Jokic tonight: 37 PTS 18 REB 15 AST 13-21 FG His fourth 30/15/15 game — the only player over the last 40 seasons with more than two.

Nikola Jokic finished with 37 points, 18 rebounds, 15 assists. Another day, another Jokigami. That exact statline has never been put up before.

Nuggets-Mavericks just finished one of the craziest games I’ve ever seen in person. Hard to overstate how good Kyrie Irving was. And yet, Denver has Jokić…

I have no idea how to evaluate Jokic's games this season. What's "above average" for him? Every night he's as perfect offensively as humanly possible.

Jokic by far the best player in the league.

Kyrie hits a ridiculous banker over Peyton Watson. Hastings: "Watson can't play better defense than that." Marlowe: "Well, he could have blocked it." Next time down, Watson with a ridiculous block on Kyrie.

37-18-15 is so ridiculous man…

Somehow, it’s never been clearer that Nikola Jokić is the best and most valuable basketball player in the world.

Kyrie Irving at Nuggets tonight: 43 PTS 17-22 FG 6-8 3PT ...and lost, because Nikola Jokic became the first player in NBA history to record a stat line of: 37 PTS 18 REB 15 AST

Nikola Jokic this season: 38.1 MPG 29.7 PPG 66.7 TS% 56.4 3P%—3.9 3PA/g 13.7 RPG 11.7 APG 2.7 STL + BLK 7-3 Record On the road to a 4th MVP?

This is a form of toughness -- steadying your season amid injuries and some internal friction. This is what real contenders do when met with adversity. Having the best player in the world at the (ever-rising) peak of his powers is the ultimate failsafe.

Jokic this season: — More PPG than MVP Kobe — More RPG than MVP Duncan — More APG than MVP Nash — More SPG than DPOY Smart — Higher 3P% than MVP Curry — Higher TS% than MVP Giannis

that’s certainly one way to get a triple-double.

Coach Malone shared when he talked to Aaron Gordon about his minutes restriction coming back, Gordon said he’d be willing to come off the bench even when he’s 100% healthy. Malone isn’t saying that’s what he’s going to do, but he wanted us to know how special of a person AG is.
