The two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic continues to leave his footprint in the league's history. After the All-Star break the Denver Nuggets returned to action against the Washington Wizards last Thursday. The serbian recorded another triple-double but this one marked a special milestone in the Joker's career.

For Jokic, this accomplishment represents more than just a number. With this triple-double, Jokic has reached the mark of having at least one triple-double against every NBA team except the Nuggets, where he has played his entire career.

The last NBA Finals MVP has been a dominant force in the league since his arrival, but this latest accomplishment demonstrates his consistency and versatility on the court. Despite his impressive stats, Jokic remained humble when addressing the topic after the game.

"As I always say, it's something I'll think about when my career is over. It's a milestone in my legacy. I'll look back and say, 'That's a really cool thing to have accomplished,'" Jokic commented.
