Everything was redone by Nikola Jokic. Once again, he has the MVP trophy. Only six players in NBA history have won the award three times in as many seasons as Serbian-born Denver Nuggets star Jokic. He was named the league’s Most Valuable Player on Wednesday night.
With 12.4 rebounds, 9.0 assists, and 26.4 points per game on average. This season, Jokic was the only player to rank in the top 10 in the NBA in terms of assists, rebounds, and points per game. Others averaged more in each of those categories, and he has had stronger seasons overall.
Among the reporters and broadcasters who voted for honors at the end of the regular season, Jokic received 79 out of 99 votes for first place.
While accepting the award on TNT, Jokic stated, “It has to start with your teammates.” “I really am nothing without them. I would be powerless without them. Development coaches, players, coaches, players, and the organization Without them, I would not be the person I am now.
Dallas’ Luka Doncic finished third and Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished second, both making their first appearances in the top three MVP rankings. It was the third straight season that three players born outside of the United States placed 1-2-3 in the MVP voting: Jokic from Serbia, Gilgeous-Alexander from Canada, and Doncic from Slovenia.
