Jokic and the option to get motivated by a new individual record

Great geniuses thrive on monumental challenges, on the possibility of achieving feats unimaginable to other mortals, and Nikola Jokic seems increasingly close to some of them. His performance in every game is impressive, and what he did in the victory of Denver Nuggets against the Thunder makes one think that he may achieve something remarkable very soon.

One of the best news for Denver Nuggets is the good understanding that Nikola Jokic is demonstrating with Russell Westbrook. The injuries to Gordon and Murray, combined with the shortness of the roster, require players capable of supporting the Serbian in scoring and facilitating his tasks on both ends of the court. Jokic's statistical challenge is closely related to Russ, as he is one of the two men who conquered it in NBA history.

We are talking about the possibility of Nikola Jokic achieving a game with 20 points or more, 20 assists or more, and 20 rebounds or more. It was done by Wilt Chamberlain in 1968, in a very different and incomparable context to the present, but Russell Westbrook made history by achieving it in 2019. Five years later, a teammate of his seems to have everything necessary to accomplish it. Against the Thunder, he was only four assists away from achieving it, so we must pay close attention to see if he accomplishes it soon.
