While missing games with the injury is crazy

He missed 16 games I think? Would be good for another ~8-9 TDs at this rate, which means he likely would have beaten Westbrook’s record of 42 in a single season.

ruggnuget | Nuggets

So I got curious and checked, and Westbrook got 42 triple doubles in 81 games that year. 51.85% of the games he played that year he got a TD. Jokic has 34 in 64 games played for 53.13%. He would have needed to play 79 games to get that at this pace, and I dont think he was going to play that many this year even without the injury. But he would have been within striking distance.

But its not the highest percentage. in 20-21 Westbrook got 38 TDs in just 65 games in Washington. 58.46% of games he played that year he had a triple double. Obviously he wasnt the most efficient scorer to his 22 points that season but over 11 rebounds and assists is pretty crazy.

For anyone else curious. Oscar did also get a season over 50%. He had 41 tds in 79 games for a 51.9% in 61-62.

what else do you say? stat padding? several of those games they played like absolute morons to get his last assist. so many times he would pass up on an open layip to dish it outside. so much worse than what they did with Bam.

straight up avoiding open layups to get an assist.

He was great the first half of the season, but hasn’t been putting them up since the Bulls nuked their roster.

I’m pretty sure he recently had like 7 triple doubles in an 8 game stretch or something.

Unfortunately people kinda normalised how historically good he is. A big man averaging a triple-double in consecutive seasons is just an insane feat.

He’s the best player in the league and there shouldn’t even be debatable.

Unable-Main4172

I mean Wemby’s the defensive player of the year and the last game where nephews said Jokic “dominated him” Wemby got 34, 17, 8, and 7 and the Spurs lost by 2 ponts. It’s not that ridiculous of an argument. Jokic has never even gotten a single vote for defensive player of the year btw

For real the Oklahoma education just keeps reintroducing itself. The Thunder have had the better team the last two years and I’m not sure why that’s so hard for those guys to get in their head. It’s like saying KD was better than LeBron in 2018 since the Warriors won the Finals. The better player isn’t always on the best team…

Akipella | Warriors

KD arguably wasn’t even the best player on his team in 2018, much less better than Bron

Talking like one player “beat” the other head to head has always been silly

Unless they very, VERY clearly outplay them.

Jokic on his bullshit mode. 0 defense lol. But he’s so good that it is still a 15 reboind triple double. He had Dendre Ayton levels of motor on defense this game.

He played shockingly good defense against the Spurs, so he is capable of doing it. Him choosing not to is just artistic choice.

Leads the league in rebounds… which is a defensive stat.

Hungry-Class9806 | Celtics

2 | 3 hours ago

People who say he doesn’t play defense simply don’t watch basketball. He isn’t the type of player that blocks a lot of shots but people don’t really pay attention to how much he does to prevent shots from happening with his positioning.

He’s averaging more than 10 rebounds/game and his off-the-ball defense is excellent.

Green_Row9105

14 point triple double against one of the worst teams in the league. Clear mvp! Not even close!

With Jokic’s 34th triple double tonight, he has as many as the 2nd-4th players combined
