Jokic was named NBA regular season MVP for the second consecutive season, according to Washin reports. Many people feel that Jokic's MVP has moisture, but in fact, compared with other competitors this season, Jokic's performance is still obvious.
In the regular season, Jokic averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, shooting 58.3% from the field, and 6 basic statistics are the first in the team, which is not counting some high-level data. It also put him ahead of Westbrook in 2016-17. At the time, Westbrook won the regular season MVP with the Thunder, and his scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and three-point five statistics were the first in the team that season. It is worth mentioning that Westbrook averaged a triple-double per game that season.
This aspect reflects jokic's limited ability of teammates, especially in the case of potter and Murray injuries, Jokic can only do a big package.
On the other hand, this also reflects how comprehensive Jokic is, as a top center, it is not too strange to rank first in the team in terms of scoring, rebounding, blocking and shooting rate, but assists, steals, especially assists can also rank first in the team, and it is also in the case of attack and defense to grasp such a performance, the athletic ability is not outstanding Jokic will also reflect his mind, technical excellence to the fullest.
Some fans have questioned that the Nuggets are only 6th in the West in the regular season, but the ranking does not say anything, after all, the Competition in the West has been much fiercer than in the East over the years. In the regular season, the Nuggets recorded 48 wins and 34 losses, while the Bucks, whose MVP is also very vocal, are 51 wins and 31 losses, and Embiid's Philadelphia is also 51 wins and 31 losses, and their team's performance is not much better than the Nuggets. Considering that the West is more competitive, the Nuggets' performance is not inferior to that of the Bucks and Philadelphia.
In this way, combined with personal performance and team performance, Jokic has won the regular season MVP in a row, and there is not so much unreasonableness. Of course, it needs to be admitted that this season's regular season MVP really does not have a particularly ideal candidate, can combine top personal data and outstanding team results, but among the few options, Jokic is indeed the best one, after all, the Nuggets have been seriously plagued by injuries this season, and Jokic has borne far more load and pressure than other opponents, but he has obviously done a good job.
For the Nuggets, Jokic has also become irreplaceable this season. This season, when he's on the floor, the Nuggets have a total of 444 points over their opponents. Conversely, the Nuggets lost 255 points to their opponents. That is to say, with or without Jokic, the Nuggets have a total gap of 699 points, which once again reflects the importance of Jokic.
