Nikola Jokic has 7 triple doubles for the season. The rest of the NBA has 8. (alien.top)

What a consistently amazing season from Jokic. Genuinely a pleasure to watch him play and what a game from him tonight. 15 assists with no turnovers? Crazy.

If jokic were truly a stat padder and tried to turn those sombor doubles to TDs he would become the league leader before he retired. But he's not a stat padder, just a wins padder unfortunately

he's only 88 TDs behind the all-time leader (Westbrook) right now, which is about 3 seasons worth at his current pace. He'll probably become the all-time leader well before he retires.

He's 14 playoff TDs behind Magic for #1, which ... last season he had 10, but I don't think we can count on that pace. Still, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jokic also takes the all-time lead on that stat in about 3 years. (LeBron is only 2 behind Magic and could plausibly take the lead this postseason, but I don't expect him to put together so many that Jokic would have a hard time catching him.)
