Irre NBA gala by Nikola Jokic! The Denver Nuggets Center wrote history and at least conjured up the best game in the history of the world’s best basketball league in the history.
In a true NBA thriller, the Denver Nuggets prevailed early Saturday morning (CET) in overtime with 149: 141 against the Phoenix Sund. The Serbian superstar Nikola Jokic, who provided a novelty, was a guarantee of the tight victory.
Jokic was the best thrower of his team with 31 points, but supplemented this value with outstanding 21 rebounds and 22 assists. It was the first triple double of the NBA history with more than 30 points and more than 20 assists and rebounds.
For Jokic, 22 Assists also mean a new best value in his career and the best yield that a center will ever get in the NBA.
When the final siren sounded, the masses had long since risen in the stands to celebrate Jokic with a standing ovation. Members and opponents sought the way to the 30-year-old and congratulated him to his gala.
“When I ended my career and will sit on the couch, it will be nice to think that I have made a really good game”, given the burden of the coming days, it is currently difficult to realize what he has succeeded. The focus is on how he gets the necessary relaxation, explained a wide smiling jokic at “Espn”.
“Nikola Jokic is unique,” enthused Nuggets coach Michael Malone. “I mean, the first player who has ever played a 30, 20 and 20 game.” And further: “The guy is just an incredible player, and if you are unique in this league and with their enormous history, it says a lot. And there are many good players in this league, but in my opinion Nikola is simply a class in itself.”
The Oklahoma City Thunder continues for the nuggets that are clearly on playoff course on Sunday.
