The star of the night, however, was humble despite the big achievement and he sat in his locker room afterwards, along with an ice pack on his pack and eating popcorn.
The teammates, however, to mark the achievement, signed the game ball given to him in a nice gesture towards the player who has helped the Nuggets become a force in the recent times.
The two-time MVP is averaging 24.6 points, 11.7 rebounds and 10 assists in 55 games this season so far. His performance also shows up in the Nuggets record, who sit atop the Western Conference with a 44-19 win-loss record and poised to make it to the postseason with no difficulties at all.
Denver had made it the playoffs last season as well but were shown the door after losing 1-4 to the Golden State Warriors in the first round.
