Through ***three*** quarters this season, Jokić is averaging 23.9 points, 10.8 rebounds and 8.5 assists, somehow mirroring his full-game averages during his first MVP season of 2020-21: 26.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists.

On a separate note, is stat inflation setting on?  We’re on a historic pace here, folks. We’re not even at the All-Star break and there have been 87 triple-doubles this season, putting the league on track for 152 triple-doubles, which would break the record of 142 triple-doubles set in 2020-21. To put 87 triple-doubles in perspective, the #NBA  had not seen that many in a full season until 2016-17 — and we still have about half the season left. Actually, there have been more triple-doubles this month than the entire 82-game slate in 2009-10. Drilling down even further, Josh Hart has more triple-doubles this half-season than Dwyane Wade did in his entire career.
