Nikola Jokic Ties Oscar Robertson in NBA Triple-Double History

Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets' center, has achieved a triple-double in a single game, which is no surprise given his average of a triple-double last season.

Jokic's triple-double on Thursday night marked his fourth in a regular season opener, tying Oscar Robertson for the NBA record, according to NBA PR.

This is the best company to keep.

He is tied with a great player in basketball history, while Russell Westbrook is one of three players tied with two season-opening triple-doubles.

This is a high-powered list.
