And he put some insane numbers Nikola Jokic went for 35 points, 22 rebounds and 17 assists in his 20th triple-double of the season. They are 9-1 in last 10 games.
when they have their top 5 guys, they're still obviously really good. but if they're missing even one, things get dicey and even jokic struggles a bit to plug all the holes.
Did you get to see much of gangly white guy weirdo Bill Walton? He could dish like a muthuh. Never a great scorer, though. Joker is on some whole Other Level.
Those numbers are indeed INSANE. Shows up for work with a lunchpail, ready to get jit done, and he does. He's a pro through and through, but he seems exasperated a lot of the time on the court: others are not up to speed with him and he suffers. Good thing he cultivated his sense of humor, which one of my all-time faves already in NBA history.
yeah, i'm not quite old enough to have seen much of bill, but my dad says he was incredible for the brief time he was healthy. but yeah, not a scorer. jokic's touch at his size is unheard of. not even the elder sabonis was like this in that regard. so we've seen passing big men like him (maybe not quite like him, but similar enough), but ones that also could score like this. i guess wilt technically qualifies, but he wasn't also a shooter from distance, nor do i think he's thought of as someone who was a crafty passer (just an effective one).
