Nikola Jokic Makes History in Game 4 vs. Lakers

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic has broken Wilt Chamberlain's record

With his 8th triple-double this postseason, Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic passed Wilt Chamberlain for the most ever in a single playoff run. Jokic broke this record in Game 4 vs. the Los Angeles Lakers, turning in yet another dominant showing in route to his record-breaking stat line.

While this is impressive, Jokic is always more concerned with his team's success than his own individual play. The superstar big man is only focused on winning a championship at this point in his career; however, his individual dominance is a big reason why the Nuggets are in position to compete for one this season.

What is especially impressive by this triple-double record for Jokic, is that it's not position specific like some of the other records he and Wilt have. While those are incredibly impressive as well, this latest record is not limited to centers, as Jokic has more triple-doubles in this playoff run than any other player in NBA history.

Continuing to make history throughout the course of this playoff run, Jokic is silencing any negative noise about his ability to thrive in a playoff setting. Amidst a historic run, Jokic continues to break records on a nightly basis. Passing Wilt Chamberlain in any category is a major achievement, and that is especially true with this latest record.
