While the Denver Nuggets were defeated by the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night, Nikola Jokic created history. Jokic became the youngest player in NBA history to have at least 13,000 points, 6,000 rebounds, and 4,000 assists in his career.

Jokic eclipsed LeBron James’ record for the youngest player to attain these milestones before his 29th birthday, doing so at 29 years and 82 days old.

Passing LeBron James on any list is significant, but especially on any list based on age. Because his domination in the league began at the age of 19, James is the youngest player to almost every major NBA statistical milestone. Few players have entered the league that young and that good, but James is the exception to many rules when it comes to his excellence.

One of the main reasons Jokic is the best player in the world right now is his mix of scoring ability, playmaking ability, and dominance on the glass. Nobody can claim proficiency in all three of those categories like Jokic, as he demonstrated last postseason when he became the first player in NBA history to lead a playoff run in total points, rebounds, and assists.

While Denver suffered a heartbreaking setback on Wednesday, Jokic made history yet again.
