brilliant display of his unrivaled offensive versatility.

Jokic is so dominant I thought he already dropped a stat like this before 😭

[Unknown_Hoops]

Jokic is the smartest player OAT. He's on his own level right now

[Tariq-ph]

When teams don’t just pack the paint like the 50s and leave Ag russ and Braun like they’ve never shot a basketball this is what jokic does

[remybeatz]

They been triple teaming the man and he figured out a way to counter. He’s unstoppable 😭

[style]

Jokic is without doubt the greatest offensive player ever. He can do everything. He can score at every level and do it efficiently. He has a shot just like bird that goes over his head and is basically impossible to block. He's a great shooter. He's shooting 58% FG, 82% from the Freethrow line and 44% from 3. If he can improve his Freethrow shooters to get to 90% he can definitely have the first ever 60/90/40 season ever. His low post/ footwork is insane. His touch is like no other center or powerfoward that I've ever seen. He's currently shooting 44% from 3. Now to his passing. He literally runs the nuggets offense. His passing is top 3 all time. His assist to turnover ratio is on par with the best point guards ever. He also uses him being doubled to then pass and get his teammates open. Thats the difference between him and every other player in nba history. He can destroy your defense by being by the Freethrow line passing as he does. Or he can go into the paint and pick apart defenses that way like a traditional center. The only passers on his level that has a post up game was magic, bird. But they couldn't post up and destroy teams like jokic in the paint. Hopefully the nuggets play their cards right and get some great shooters around him. Jokic only needs 1 star level player and a lot of great shooters and he will win 4-5 rings.

Joker is in a league of his own.If he got the whistle as often as he should, he would be over 30ppg.Then his stats would be even more elusive for anyone to catch in the future...

It isn't every season someone can average a triple double. SGA has only had two his whole NBA career, it has been 3 years since the last time he had one. In fact, he has only had 35 double dubs in his ENTIRE career. Joker has had more of those this year alone.

I will throw some season stats out there for the two guys...

Double dubs JKR 49 SGA 5
trip dubs JKR 29 SGA 0

FG% JKR 57.7 SGA 52.6
FG/attempts JKR 19.1 SGA 21.4
3pt% JKR 43.9 SGA 37.8
3pt/attempts JKR 4.4 SGA 5.7

Rebound/gm JKR 12.9 SGA 5.1
Ast/gm JKR 10.6 SGA 6.2
steals/gm JKR 1.8 SGA 1.8
Rebound% JKR 17.7 SGA 7.0

OffRating JKR 125.9 SGA 122.1
DefRating JKR 114.4 SGA 104.5
TrueShooting JKR 66.4% SGA 64.5%


Really aside from points SGA doesn't have better numbers... and you know that they already have a trophy for the scoring leader. MVP is not just about points. Joker is having one of the best offensive seasons in NBA history.

Crazy how this man can beat every coverage cause of his unlimited skillet and IQ

[xAbhishekx]

You’re so underrated bro - keep up the good work and analysis. You’re right up there with thinking basketball as my favorite NBA channels

[JulianaStevenson-ohqe]

This vid is pure gold, keep dropping these bangers.

It's amazing how many highlights there are in this video and then I remember that this was all in THE SAME GAME. Shai is having an incredible season but Jokic is having an all-time great season. The counting stats, the advanced stats, the historic performances, this is insane what he's doing on a nightly basis and making it look normal. He's the MVP there's absolutely no reason he shouldn't be hoisting up his 4th (should've been 5th) MVP. I refuse to take this first ballot future HOF all-time great for granted like so many are.

Really can't understate how much I appreciate your videos man. You, Thinking Basketball, Daniel Li, and afunkydiabetic are gems of the NBA community especially here on YT 🙏🏾

[ZoeAdams-ii]

Your videos are the best, don't stop.

[Stevemcnash]

Should do a video on how many career nights the Suns defense has given up. Jokic's 30/20/20, Zion's first triple double, Zubac I think tied his career high, Yves Missi got a career high

[gregchun-uj]

Nice to see how you're becoming less of a faceless youtuber

[calebburt]

Jokic feels like a singer with perfect pitch. Like it comes too easily for him

[Aaron-oozt]

Jokic can really do everything offensively outside of being a lob threat

[michaelbietsch]

I cant find the numbers for the quickest triple doubles recorded, but according to stat mamba, last night, Jokic recorded the 9th fastest triple double in nba history with 20:38 (he also has the fastest of all time, and recorded the 7th fastest earlier this season). He then recorded a SECOND triple double in 22:59 (don't know where this one would rank, but thats just crazy)

[ivandjordjevic]

Great analysis 👍, now people can understand how big is Nikola really

[jcoop]

Jokic is in his prime. Ladies and gentlemen, we are all experiencing prime Joker
