I'll take the bait.
Triple doubles used to be a lot rarer.

LeBron had a lot of his career play out when the triple double were less prevalent. It would be different if he came into the league today.
With that said, obviously Jokic is a great passer, one of the best. I still don't know who I would take, him or Heatles LeBron(if only talking playmaking). LeBron's laser passes to the corner after a drive was unstoppable. Will need another few years to look back to make a decision.
Hmm, I wonder who entered the league in 15-16??? Perhaps one doughy serbian king?
Not sure what your point is other than to circlejerk. Jokic had 0 triple doubles in his rookie season, 6 in his second season, 10 in his third, 12 in his fourth.
The inflation of triple doubles in the league is because the game changed, not because of Jokic.
