The Denver Nuggets<\/a> have flown under the radar to start the 2025-26 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> winning 23 of their first 24 regular-season games and poised to repeat as NBA champions, the Nuggets have been far from the main topic of discussion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, with the Nuggets\u2019 115-106 victory over the Charlotte Hornets<\/a> on Sunday, the franchise is tied for second place in the Western Conference (17-6 record) and should be regarded as an early-season contender.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not only are the Nuggets playing up to their potential thus far, but they\u2019re also making NBA history<\/a> (involving their star center Nikola Jokic) that’s never been done before in the NBA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe <\/a>Nuggets have had three different players with a 50-point game on 75% shooting this season (Aaron Gordon, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray),\u201d OptaStats revealed on X\/Twitter after Murray’s 52-point barrage against the Indiana Pacers<\/a> last Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo other team in NBA history has had more than one player do that in a season.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Jokic doing a little bit of everything for the Nuggets and routinely making superhuman contributions, it\u2019s safe to predict the three-time MVP will be a part of another historic feat at some point this season.<\/p>\n

Without Jokic, it\u2019s challenging to envision the Nuggets capturing a championship in 2023 or being among the premier Western Conference squads year in and year out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Simply put, this is only the beginning for Jokic, who\u2019s already made history several times this season.<\/p>\n
