Nikola Jokić passes Magic Johnson for 3rd-most triple-doubles in NBA history

Russell Westbrook will retire as the NBA's all-time leader in triple-doubles, but he might not have that title by the time his Denver Nuggets teammate Nikola Jokiu0107 is done.

The three-time NBA MVP posted 27 points, 20 rebounds and 11 assists on Thursday in a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, giving Jokiu0107 the 139th triple-double of his career. That moves ahead of Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson for the third-most ever.

Only Westbrook (200) and Oscar Robertson (181) have more.

Congrats to Nikola Jokiu0107 of the @nuggets for moving to 3rd on the all-time TRIPLE-DOUBLES list!
