If you get a triple-double for another 40 times, you will become the triple-double king in history! Can Jokic surpass Westbrook next season?

Last season, although Jokic lost to Alexander and failed to win the MVP, his personal performance was also very outstanding. Not only did he average triple-double per game, but he averaged very close to 30 points per game. It was just because his team record was much worse than Alexander, so the Wizards missed the MVP.

It is worth mentioning that although Jokic failed to get an MVP last season, Jokic has also won a total of 3 MVPs in the past five seasons, and has ranked second in the MVP list in the other two seasons, and has almost won an MVP.

In addition, Jokic has won at least 16 triple-doubles in the past five seasons, and has won more than 25 triple-doubles in the past three seasons. He has won a total of 34 triple-doubles last season and has also set a career record. So far in his career, Jokic has also won 164 triple-doubles, ranking third in history, second only to Westbrook (203 times) and Robertson (181 times).

For Jokic, it seems only a matter of time before he has won more than 200 triple-doubles and became the new historical triple-double king. Jokic is currently only 18 triple-doubles away to surpass Robertson, so it is highly likely that he will rise to second place in history next season. In addition, Jokic is even expected to surpass Westbrook next season. Of course, the premise is that Westbrook will not have any triple-double next season, and it is indeed difficult for Westbrook to get a triple-double now.

Jokic is currently only 40 triple-doubles away to surpass Westbrook. Although it is not easy to get 40 triple-doubles in a single season, it is not impossible, and some people have done it in history. Robertson and Westbrook both had the feat of winning more than 40 triple-doubles in a single season, and both of them have become the kings of triple-doubles in history one after another.

There are 82 games in the regular season, and to get 40 triple-doubles, it means that you have to get a triple-double every two games on average, which is really not easy. However, Jokic undoubtedly has the ability to get 40 triple-doubles in a single season, and he almost did it last season, but Jokic has no obsession with getting a triple-double and missed a lot of opportunities to get a triple-double.

And it is only a matter of time before Jokic becomes the historical triple-double king. Even if he cannot surpass Westbrook next season, he will probably be able to do it next season. Jokic not only can win more than 200 triple-doubles, but also become the leader in history, but also has great hope of getting more than 300 triple-doubles, greatly breaking the historical record of triple-doubles, making it difficult for future players to reach.
