Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola
Jokic added another historic achievement to his resume this week,
passing NBA legend Oscar Robertson for the second-most career
triple-doubles in league history. The milestone came during
Denver’s 136-120 road win over the Chicago Bulls, where Jokic
logged a 22-point, 17-assist, 14-rebound performance, which was his
182nd career triple-double. 

The triple-double not only
powered the Nuggets to a win but also officially moved Jokic ahead
of Robertson (181) on the NBA’s all-time list. 

Just recently today, Jokic
logged another triple-double, this time against the Memphis
Grizzlies. He had 26 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 assists for his
183rd triple-double, and 4th straight over the past 4
games.

Now only Russell Westbrook (207)
sits ahead of him, meaning the only thing standing between Jokic
and the most triple-doubles in league history is the former MVP
himself. 

Jokic’s historic run this season
isn’t an isolated burst but it’s part of a larger career narrative
of all-around excellence. The three-time MVP and eight-time
All-Star has been a constant triple-double threat, regularly
affecting games with elite scoring, rebounding and playmaking from
the center position, an uncommon combination in NBA
history. 

With continued high-level
production, Jokic appears on track to make a legitimate push at
Russell Westbrook’s record of 207 career triple-doubles.
Westbrook’s record has stood as one of the NBA’s most iconic
milestones since he first surpassed Robertson’s mark years
ago. 

By passing Oscar Robertson for
second all-time in triple-doubles, Nikola Jokic further cements his
place among the most versatile players in NBA history – and with
Westbrook’s record now clearly in his sights, this season could be
another defining chapter in his Hall of Fame career.
