May 22, despite losing to Thunder core player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the 2024-25 regular season MVP selection, Jokic still left a strong mark in NBA history with a series of stunning performances. The Nuggets center not only continued his usual comprehensive style, but also refreshed personal and even league records in multiple key statistics.

This season, Jokic has ushered in another " evolution " in his career . He averaged 29.6 points per game, breaking his personal career high scoring record, and his shooting percentage was as high as 58.1% , showing extremely high offensive efficiency. In terms of organization, he is still the engine of the team, averaging 10.2 assists per game, also the highest level in his career, ranking second in the league's assists list. In addition, he is not far behind on the defensive end, averaging 1.8 steals per game , also setting a career high and tied for second in the league.

What is even more shocking is that Jokic became the first player in NBA history to rank in the top three in the league in four core statistics: points, rebounds, assists and steals in the same season. Among them, his average rebounds per game was 12.7, ranking third in the league. Such an all-round performance, even if looking at the entire NBA history, only a few people can match it.

It is worth mentioning that Jokic has completed 34 triple-doubles this season, setting a record for the number of triple-doubles in a single season for a center player. This is not only another pearl in his personal honor book, but also breaks people's perception of the traditional role of a center. With this feat, he also became the third player in NBA history to average a triple-double in a single season after Oscar Robertson and Russell Westbrook .

Although he finished second in the MVP voting, Jokic's statistics and performance are undoubtedly MVP -level. His dominance is no longer limited to scoring or rebounding, but completely reconstructs the modern definition of basketball as " offensive and defensive, all-around hub " . In this new era dominated by speed and skills, Jokic has proved in his own way that big men can still dominate the rhythm of the game and even influence the balance of victory and defeat with an all-around attitude.

Although he missed the MVP again, Jokic's 2024-25 season is destined to be a year worth recording in history. He is not only the cornerstone of the Nuggets, but also a miracle maker on the NBA court. With his career still running at a high level, he still has unlimited possibilities to continue writing his own legendary chapter in the future.
