Unleashed, Niko Jokic joins Wilt Chamberlain and Magic Johnson in the story!
Huge against the Pelicans, Nikola Jokic has entered a little more in the history of the league. His performance allowed him to match a brand signed Wilt Chamberlain! He also took the opportunity to join an ultra-VIP club, where we find The Stilt and Magic Johnson.
It was not planned against New Orleans, yet abysmal this year, but Nikola Jokic had to work hard to ensure the victory of his people. In the end, the Serbian interior still managed to win the Nuggets after extra time (120-114). History of rewarding his efforts, the reigning MVP has also allowed himself a new madness: he has quite simply integrated extremely closed circles in NBA history!

A huge performance from the Joker, establishing itself a bit more as one of the most versatile interiors ever seen in the Big League. The icing on the cake, Denver is now back to balance (12-12), and is now tied with Dallas, seventh in the West. These kinds of games can boost the morale of the troops, and Mike Malone’s men could put that back by going to win in San Antonio, which they will play twice in a row.
New historic match for Nikola Jokic, who continues to sign stats that we had not seen for decades. At this rate, he’s gone to become the most all-around offensive pivot in history!
