Just about everything has been going right for the Denver Nuggets so far this season.
The team has the best record in the Western Conference at 8-2 and also has a very good chance of returning to the Finals if they keep it up.
At the center of it all, as always, is Nikola Jokic.
The team’s biggest star is reminding people why he’s the reigning Finals MVP.
On Twitter, the team shared the fact that Jokic is the only player since 1976-77 with 20+ points and 10+ rebounds in each of the first ten games of a season.

It seemed impossible to some but Jokic is currently playing better than he did last year during his historic championship season.
He is putting up 29.8 points and 8.3 assists a game.
Additionally, Jokic is grabbing a league-high 13.7 rebounds every night.
He is picking up exactly where he left off and that is why there are countless people thinking he could be on his way to this third MVP trophy.
Jokic is surrounded by numerous stars like Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and others.
The Nuggets are without Jamal Murray right now because of a hamstring injury but they are still very competitive even without him.
The race for this season’s MVP is going to be tight.
Jokic will face stiff competition from the likes of Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers, Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder, and at least a few others.
But no one will be surprised if Jokic wins another MVP – and another championship ring – with a record like this.
