The All-round King, Jokic leads the lead in 9 series scores, rebounds and assists, second only to James 24 times

Nicola Jokic continued to write legends among NBA historical superstars, leading the score, rebounds and assists in the playoff series for the ninth career, becoming a legend again.

The Denver Nuggets star performed well in the first round of the series against the Los Angeles Clippers, averaging 40 minutes per game, scoring 24.0 points, 11.6 rebounds and 10.1 assists, shooting as high as 50.0% from the field and 45.2% from three-pointers. This is not only a master-level performance in the data, but also a reminder that the defending MVP is still one of the most comprehensive and efficient players in the history of basketball.

In the five-game series, Jokic scored a total of 168 points, 81 rebounds and 71 assists, as well as 16 steals and 6 blocks. He leads the entire series in four of the five major statistics, surpassing all players on the field in an all-round way.

While role players like Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun made valuable contributions to the Denver Nuggets, Jokic’s mastery of offense, shooting percentage and defensive awareness eventually beat the Clippers in Game 7.

With this latest all-around show, Jokic joins an elite team of players who have led the score, rebounds and assists several times in the playoff series. Historically, only LeBron James has surpassed him in this stat, and he has accomplished this feat 24 times. This puts Jokic far ahead in similar stats, while players like Larry Bird, Jason Kidd and Magic Johnson are far behind in similar stats.

Jokic's stability in key games continues to be ignored by ordinary fans, but those who have a deeper understanding of basketball will not be ignored. In Game 7, while he ended up with only 16 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, the attention he attracted opened up the offensive space for others.

Denver's balanced offense, including Gordon's 22 points and Braun's 21 points, are all thanks to Jokic's selflessness and strong attraction to defense.

This marks another time when Jokic not only contributed data in the playoffs, but also raised the team's ceiling with its pure comprehensiveness.

He is able to read defense, break through defense from the elbow zone, control rebounds, and make timely choices—whether through passing, shooting or steal—those abilities make him unique in today’s NBA. Few centers in league history have been able to do so at such top-notch scores, organization and rebounds like Jokic.

What is even more impressive is that he did it all in obscurity. Jokic's game has no highlights, no exaggerated celebrations, and no moments to smash the entire network. Only night after night of elite performance.

Players like LeBron keep making headlines with their longevity and iconic status, while Jokic quietly creates one of the most incredible playoff resumes in recent years.

The Nuggets are about to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round, and Jokic will strive to create new glory. If he can continue to lead all major stats in the series, his score will go into double digits, and few people except LeBron can match it.

"Joker" is not only rewriting the history of the Denver Nuggets, but he is also creating the history of the NBA playoffs time and time again, winning triple-double time and time again.
