Jrue Holiday has missed out on like 3 by an assist or rebound or two. Kinda crazy how he’s fit like a glove, despite having a pretty horrid shooting start.
NBA - Main
Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
He has been the MVP for the last 3 consecutive seasons.
Jokic's ambivalence towards stats is so strong that it's spread throughout the league. He's normalized his own ridiculous performances to the point that no one really cares when he plays great.
Tall overweight Russ
Russ averaging a triple double for a season is/was insane.
Quietly hoping Jokic matched it this season, though Jokic needs more 15+ assists games to make up the distance as it is.
That’s all he has? Seems low
Spamming assists and rebounds... yuck
That's actually fcking crazy you can only laugh.
im so greedy as a fan, the wins at home are almost a lock, i really just go to the game rooting for a triple double every time. when he gets stuck on a sombor double i get so frustrated.
Dom Jokic edging us all smh
This is with a decent chunk of the games without Murray. Now that he won't have to score as much, I bet he covers the whole league by the years end
Jokic 7
Doncic 2
Scottie 1
Bam 1
Lamelo 1
Embiid 1
Lebron 1
Sabonis 1
Im surprised Sengun still doesnt have one
Kid is on a great trajectory. I can see him becoming even better in near future, and he is for sure going to rack them up.
Would’ve thought Luka had more, probably has heaps of 9 assist/rebound games
Kyrie takes the load off so he doesn't have to hardy carry as much. Lots of 7 and 8 rebound assist games
Jordan
Kobe/Duncan
Lebron/Steph
Jokic^Giannis
Wemby/Chet?
What am I looking at here?
Only 7?
Clearly a scrub.
+4 sombor doubles (double double with 9 assists)
So are triple doubles no longer cool? Seems like guys wanted to chase them over winning for a few years and now it looks like it’s gone out of style.
They're cool when they come naturally in the flow of the game due to effortless dominance.
bUt TriplE DOUBles ARE everyWhere NOw
And how many Sombor doubles does he have? It's gotta be at least 2 or 3 right
Heard he made some rad passes this game. Hope to see a compilation on YouTube or something for this one.
Yeah, but has Jokic ever shot 27 FTs in a game? Didn't think so.
Can you honestly call yourself an MVP if you've never shot 27 free throws in a game? Yeah, I didn't think so
The funniest part of this reply is you didn't even need to name names, everyone already know who you're talking about lmao
stat padding is easy for jokic
I believe that’s just called playing ball for Jokic.
Embiid got his sixth yesterday, what’s the big deal?
So now we are valuing triple doubles again? I thought Harden and Westbrook made them worthless.
They have value when accompanied with Ws.
3 of Jokic’s this season resulted in L’s, were those not valuable?
Ppl say TD's arent impressive anymore but currently its mostly just one guy 2X MVP getting them on regular
Historically when someone gets a TD their team has ~75% win percentage. Even when they tried to say Russ was stat padding he was winning cast majority of his games he has a TD.
after watching the basketball god for these last 4 years nothing seems impressive - dude has fucking wrecked my perception of what good ball should look like. watching teams that dont have Jokic is fucking boring.
Nikola Jokic since 2021 season has a PER of 32.0.
Here’s how it stacks up with other all time greats best 4 year PER.
- 31.4 - Michael Jordan (1988-91)
- 31.1 - Wilt Chamberlain (1962-65)
- 30.3 - Shaquille O’Neal (1999-02)
- 30.2 - LeBron James (2009-12)
- 28.7 - Kevin Durant (2013-16)
- 28.1 - Steph Curry (2015-18)
- 27.9 - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1971-74)
- 27.0 - Tim Duncan (2002-05)
- 26.6 - Larry Bird (1985-88)
- 26.0 - Magic Johnson (1987-90)
- 26.0 - Hakeem Olajuwon (1993-96)
- 25.7 - Kobe Bryant (2006-09)
- 21.1 - Bill Russell (1957-60)
I feel an urge to remind people that triple doubles are not immediately good basketball if you're inefficient shooting or turn the ball over a lot.
Fortunately Jokic has neither of those problems, especially not today.
