Nikola Jokic, in a post-game media interview after the match against the Golden State Warriors, criticized his teammates for one thing.
Namely, in the triumph of the Denver Nuggets with a score of 119:103, the Serbian center once again made history. Considering the fact that it was his birthday the previous Monday, he was asked by reporters if his teammates had given him anything as a gift on that occasion.
“Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Really bad teammates, awful teammates,” said Nikola Jokic with a smile on his face.
After the All-Star break, this is the third consecutive game in which the Serbian center has achieved a triple-double performance, and what a performance it was. He recorded 32 points, 16 rebounds, 16 assists, and four steals. Never before in NBA history have such numbers been achieved by a single individual.
Furthermore, he became the first player in the history books of the world’s top basketball league to have at least 14 rebounds and assists in three consecutive games. This was his 124th career triple-double and the 18th in the current season so far.
