On May 9, Beijing time, ESPN reported that Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was selected as the NBA's Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive season, and an official statement is expected this week.
Jokic's move would also set a record for the 13th man in NBA history, and he was the 13th player to complete the MVP of Lianzhuang.
Jokic led the Nuggets to a sixth-place record of 48 wins and 34 losses in the West after losing Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. this season, Jokic himself averaged 27.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.45 steals and 0.89 blocks per game, shooting 58.6%, and his personal statistics are nearly perfect.
Major media outlets across the country began celebrating Nikola Jokic. He was also the league's MVP last season, averaging 26.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.32 steals, 0.67 blocks per game in the regular season, shooting 57 percent from the field, and jokic's stats this season are a step further.
However, Jokic was also criticized, last season he played the second round and was out of the first round of this season, and was almost swept by the Warriors, and eventually made it 1-4. The Lianzhuang MVP who was eliminated in the first round of 5 games is also a humiliating record.
However, Jokic as an international player can be recognized by many NBA media experts is still worth celebrating, after all, Jokic is a second-round show, he entered the NBA with the 41st pick in the second round in 2014, and it is really not easy for a second-round show to be able to connect with the MVP, which is a second-round counterattack legend.
Perkins was upset with Embiid, saying: "No matter how I see Embiid is MVP, I am very fortunate to vote for Embiid." Unfortunately, in the end, the ownership of the MVP is still about the teacher.
