Nikola Jokic has been spectacular for the Denver Nuggets throughout the 2023 NBA playoffs. His elite playoff performances have helped carry the Nuggets all the way to the Western Conference finals and now has the opportunity to go all the way to the big stage if they beat the LA Lakers. With the way Jokic played in Game 4, he looks ready to win his first title as well.
As of Game 4, Nikola Jokic made history by becoming the all-time playoff leader in most triple-doubles in a playoff run. The record was previously held by Wilt Chamberlain who notched seven triple-doubles in a single postseason run. Meanwhile, Jokic beat the record by putting up his eighth triple-double. His totals could potentially rise since he's literally been a walking triple-double all season long.
Can Nikola Jokic win his first NBA title?
As of right now, the Denver Nuggets are one of two favorite teams to win an NBA championship this season. This is thanks to Nikola Jokic and his spectacular basketball prowess. Jokic has been nothing but superb for the Nuggets and that's the reason why they made it all the way to the Western Conference finals.
Throughout the 2023 NBA playoffs, Jokic so far is averaging a triple-double. As of the time of this writing, "Joker" is averaging 29.9 points, 13.2 rebounds and 10.1 assists in the postseason. His insane numbers allowed him to surpass the great Wilt Chamberlain for the most triple-doubles in a single playoff run.
Having that in mind, the question now is, can Jokic and the Nuggets go all the way and go home with a title? Honestly, given the way Denver has been playing, their hopes of winning a championship can become a reality.
Aside from Jokic's godly basketball powers, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr. and Bruce Brown have all stepped up in these playoff series.
As long as Jokic keeps playing the way he does, with the rest of the Nuggets players keeping up the pace, then Denver should have no problem completing their historic season with gold in their hands.
