Nikola Jokic has quietly become one of the best players in the NBA. The giant Denver Nuggets big man mixes his size, shooting, and athleticism into a perfect mixture for a NBAer.

He absolutely loads up stat lines on a regular basis, but on Saturday he may had had his best one yet. The triple double included 35 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals, and a block. The kicker? He didn’t miss a shot from the field.

Nikola Jokic tonight:

35 PTS
12 REBS
11 ASTS
11/11 FG
3/3 3FG

The only other player in @NBAHistory to record a triple-double while remaining perfect from the field is Wilt Chamberlain (twice). #KiaTipOff18 pic.twitter.com/1ny7whp8DB

Yup, the last person to achieve such a stat line (perfect triple double with at least 30 points) was none other than legend Wilt Chamberlain. Triple-double machine Russell Westbrook did have a perfect triple-double a couple years ago, but only scored 18 points in the process.

Anyone that’s been sleeping on the Joker better wake up soon.
