Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic is having yet another extremely productive season that has earned him a legitimate candidacy to win back-to-back NBA MVP. His numbers are quite prolific and the combination of points, rebounds and assists he produces is absolutely unique.

Per StatMuse, Jokic is the first player in NBA history to average more than 25.0 points, 12.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists. The Serbian center is currently producing 26.0 points, 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists in 33.0 minutes over 52 games so far in 2021-22.

In the meantime, Jokic has been registering 32.58 PER which is the the highest in a single season. Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, the owner of the all-time PER record (31.86 in 2019-2020) is currently in the second place this year with 32.53.

When all is said and done in 2021-22, either the Joker or the Greek Freak may end up finishing the season with the highest ever PER.
