Jokic leads this decade in total pts, rebounds, assists, steals

[Ssj16]

I expect Shai and Luka to stifle this line by 2030. No chance that continues. Bro is already 30.

Luka has a chance but Shai isn't going to lead any category outside of scoring and maybe steals. What world do you live where Shai is getting stats across the board like that?

[hagredionis]

I don't know what data OP using, the one I've has Trae ahead of Jokic in assists.

To be fair to Jokic. If there is any star player in the league that has a game that should age ridiculously well, it’s Jokic. The guy already plays like an old guy you see at the gym who can’t jump over a phone book.

Late in 1st last night, he was backing down on the baseline, looped around into the lane and lunged for a 2 hand slam but was denied by the front of the rim.

Inaccurate to say in nba history considering there weren't stats for blocks & steals before 74. Just recorded nba history. Chances are that Wilt led the 60's in pts, rebs and blocks though maybe Russell beat him out. I wish we as fans/social media & whatnot would start differentiating on these kinds of things. It's not like blocks and steals weren't happening before 1974 just because they weren't officially recorded.

Here is the stats if people are wondering

The crazy thing is with all the injuries, I do not see anybody(exxept maybe Luka in pts) catching up to him in any of the categories. Short of Jokic getting injured himself, but he's been pretty durable.

But will Jokic EVER average 30 points per game for a season?

This seasons only 29.1, and his best ever was 29.6 points per game.
And in the last 2 years of playoffs he's averaged only 26.2 and 28.7 which is why they fell just short of beating OKC.

But really they need Jokic to score about 32ppg or more in the regular season to have any chance of winning more games than OKC (which was 68 last season, and maybe even more this season) and getting Game 7 at home.

Jokic has averaged 36ppg in his last 5 games, so maybe he's aware of this now... because averaging 12 assists looks nice on paper, but there's always the risk that Murray or others will go cold in a 4th Quarter etc.

It’s like you never watched the Nuggets play.

Nikola Jokić is 73-20 with the Nuggets when recording 12+ assists in his career.

Nikola Jokić is 111-49 with the Nuggets when scoring 30+ points in his career

And if you want I could get nasty and bring up when Jokic scores 32 or more.

Leading the decade in both rebounds and assists is just mental to think about

[Exp0sed]

No player in NBA history has ever played a decade in which he led in 4 out of 5 major statistical categories. The record is 3 by Kareem in the 1970s.

This includes the 'yoffs.

I have no doubt he'll lose the points leader category by 2030 but it's still pretty wild that over half a decade in, he's leading 4 of 5 major statistical categories.

does that count a "decade" as the round numbered decades or of any ten year stretch?

[blabla]

Highly likely he also leads in total plus minus

That's because there are a lot of games during Jokic's career where Murray and others have shot poorly in the 1st Half and got blown-out, and then Jokic will take over in the 2nd half or 4thQ and finish with 30+ but it'll be too late to get the win.

That's how you get those stats, and that's why I watch Denver play and observe Murray going cold and costing Denver games, which they would have won if Jokic had taken more shots.

But Jokic probably realizes this now, because even though he's only averaging 16.9 attempts this season, he's averaging 20.4 shots in his last 5 games, because Jokic sees OKC headed for 72 wins and he's not taking any chances (knowing Denver need home-court-ad in the playoffs).

I expect Jokic to play more games than Luka over the rest of this decade.

[xinxin]

He’s probably one of the very few who has the built and the skills to pull this off.

Great hands, nice soft touch near the rim. Doesn’t need to use that much power to push people around

Yeah, but only 1 title. That's why they call him Chokic.

[Blame Rasho]

He is a mofo. I hope he can continue.

Again what is Jokic’s record when he records 12 plus assists? I bring up evidence you bring up nothing. Jokic has a way better record when he gets 12 plus assists than he doesn’t period. So what you said is false.

[scrabbarista]

Jokic is averaging 29 ppg and on track for the highest TS% of all time. You have to go down '23 Durant at the 44th spot to find another player who averaged at least 20 ppg.

So, you have arguably the greatest passer of all time having arguably the greatest scoring season of all time.

While leading the league in rebounding.

who will pass him? luka? Shai?

According to Statmuse, Giannis scored 10400 points, Jokic 10298
