being 0.8 assists more than second and a full rebound ahead of second is even crazier. And of course the TS% is always insane considering he isn’t a pure back to the basket big.

I’ve been a Nuggets fan since before Jokic was drafted and he still doesn’t make sense.

Once Jokic gets his shooting foul from beyond halfcourt (his white whale, to date), maybe he can have a no look and-1 be his next goal

Back to the basket bigs don’t really have amazing TS% anymore. It’s the rim running bigs that do.

It’s an absolute joy to watch him. When he’s not playing my team. I think 28 other teams would agree.

C’mon guys I know I’m drunk but imagine making a post about a beautiful butterfly you saw, describing all it’s beauty and hoping to show everyone how beautiful that butterfly was, professing how butterflies are great.

And then clicking on your own post and commenting “Man butterflies are great” as an unprovoked comment to yourself

You aren’t making that comment for normal reasons. You’ve lost your mind.

I think Denver hanging on to the 3 seed will give him a better shot at keeping his top 2 MVP streak alive

Only one seed behind Wemby and the Spurs plus that game in Denver left a lot of impressions

If Trae and Hali play to the levels they played before their injuries it will be more difficult, they were at the top in the last seasons.

Same thing with Sabonis on the rebound part.

Well, yes, that’s why I said if Hali and Trae, who finished top 3 in the last 2 seasons, play it’s more difficult to repeat for Jokic, they’re his 2 main adversaries in this category.

And it’s the first time he has either. So it’s entirely possible he can’t get either one again, never mind both in the same season. This is a REALLY special accomplishment that we may never see again in our lifetime.

Really hard to lead in scoring and assisting since you’re taking away from one to get the other.

Nate Archibald did it in ‘73, so it’s certainly possible, and Jokic generates enough offense that I think he can do it too if it was his primary goal.

With how crazy offenses are these days I dunno that a player in this era could do it. You’d have to be even more ball dominant than Luka is currently which is a lot.

Insane that this season was better than any of his MVP years but Shai is likely going to edge him out for MVP, and deservedly so

Nikola Jokic has become the first player in NBA history to lead the league in Rebounds per Game and Assists per Game
