Nikola Jokic took another step in his already incredible career Saturday night in the Denver Nuggets' 136-120 win over the Chicago Bulls by making NBA history and passing over an all-time great. 

Jokic had 22 points, 14 rebounds and 17 assists in Saturday night's win and with his 182nd career triple-double he passed Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson for the second-most triple-doubles in NBA history, now only trailing Russell Westbrook's titanic total of 207 and counting. 

Jokic has distinguished himself as one of, if not the, best players in the NBA. With three MVPs, a championship and his ever-growing progression up the NBA's all time triple-double list, Jokic continues to find new ways to impress the league and redefine what it means to be a center in the NBA. 

"It just speaks to the uniqueness of who he's been in our league and it's changed what the position means," Nuggets head coach David Adelman said (via Nuggets). "To be center, it's the ultimate position center in the history of the game. There's no arguing that... Really, really proud to be here to see it."

There's truly never been a player like Jokic in NBA history. To do what he's done at the center position truly breaks the mold of what was previously thought of as possible.

Not only does he perform all the typical duties of a center, inside defense and interior scoring, but he's the team's leading playmaker, a nearly-unstoppable scorer and he even has the capacity to shoot three pointers. 

The fact that he's dominating a stat category in triple-doubles that's almost exclusively reserved for guards like Robertson and Westbrook should be telling enough of the way that he's changed the game. 

Not only is he totaling triple-doubles relentlessly, he's achieving those stats in a massive way. Jokic isn't barely crossing the double-digit threshold of each of the stat categories to qualify, he's blasting past them. 14 rebounds and 17 assists in a single NBA game is an absurd level of production even without scoring. 

Every game presents an opportunity for Jokic to dazzle in a new way or make even more history and if he didn't have the uncertainty of missing so many games due to a knee injury earlier in the season, he would be all but guaranteed to be a lock for yet another MVP. 

The Nuggets are Jokic's team, without a doubt, and the NBA is truly his for the taking. There has never been a player like Jokic before, there may never be one like him again. By the end of his career, he could not only lead the NBA record books in triple-doubles, he could go down as the greatest basketball player the world has ever seen.
