Nikola Jokic just recorded his 77th triple double, the second most by a center in NBA history. Wilt has 78.

1. And to think Wilt was playing against a bunch of guys who couldn’t do anything but shoot midrange jump shots

2. Crazy that it’s taken so long for such a pivotal position to catch up to Wilt.

3. Best player in the game and it’s not even close

4. I wonder what Wilt’s real number would be with blocks counted. It might be double that since it was usually a given that he’d get double digit points/rebounds, and some of his unofficial block numbers were crazy.

5. Nah that’s Otto Porter Jr loll

6. Let Jokić get some steals for that quadruple double. Draymond almost did it once but in typical Draymond fashion couldn’t score more than six points.

7. From Jokic’s rookie year, who could have predicted he would turn into such a historically great player?

8. This is what Steph’s 3 point record chart looked like early in his career. Surrounded by greats and way fewer games played than any of them. He’s obviously going to crush this record before he’s done.

10. I still remember, probably a decade ago, this was one of those stats people thought was untouchable.

11. Oh it’s Jokic, I guess triple doubles are cool now.

12. Crazy that a Wilt record is gonna be not just beaten but absolutely obliterated over the next few years

13. Triple doubles are the most overrated stat in basketball. Especially rebounds, it’s easier than ever to get rebounds. Everyone including big men are hovering around at the 3 point lime in todays game instead of in the paint. Not much boxing out. Players used to battle in the paint to box out and grab rebounds. Not anymore. That’s why you get guys like westbrook getting double digit rebounds. Westbrook would not get that many rebounds in the 2000’s and earlier

14. Jokic is no joke

15. But Wilt played against plumbers

16. when i saw a sabonis in the list i was expecting the dad

17. wish more people and the media would talk about jokic triple doubles vs westbrooks. His all come in the flow of the offense. His rebounds are all legit. They’re night and day

18. people really had Embiid as MVP when this guy is here doing this regularly, insane delusion

19. People still think the nuggets are a bad team and jokic is carrying hard lol

20. Triple doubles are crazy. Completely inflated back in the day to the point nobody thought anybody would reach Oscar. It was a real treat for a player to get one in the mid 2000s. And now it’s back to being inflated again.
