Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone believes Nikola Jokic's greatness is being "taken for granted" after he moved past NBA royalty in the record books on Tuesday.
The two-time MVP continued his scintillating form with 29 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists and two blocks in a 118-102 drubbing of the Phoenix Suns in Game Five at Ball Arena to give the Nuggets a 3-2 series lead, putting them within one win of the Western Conference finals.
It was Jokic's 10th career play-off triple-double, making him the leading center in NBA history ahead of the great Wilt Chamberlain and giving him the perfect response to a $25,000 fine following his sideline clash with Suns owner Mat Ishbia.
