This season, Nikola Jokic surpassed Chamberlain with 703 assists and became the single-season assist leader in NBA history.
Jokic averaged 26.5 points, 12.3 rebounds, 9 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks in 34.7 minutes per game this season, shooting 58.2% from the field and 35.9% from three-point range. He has 25 triple-doubles this season, and he is also the third time in his career that he has completed at least 25+ triple-doubles in a single season.
Nuggets reporter Nick Lutke wrote: "I think Jokic is already a top-five center in history, he's 29 years old and doesn't have an All-Star teammate around him. ”
Nuggets' final game against the Grizzlies: Jokic, Murray, Porter, Pope, Gordon, Reggie, and Nagy are all doubtful, and there is a high probability that Jokic will not play, because Malone wants to lose to lock up the third place in the West, and they hope to play the Pelicans in the first round to reduce consumption, so Jokic's data will also be frozen.
Nick Wright said bluntly on the show: 'I think Jokic is the MVP of the season, he is better than Moses Malone, he deserves the third MVP of his career, and he will be a strong contender for the regular season MVP for years to come. ’
The authoritative American media The Ringer directly selected Jokic as the league's No. 1 superstar, he is second in the league in offensive efficiency, 83 in the league in defensive efficiency, fifth in the league in net efficiency, sixth in the league in assist percentage, and second in the league in game contribution value.
And Jokic is a very low-key superstar, and when reporters compared him to Duncan, he said: "Don't don't, I'm still far from Duncan, don't compare you like that." ”
