Nikola Jokic collects Olympic triple-double, joins LeBron and Doncic

Nikola Jokic dominated the game once again, leading the Serbian national team to an Olympic bronze medal. Along the way, he registered a triple-double, a rarity at the Olympic Games.

Jokic scored 16 points on 7-for-15 shooting (6/13 2PT), grabbed 12 rebounds, and dished out 11 assists en route to a 93-83 victory over World champion Germany.

Before the bronze-medal game, Jokic led the Olympics in total rebounds, was tied first in assists and steals, and led the tournament in efficiency and double-doubles.

He joined LeBron James in the Paris Olympics, who registered a double-double just two days ago against Serbia in the world-class semifinal.

This, in turn, became the first time in Olympic history when more than one player registered a triple-double at the same Olympic tournament.
