Lol. He didn't have one "signature" game he had four games where he dictated and controlled his teams' success. But for the "One or maybe two Signature Game" award, sure, Murray should get it.

Or maybe watch the last two minutes of Game 4 where Jokic dropped a one foot fadeaway three AND plowed through and scored on a top defensive center and guard who both fouled him. You know, winning game 4.

That tweet epitomizes the style over substance view where casual or ignorant NBA fans, and media, see and gush over the isolation guy who can take someone off the dribble or jack up 30 ft threes. But the generational talent that does it all consistently is overlooked.

And I'm probably a semi-casual fan but just watching a few games with this dude and it's shit no one's ever seen or done.

Maybe we shouldn't post dumb tweets from random people, most of those are even less intelligent than the average surly poster

He really does deserve the title of Mr. Triple Double. I have never seen him do anything to pad his stats, it's all about scoring and making his teammates better. I hope he gets a Triple Double in 4+ games this Finals, so he can grab #3 all time on this list:

Here's the complete list of players with multiple NBA Finals triple-doubles:

Player NBA Finals games Finals triple-doubles
LeBron James 54 10
Magic Johnson 50 8
Draymond Green 28 3
Larry Bird 31 2
Walt Frazier 17 2
Wilt Chamberlain 35 2
Bob Cousy 42 2
Bill Russell 70 2
Jimmy Butler 5 2

Between Jimmy and Jokic, the stat sheets will be filled up like a Mauritanian* hooker on discount.

 

I went with Czech hooker first, but after some literary research, discovered that Mauritania has the lowest "hooker per capita" ratio, at just 1 per 10,000 people. Thus, discounted hookers are likely quite busy...just to show my work there...you're welcome.

Why are you leaving out Russ Westbrook's triple doubles?
