Move over, Kareem. And Wilt? Heads up: The Joker’s coming for you next.
Nuggets center Nikola Jokic late Saturday night moved into the No. 2 spot in NBA history for triple-doubles all-time by a 7-footer, notching his 22nd such performance in a 124-102 rout of the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Pepsi Center.
The big Serbian finished with 19 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in just 28 minutes of action, passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the No. 2 slot among triple-doubles (21) in the third quarter. Chamberlain holds the league record for triple-doubles by a 7-footer with 78.
