Having recently surpassed the 13,000-point milestone in his career during a Wednesday night game against the Utah Jazz, Jokic has now etched his name in NBA history.
Official NBA sources have confirmed that, at the age of 28, Jokic is the youngest player to reach 13,000 points, 6,000 rebounds, and 4,000 assists in a career. This accomplishment surpasses the previous record held by LeBron James, who achieved the milestone at 29 years and 82 days old.
LeBron James, the current NBA all-time scoring leader, reached the 13,000/6,000/4,000 club on March 23, 2014. By that time, he had already accumulated an impressive 22,820 points and 5,722 assists, highlighting the exceptional nature of his career.
As of the latest update, LeBron James continues to make his mark on NBA history, currently holding the top position in the all-time scoring leaderboard and ranking fourth in all-time assists with 10,684.
In contrast to LeBron’s early career trajectory, Nikola Jokic didn’t assume a leading role with the Denver Nuggets from the outset. Initially coming off the bench, it wasn’t until 2017 that the team entrusted him with full control of the offense, marking a pivotal moment in the career of the talented Serbian big man.
