Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic registered his second triple-double in 2018-2019 and 18th overall in the NBA last night in the 106 – 103 win over the Toronto Raptors, getting closer to surpassing legendary Kareem-Abdul Jabbar.
Jabbar completed his career with 21 triple-doubles and if Jokic continues notching them in the rate he currently does, it won’t be long until he tops mighty Kareem.
