3 MVPs in four years. In this span Nikola Jokic is averaging 26-12-9 on 58-36-82 splits while leading the Nuggets 205 wins. It’s as dominant as a stretch as any player has had over a four year period in history and puts him amongst the inner circle of all time greats.
BUT, TO BE RUNNER UP FOR 3 YEARS, & THEN WIN 3 YEARS IN A ROW, & ALSO,.. EVEN MORE INSANE!!! GUESS WHO DID THAT SSSHHHIIITTT.... THE GREATEST ALL-AROUND PLAYER OF ALL-TIME IN NBA'S HISTORY!!!
He’s simply the greatest floor raising player I’ve ever seen. Been watching NBA since mid 60’s. 2nd rd 41st pick, 3x mvp ,FMVP and championship. Greatest draft pick of all time.
If he wins Minnesota and ill call him an all time player. Jokic always has help . Let see what the mvp does now . He still has good roleplayers .Now he needs to show up for his team
Should have had 4. No one should have voted for SGA, it wasn’t even close. Jokic WS48 .299 (#1) > SGA .275 (#2) Lebron (#25) is .164 for reference. Jokic : SGA OWS 12.0 (#1) > 10.5 (#2) DWS 5.1 (#2) > 4.2 (#8) VORP 10.6 (#1) > 7.1 (#4) BPM 13.2 (#1) > 9.0 (T-#3) PER 31.0 (#1) > 29.3 (#3) TS% .650 > .636 79 games played > 75 games played DEN and OKC have identical season records (57W-25L). Usage 29.3% (#20) to 32.8% (#3) (Higher usage can inflate certain numbers such as FGA and FTA).
Instead of complaining, watch and enjoy it, absolutely no one predicted how great this guy would be at the 41st pick in the second round. He plays unselfish basketball, the way it’s meant to be played.
Nah we don't care if he's getting cooked by the wolves when they don't even have Rudy Gobert and he's getting owned by 6th man of the year naz Reid by the defense.
Imagine beeing so good that other teams are being constructed solely to stop you. He changed the game. You need three big men to stop him. Three big men to stop one's impact on the game and his team mates. That is why he is the mvp!!!
Man they ain't adapt shit. You just see he's not as dominant he be playing 200lb 6'9 Centers he's like 350 lbs he just backs them up & score 😭😂 watch the Golden State games shit is hilarious 90s/2000s you couldn't do that every team had defensive Centers.
Giannis should've won it last year. I am so sick and tired of people saying Jokic should've won it over the Best Player in the League with the best record in the league. Just crazy!
Nikola Jokic is such an amazing player. You take him off this team and the Nuggets go from Championship contender to lottery team. His on/off court differential proves it.
@@madespamz stats do not care about your little perspective LOL, Jokic is top 10 in all normal stats and TOP 1 in all advanced stats, in other words, the man is the current best player in the nba. Do you remember how they gave Lebron mvp over kobe, because he was the most effiscient player in the league, well guess what, Jokic is in the same situation, he is the most efficient player in the league, but this time, theres is no one like kobe that he robbed, he is that Kobe, LOL. So to put it in simple letters, JOKIC is the MVP. 70plus votes btw, its undeniable
Mf got picked 41st and rn has 3 mvps in 4 years. I mean as a Jokic fan I can say that maybe Luka deserved it more but Jokic is just more of a team-first guy.
Joker is the best big in the league and has been for a few years now and the way he played this season was nothing short of greatness. Well deserved as the MVP Good luck to Shai next season or in the coming years his time will eventually come
Saw the video clip of his reaction when the award was announced. lol... I've seen more excitement when somebody finds out there favorite desert at the restaurant is free because it's their birthday.
Absolutely deserved. Casually adding a MVP to his already crazy collection of accolades and trophies. Hopefully, we don't have another Dirk Nowitzki moment. However, this will definitely motivate the Nuggets for Friday.
@@krishnawidardjo5777 Dirk was awarded the MVP after his Mavericks went 67-15 and then were eliminated in the first round by the 8th seeded Warriors in 2007.
@@gsl649 Because he did. Denver had exactly the same record as Thunder despite their second best player Murray missing 23 games and the only reason Thunder got the #1 seed is because Denver literally threw the #1 seed away in the final game due to pure complacency. Jokic had like 7-9 FTA with 4 minutes to go in the 4th quarter. That's their best scorer. They could've won that game easy if they weren't so careless Truth be told, Luka had the best season but Jokic deserved MVP too Jokic 26/9/12 10th FG 58% 2 seed Record 57-25 10th points 3rd assists 4th rebounds 13th steals 38th blocks 3 pointers (not top 100) 2nd triple doubles (25) SGA 30/6/5 25th FG 53% 1 seed Record 57-25 3rd points 19th assists 58th rebounds 2nd steals 35th blocks 3 pointers (not top 100) Triple doubles 0 Luka 33/9/9 57th FG 48% 5 seed Record 52-32 1st points 2nd assists 15th rebounds 8th steals 94th blocks 2nd 3 pointers 3rd triple doubles (21) Jokic 1 in all these advanced stats PER rating Win shares Offensive win shares Win shares per 48 minutes Box plus/minus Defensive box plus/minus Offensive box plus/minus Value over replacement player Usage rates 1 Luka 2 Giannis 3 SGA 5 Ant 12 Tatum 17 Jokic
Congrats to one of the greatest players of all time. Plays the game the right way, unbelievable skills and one of the smartest players ever that plays with the humility and class the game deserves. Not like the clowns from the previous generation like LeBum Blames.
I felt Jokic should have been the first guy since Larry Bird to win MVP 3 Times in a row. Because Embiid ALWAYS has a injury or excuse year after year when its time to play Denver. Well 3 out of 4 He's still the man.

There are 2 kinds of MVPs, a regular season MVP and a Play Offs MVP. Jokic now has 4 MVPs. 3 times a "Regular season MVP" and a 1 time "MVP of the Play Offs" which he got in the same year he didn't get a regular season MVP. So he has officially 4 MVPs. Except the 3rd one is for the Play Offs instead of for the regular season which in my opinion is far more valuable then all his regular season MVPs because to be the MVP of the Play Offs gave the Nuggets their 1st ever NBA Championship title. Jokic himself confirmed that he is far more happy with the Championship in 2023 than all his MVP awards, so it´s not my opinion but it´s his own words.
For haters complaining it should have been Shai!! Mmmmmmm .... just look at how Joker 🎉plays. It's backyard Bball but with 100% accuracy. He plays to have fun and doesn't give aF about stats 😒. The stats come to him!! #Jokic#unselfish😮
For those of you who are in here to cry, this is how many first place votes each player got: Jokic - 79 SGA - 15 Luka - 4 Nobody was robbed. Jokic won this thing and it wasn’t close. Regardless of what you think, those are the facts. And regardless of what happens vs Minnesota, this man is the MVP. Nobody cares what you think and it does not matter at all. All that matters is he won MVP. You’ll just have to get over it.
@Milehighmez15 Come on its like lebron again glazing for a centuries its nba the rigged ah league did they watch the Wolves vs nuggets Game jokic have like 16 or 19 Pts Nba its defense is ass today's era And Wolves Are Good in it if they lockdown Jokic he would only average 21 Ppg in the game in this series
@@jordanbenson9094which they ain’t 😂😂 Denver done for. Timberwolves defense sumn else,even if the Lakers did beat the Nuggets,this Timbs team is sumn else.
@91vincelakers your right This today's era is ass if you look at the 1990s and 2000s 2010s stats are diffrent for today thats why the wolves are My Chanpion contenders Because They have a lockdown Defense They Are efficiency And a good chemistry team and its gonna be like Lebron again again glazing for a centuries
@@madespamz Joker should have won last year I don't think anyone, other than many Embiid's teammates and family, disputes that at this point. So this one just 'corrects' that error and gives him the 'gentlemen's threepeat' in my opinion.
@@UN_REAL_POP_SINGER_777 who cares if he wins the MVP if they sh!t the bed in the playoffs.. he shoulda got his 3rd last year so he already had 3 in my eyes. After he got snubbed on getting 3 MVP in a row I stopped caring about him getting more MVPs; I only care about championships and Finals MVP now.
@@nicholaskatsikas4904Nah he had 8 points in game 2, Rudy Gobert wasn't even playing, Jokic had 16 and was getting owned by naz Reid. Quit making excuses 😂
@@madespamz he only had sixteen because they were doubling him every possession and was harder to get one on one matchups and they did that because they have great athletes but also don’t respect Denver’s shot making. That’s not me making an excuse that’s just the reality
And guess what? All the skeptics are actually not that mistaken, we haven´t seen the best by Jokic yet!!! Mark my words. The next 4 to 5 years will be Jokic´s absolute best, just watch it unfold and enjoy. If I say he´ll probably end up with 6 MVPs, don't think I´m too far away of a perfect prediction. 🙃
