Nikola Jokic Makes NBA History vs. Indiana Pacers
Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic turned in an incredible performance vs. the Indiana Pacers on Sunday afternoon, finishing with 25 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block on 92.3% from the field. Per Basketball Reference's StatHead, Jokic became the first player in NBA history to record this stat line or better on at least 90% from the field.
It's important to note that Wilt Chamberlain had three different games in his career with at least 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists on 90% or better shooting, but blocks and steals were not recorded at that time, so he does not appear on this list. It feels safe to say that Chamberlain likely had at least one game with two steals and a block to go along with the points, rebounds, assists, and field goal percentage, which would make it just him and Jokic who have posted such a line.
This is not the first time Jokic has posted a stat line that only himself and Chamberlain have ever achieved. In fact, Jokic also has several records that not even Wilt has, which shows just how dominant the Nuggets star has been since his rise to superstardom.
Denver is fortunate to have Jokic on their side, as the reigning Finals MVP continues to reach new heights on seemingly a nightly basis.
