The more Nikola Jokic plays basketball, the more he continues to prove himself as one of the truly all-time great players in the history of the NBA.<\/p>\n

The Denver Nuggets<\/a> center has certainly come a long way since his draft selection was announced during a Taco Bell commercial.<\/p>\n

His latest feat certainly ranks near the top of everything he has ever done, with this gem of a stat from OptaStats<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“There have been over 1.4 million total 10-game spans by players in NBA history, including playoffs. In none of them did a player have as many points, rebounds and assists as Nikola Joki\u0107 during the\u00a0N<\/a>uggets’\u00a0current 10-game winning streak (252 points, 145 rebounds, 127 assists).”<\/p>\n

It’s hard to fathom how impressive that statistic is, but put another way — the Nuggets are on a 10-game winning streak in which Jokic is averaging 25.2 points, 14.5 rebounds and 12.7 assists per game.<\/p>\n

The history of that statistical gem didn’t even involve a winning streak component. That just happens to be what Jokic and the Nuggets are up to, as well.<\/p>\n

To appreciate the brilliance of what Jokic is doing even more, this is how his last 10 games have gone, listed from least recent to most recent:<\/p>\n

22 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists<\/p>\n

22 points, 14 rebounds, 14 assists<\/p>\n

23 points, 17 rebounds, 17 assists<\/p>\n

23 points, 21 rebounds, 19 assists<\/p>\n

33 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists<\/p>\n

25 points, 15 rebounds 8 assists<\/p>\n

15 points, 17 rebounds, 12 assists<\/p>\n

40 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists<\/p>\n

35 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists<\/p>\n

14 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists<\/p>\n

Maybe the most amusing part of looking at Jokic’s game log is noticing that the game before this 10-game span started, he had 29 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists.<\/p>\n

He’s one of the most astounding players in the NBA in pretty much every way aside from earth-shattering athleticism.<\/p>\n

Maybe he can’t jump out of the gym, but Jokic doesn’t need to. He has more skill than pretty much anyone who has ever played this sport.<\/p>\n

It can be easy to take it for granted, almost because it seems so easy for Jokic to put up these crazy numbers.<\/p>\n

There’s never been someone like Jokic, though. Appreciate him while he’s here. He’s truly one of the all-time legends of the game of basketball.<\/p>\n
