What a consistently amazing season from Jokic. Genuinely a pleasure to watch him play and what a game from him tonight. 15 assists with no turnovers? Crazy.

Sombor Doubles for the above players: Jokic: 4 Embiid: 2 Sabonis: 2 Luka: 1
Jokic gets 10+ rebounds literally every game so Sombor Double is just him getting 9 assists lol
I feel like it will still take a couple of years for the NBA to realise just how great Joker and the Nuggets are.
Embiids passing has been a very nice improvement in his game this season.
Fully agree, I guess it hasn’t been necessary for him to develop his passing while playing alongside Ben Simmons (people may forget he was an incredible playmaker before his downfall) and James Harden (who literally led the league in assists last year).
People forget he had to become a playmaker in 21-22 season when Ben sat out before Harden at the deadline. I think he had a couple triple doubles and assists jumped a bit with Maxey still being so raw.
If jokic were truly a stat padder and tried to turn those sombor doubles to TDs he would become the league leader before he retired. But he’s not a stat padder, just a wins padder unfortunately
he’s only 88 TDs behind the all-time leader (Westbrook) right now, which is about 3 seasons worth at his current pace. He’ll probably become the all-time leader well before he retires.
He’s 14 playoff TDs behind Magic for #1, which … last season he had 10, but I don’t think we can count on that pace. Still, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Jokic also takes the all-time lead on that stat in about 3 years. (LeBron is only 2 behind Magic and could plausibly take the lead this postseason, but I don’t expect him to put together so many that Jokic would have a hard time catching him.)
