The Denver Nuggets are back in the thick of the Western Conference elite once again after the 2025-26 NBA season started recently, and their All-Star center Nikola Jokic has given basketball fans another reason to see why he is one of the most dominant players in basketball history.

Jokic and the Nuggets improved to 9-2 on the season Wednesday after beating the Los Angeles Clippers, but the Serbia star completed a wild NBA feat that just shows how elite he can be with the ball in his hands.

The Denver big man finished the night with 55 points and 12 assists, and while the double-double showing was certainly an outrageous effort the Nuggets star managed to outscore the entire Clippers starting five, which includes James Harden, John Collins and Ivica Zubic.
This season, Jokic is averaging 28.8 points per game while shooting over 68 percent from the field and giving the Nuggets another strong start to the NBA season as they look to get back into the championship mix.

Jokic’s historic NBA feat certainly won’t be his last this year, and he and his teammates will be pushing for more wins throughout the season with the hopes of returning to the NBA Finals. The Nuggets won their only championship in team history back in 2023.
