It's not very often that you can throw around the term "generational" in sports, because if used too much, it wouldn't hold its value.
In the NBA, there are really only a handful of generational talents that are playing in the game today. One of them happens to be playing in Denver, that being Nikola Jokic.
Despite being drafted in the second round of the 2014 NBA Draft, Jokic has far surpassed the expectations that would've been set if he was even the first overall selection.
With three league MVPs to his name and a good chance of earning another before the end of his career
he built upon his status among the all-time greats of this game with his performance against the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday night.
With his triple-double against the Hawks tonight, Jokic's performance becomes the seventh-fastest triple-double in NBA history (in reference to player minutes).
While an impressive feat, recording triple-double early in games is something he's familiar with.
