Nikola Jokić continues to shatter NBA records. In the Denver Nuggets’ recent victory over the Orlando Magic, the Serbian big man surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most assists by a center in NBA history. Jokić threw a pass to Jalen Pickett for a three-point make with about 6:26 left in the second quarter to officially break the record. Denver’s superstar entered the matchup only six assists shy of breaking Jabbar’s record of 5,660 assists. Jokić finished the night with 23 points, 13 assists, and 11 rebounds notching his 13th triple-double of the season. After the 126-115 victory, the big man now has 5,667 career assists. The Joker is once again having a campaign for the ages. As a result, he will be in the thick of MVP discourse going forward.
