Nikola Jokic is setting new records with his incredible performance this season.
Unbelievable Stats
Jokic has scored 297 points, grabbed 137 rebounds, and made 117 assists in just ten games. These numbers are unmatched in NBA history, even by legends like Oscar Robertson or Wilt Chamberlain. Jokic’s scoring average of 29.7 points per game surpasses Shaquille O’Neal’s best season, his rebounding beats Tim Duncan’s top year, and his assists outshine Chris Paul’s peak.

Comparison with the Greats
NBA analyst Jason Timpf believes that Jokic is the most dominant player since LeBron James in 2012-13. He even called Jokic the clearest MVP favorite he’s ever seen at this point in a season. Timpf highlighted how the Nuggets perform over 40 points better per 100 possessions when Jokic is playing compared to when he’s not.
Fans think it’s amazing how one player can make such a huge difference!
The analyst also praised Jokic for helping untested players find their roles on the team despite injuries and departures of key players like Aaron Gordon, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Reggie Jackson.

Jokicโs Team Spirit
Unlike many superstars who might complain about losing key teammates like Bruce Brown or Jeff Green, Jokic remains cheerful and lifts up whoever he plays with. Christian Braun has been thriving as a starter after taking over KCP’s role, while Peyton Watson is stepping up during Gordon’s absence.
Jokic seems capable of winning games even if surrounded by lesser-known playersโmuch like LeBron James did at his peak!
โThe ceiling heโs at right now is the highest Iโve seen since LeBron Jamesโ
.@_JasonLT canโt get enough of Nikola Jokic
