After Jokic hit his 30-20-20 last night, that got me thinking, What does this mean for Jokics legacy, is he one of the best offensive players we've ever seen, and what does this mean for Russ's legacy? Let's go through each of them.

Jokic's Legacy

Jokic is the 1st player to ever hit a 30 point double Triple double. Which could go down as one of the greatest single player statline in the history of the NBA. Behind Wilts 100, Kobe's 81 and Scott Skiles 30 assist game. And Jokic also had 3 steals in that game aswell, contributing to the Defensive work aswell to help the Nuggets to a win. Jokic's accolades is full of stand-out awards. He has 3 MVPs, 1 ring, 1 FMVP and the first 30-20-20. Presuming and hoping he gets the MVP this season, he would be up to 4 MVPs, becoming a new member of the 4 MVP club joining the likes of Kareem, Bron, MJ, Wilt and Bill Russell. The only thing holding him back from becoming one of the GOATs is his chips. If you look at the other players in that club. They all have more then 1 ring except for Wilt, but he averaged 50 so like, it's better then the Joker. And the Joker is averaging a triple-Double through this season, joining another club with Oscar Robertson and Russ. And both of them are Guards.

Is He One Of The Best Offensive Players Of All-Time?

The Joker has shown himself to be the best offensive Centre of all time. There's no debate about that. So the real question is about all positions. The Joker this season is 3rd in PPG, 3rd in RPG and 2nd in APG. One of the greatest seasons of all-time from any player. Oscar Robertson led the league in both PPG and APG, but lacked in the rebound department. While Jokic is profilic on all offensive stats. And he might break another record with most Triple doubles in a season. Although this is pretty difficult, he could still be top 3. Showing on another level how crazy this season has been. If he does somehow get this record, he'll beat Russ again. All records that Russ has, could be broken by his Nuggets teamate!

What does this mean for Russ?

With Russ's 20-20-20 game not being the only Double Triple-Double, Surely one of his best moments as a player has significantly changed given the fact of Jokic's insane performance. So that's one main highlight of his not being seen as good.

The second thing is averaging a triple-Double across a season. Although he matched Oscar's record, it was still regarded as a massive highlight for Russ as it was in the modern era. But now because of Jokic being on the course to achieve this aswell, probably on a higher ppg, rpg and apg over Russ. That wouldn't be seen as big of an achievement.

The final thing that Russ takes pride for, is the most triple-Doubles in a season. Although it's pretty unlikely The Joker breaks this record, what happens if he does? Russ wouldn't have as high of a stock because that's the main thing people think of when they hear of his name.

If all of these go through, Russ would only show 1 MVP. He has 0 rings, unless the Nuggets win this year. With no single game record, season record or not only being in a 2 man club with Oscar.
