Basketball Legends don’t often throw around praise lightly. So when Kevin Garnett, one of the greatest power forwards of all time, is left with nothing but a single word of praise for someone, you know something extraordinary has happened. And that is exactly what unfolded on February 23rd when Nikola Jokić carved his name into the league’s record books once again.

Garnett’s single-word reaction of “Yoooooooooo” along with multiple emojis in his Instagram story highlighting Jokic’s dominant stat line of 21 points, 19 rebounds, and 15 assists speaks volumes about how impressed he was with the Serbian international. The reaction seemed to be a mix of awe, disbelief, and perhaps even a touch of envy.

Jokic’s performance against the Washington Wizards was not just another impressive stat line but a masterclass in basketball. The 2x MVP’s flawless performance included a perfect 10-for-10 shooting from the field, showcasing his incredible efficiency and shot-making ability. It was a performance that transcended individual brilliance and lifted the Denver Nuggets to a resounding 130-110 victory.

This performance by Jokic is not once in a blue moon incident but a part of the legacy that he is creating for himself. Apart from the recent ’21-19-15′ stat line, Jokic also inked his name in the NBA history books with his performance against the Wizards.

Is Nikola Jokić redefining himself from MVP to Legend?

The Joker has now become the third player ever to score a triple-double against every single team he has faced. Washington Wizards was the only team pending on his checklist. With this achievement, he has entered an elite league of players, which includes LeBron James and Russell Westbrook in the exclusive club.
