The basketball world is in awe of Nikola Jokić’s record-breaking performance, as he led the Denver Nuggets to a thrilling victory over the Phoenix Suns. In a historic night from Friday to Saturday, Jokić delivered an unprecedented 30/20/20 triple-double, finishing with 31 points, 21 rebounds, and 22 assists—a feat never before achieved in NBA history.
Jokić’s Reaction to His Historic Feat
Even after making history, Jokić remained humble about his achievement:
“Thank you very much. I think I’ll watch it and reflect on it when I finish my career. It will be nice to sit on the couch and say, ‘That was a really good game.’ But for now, with games every two days, I’m just focused on resting and recovering,” said Jokić after his remarkable performance.
"It's gonna be nice to go finish my career, on my couch, and think I had a really good game."

- “The man has mastered the game!”
- “Watching him play makes it look too easy.”
Denver Nuggets Secure a High-Scoring Victory
Jokić’s historic performance helped the Nuggets secure a 149-141 win over the Suns after overtime. While the extra period gave him more time to make history, it does not take away from his brilliance on the court.
Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone summed it up best:
“I can’t even describe it, so don’t ask me. He’s just a phenomenal player. There are many great players in this league, but Nikola is in a class of his own.”
