Jalen Johnson and some numbers never seen before in NBA history

Youth, athletic ability, vision of the game, power, and infinite talent. All these virtues are possessed by Jalen Johnson, a man who, at 23 years old, conveys the feeling of being a budding star in the NBA. Already last season, he showed his level, and only an injury slowed him down, but what he did this morning reaffirms his destiny.

There are NBA statistical lines that are remembered for a long time and mark a turning point in the competition. One of those is what Jalen Johnson achieved this past morning in the victory of the Atlanta Hawks over the Jazz. The Georgia franchise seemed doomed to obscurity after a shaky start and Trae Young's injury, but the team has rallied, finding an unexpected hero in a JJ who needed little time to regain his top form.

The serious injury suffered last season has definitively been left behind, as evidenced by the level of play shown by Jalen Johnson in recent games. The triple-double against the Jazz of 31 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists, 7 steals, and 4 three-pointers, is his career high in all these parameters and represents the first time such numbers of this magnitude have been recorded in NBA history. There are reasons for optimism in the Atlanta Hawks, who have found their true star.
