Nikola Jokic Makes Wild NBA History vs. Detroit Pistons

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic was unprecedented vs. the Pistons

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic put up one of the most unique stat lines ever in Sunday night's win over the Detroit Pistons. Finishing the game with 4 points, 7 rebounds, 16 assists, and 5 blocks in just 24:37 minutes of play, Jokic was historic in many ways. 

Just looking at the 16 assists and 5 blocks, Jokic became the first player in NBA history to achieve this is less than 30 minutes of play. In fact, the only other player in NBA history to ever have at least 16 assists and 5 blocks in a game was Jalen Rose in 1996, who played 36 minutes that night.

When adding in the 7 rebounds, Jokic became the only player in NBA history to ever post such a line, regardless of minutes played. It was a historic night for Jokic, but not in the way it usually is. Often putting together a combination of points, rebounds, assists, and efficiency that is historic, Jokic did not even look to score in this game - yet he still made history.

One of the most unique stars the game has ever seen, Jokic can truly dominate the game while only shooting the ball three times. That was on full display in this one, as Jokic easily took care of the Pistons in historic fashion.
