Nikola Jokic has always had skill during his time in the NBA. However, the man has unquestionably ascended over the last couple of years. And nothing could make that clearer than the man’s 2 MVP awards during that time period.

Simply put, Nikola Jokic is absolutely incredible, perhaps even a tad underrated, simply because he doesn’t play in the flashiest of ways. And recently, the man gave fans yet another reason to believe that statement.
Nikola Jokic becomes the 6th player in NBA history to get to 100 triple-doubles
Nikola Jokic is a 7-footer with all the skills to pass the ball, while also scoring it in any way he wants to. So, it wouldn’t be the greatest shock for the man to get a few triple-doubles over the course of his NBA career. However, he has gone above that by quite a margin. Take a look at the tweet below.

That is beyond incredible. And yet, this is Nikola Jokic. The man plays with such ease against the best opponents, that it’s hard to imagine the man having to strain himself to achieve anything.
But of course, Jokic isn’t the first player ever to achieve this feat. So, who are the other 5 that did it before him?
Who else has achieved 100 triple-doubles during their NBA career?
Russell Westbrook is famously the king of triple-doubles. And so, obviously, the man reached the mark before Nikola Jokic did, and has recorded 198 of these over the course of his career.
Aside from him, Oscar Robertson (181), Magic Johnson (138), Jason Kidd (107, and LeBron James (106) have done it too.
