Making NBA history has become routine for Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic. Putting up stat lines on a nightly basis that have either never been done before, or have only been done by a select few NBA legends, Jokic is truly in a league of his own.

Breaking a new NBA record with his latest performance, Jokic became the first player in NBA history with at least 14 assists and 14 rebounds in three-straight games, per the Nuggets.

Jokic is the only player in the NBA who could break such a record, as there is nobody else with his combination of playmaking and rebounding ability. When adding in his scoring ability, which is also elite, Jokic is a tier above the rest of the league right now.

Solidifying himself as the best player in basketball with his Finals MVP run last postseason, Jokic silenced any of the critics who were still doubting his greatness. Answering that run with another MVP caliber year, Jokic has been every bit as good this season as he was last season.

Hoping to lead the Nuggets to another title, Jokic has been locked in on that goal. The Nuggets have some tough competition in the Western Conference, but they are still the favorites most places to come out of the West. Betting against Jokic is hard to do right now.
