The Atlanta Hawks may just have a new face of the franchise.
Trae Young remains out with an injury. Jalen Johnson is looking like one of the best basketball players on the planet.
On Sunday, the Hawks beat the 76ers, 120-117, and Johnson was the star of the show, as usual.
He finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.
Even with the scoring down, Johnson made NBA history.
Before this, only two players younger than 24 had put up a triple-double in four consecutive games.
Oscar Robertson had five separate streaks of that long. Magic Johnson also had one, according to the NBA's official social media.
Now, Johnson has done it, too.

He's now the third player in NBA history to record 4 consecutive triple-doubles before turning 24, joining:

That's absolutely crazy company.
Robertson practically invented the triple-double and averaged one for a whole season.
Magic Johnson is one of the top-10 players in basketball history.
And now Jalen Johnson is on the list.
The Hawks' young forward is proving that he deserves to have the show run through him. Lately, the Hawks have won in a big way when letting Johnson be the man.
