The sky seem's to be the limit for **[Nicola Jokić](https://www.olympics.com/en/athletes/nikola-jokic).**

After becoming the first NBA player to record a triple-double of at least 30 points, 20 rebounds and 20 assists, the **Denver Nugget’s** star may even play an important role in the MVP race.

The Serb managed 31 points, 21 rebounds, and 22 assists in the 149-141 overtime win over the Phoenix Suns to register his league-leading 29th triple-double of the season and 159th of his career.

“I think I had a really good game,” said Jokić after his accomplishment. Nuggets head coach **Michael Malone** called his ace “indescribable”. “The guy is just an incredible player, and when you are one of one in this league and the tremendous history of this league, that says a lot.”
