Nikola Jokic has done it again.
The 6-foot-11 Denver Nuggets superstar continues to make basketball history that the NBA has never seen before.
On Nov. 29, Jokic passed Wilt Chamberlain for the most games ever with 25 points/10 assists on 100% field goal shooting. On Dec. 1, the three-time MVP became the first player since 1996-97 to record 15+ points, 9+ rebounds, and 6+ assists in a quarter.
On Thursday, Jokic achieved another historic NBA feat.
“Nikola Jokic has the most games in NBA history with 30/10/5 on 80%+ field goal shooting,” Real Sports stated on X/Twitter after Jokic’s 36-point, 12-rebound, and eight-assist performance against the Sacramento Kings.
Jokic has started December with a bang. The former second-round pick is averaging 30.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 11.3 assists per game. Unsurprisingly, the Nuggets are 4-1 to begin the new month and have won three of their last five games by double digits.
Additionally, Jokic is undoubtedly improving his odds of securing his fourth MVP award, as his numbers stack up well against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luka Doncic.
Jokic’s diverse skill set makes it challenging for opponents not only to prepare for him on film but also to match up with him adequately on game day.
The 30-year-old NBA champion can locate cutters with either hand, dominate in the low post, direct traffic, and score on the perimeter with the best of them, explaining why he’s on a historic run during the early portion of the 2025-26 campaign.
