Denver Nuggets All-Time Leaders in Assists, Points, Steals, Rebounds, and Triple-Doubles

Nikola Jokic has become the new face of the Denver Nuggets. A second-round draft pick, the Serbian has proven to be an unforeseen pot of gold. A discovery that has quite literally pushed the franchise to the top.

The nuggets are easily one of the best teams in the West. They are currently the top-seeded team in their conference and have pushed ahead of the Grizzlies with their recent win against the Timberwolves.

Nikola Jokic’s latest triple-double has helped him set new records and break some past ones set. He has now finally become the franchise’s Assists leader by beating the previous record holder Alex English. In light of the Joker’s new record for his franchise, we take a look at Denver’s all-time points, rebounds, steals, assists, and triple-double leaders.
