Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is the first player in NBA history to produce 500 points, 250 rebounds and 150 assists in a single postseason. Did MJ ever match that?
: I’m not very good with numbers. Heck, I couldn’t remember the four-digit entry code to Team Post’s abode in South Florida without a cheat sheet. But I saw this stat from a hoops number-cruncher with a sense of history: Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is the first player in NBA history to produce 500 points, 250 rebounds and 150 assists in a single postseason. Sounds pretty, pretty good to me.
: The Gen X-er in me started screaming ‘Sacrilege!’ … until I hopped over to Basketball-Reference.com. The Joker’s in the same zip code, now, isn’t he? Jokic has now got 16 career NBA Playoff triple-doubles, 10 this spring alone, to Jordan’s … um, two. Their positions were completely different, mind you, and Joker would rather referee one of The Post staff’s touch football games than take 45 shots in a postseason tilt, which Jordan did against Cleveland back in ’88.
