Nikola Jokic · From the moment that Nikola Jokić steps onto the hardwood, two things immediately enter the realm of possibility: a never-before-seen statline and a high-IQ play to match. In taking the best that the testy Toronto Raptors had to offer, the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player presented a little bit of both, shuffling the deck as only “The Joker” can, with nifty dimes, effortless scoring at all three levels, and an impenetrable defensive approach along the way. Revered for his unselfish play, the Denver Nuggets superstar’s box score was equally charitable, as Jokić turned in 35 points, 17 rebounds, 12 assists, six steals, and two blocks, making him NBA history’s first-ever player to construct such a box score. Jokić’s comprehensive effort helped the Nuggets offset a 22-point deficit on the way to one of the season’s most thrilling wins on March 11, 2024. · State of Mint · State of Mint
