A record that was once difficult to match will probably be broken again in a year or two. It’s amazing how Jokić became that dominant in the last three years.

I think Russell’s was harder to do as (with the help of Steven Adams) he was crashing the boards, starting his own fast break, and either driving to the basket or having the eagle eye to drop it off for the assist…at a VERY high rate throughout the game.
I think Jokic’s is the most efficient AND the most “…DUH” variation, as the offense runs through him and due to his offensive threat when the defense collapses he effortlessly pitches out to a team of snipers. WHen someone tries their luck, he just waltz to the basket, potentially drawing the foul, and making the opposing team groan.
And he obviously can grab the board with ease. No contest most of the time.
The system they’re running is so damn good and he is playing his role so efficiently that only injuries could hamper him or the Nuggets.
Again, Russell’s was the hardest. Joker’s is the smartest. To see both in my lifetime is fucking amazing and I hope we don’t discount either, as both were not hampering their team from winning.
