Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic is dominating at such a regular rate that it is easy to take for granted the remarkable numbers he is posting. But his latest achievement should force fans to genuinely take pause.

Jokic scored 33 points on near-perfect 14-of-16 shooting and notched 14 rebounds and nine assists in Denver's 125-114 win over the Dallas Mavericks Friday night. His superb effort led the team to a 1-0 start in the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament, while also inching him closer to a sensational basketball feat.

“Nikola Jokic recorded his seventh career game with 30 points, 10 rebounds and 85 percent shooting,” ESPN Stats & Info posted on Saturday. “That is the second-most such games in NBA history, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain (12),” Yeesh.

Whenever a modern player is mentioned in the same conversation as one of the most dominant forces the sport has ever seen, it carries substantial weight. In Chamberlain's era, no other star was really piling up such absurdly well-rounded stats. The 7-foot-1 legend possessed a unique combination of size and skill, to which his contemporaries could not compare.

Sound familiar? Fast forward to five decades later, and Jokic has a similarly unique offensive repertoire. No one had an answer for it last postseason, as the 28-year-old Serbian native earned NBA Finals MVP honors to cap off the best season in Nuggets history. Jokic has picked up where he left off.

He could move closer to Wilt Chamberlain when Denver (5-1) welcomes in the Chicago Bulls (2-4) to Ball Arena on Saturday night. Regardless of what the statistics show, fans would be wise to fully appreciate this big-man anomaly.
