Nuggets core Jokic is known to have been elected NBA regular season MVP for the second consecutive season, but with the Nuggets eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, it also means that the NBA regular season MVP once again missed the championship.
In NBA history, there are not many players who have won regular season MVP and championships in a single season. In the last nine years, only Curry has done it, and that was the 2014-15 season, when Curry and the Warriors defeated james's Cavaliers in the Finals.
From the beginning of the 2013-14 season to this season, the players who won the regular season MVP were Durant, Curry, Curry, Westbrook, Harden, Alphabet Brother, Alphabet Brother, Jokic and Jokic. Among them, only Curry achieved a single-season regular season MVP and championship double.
Further ahead, the regular season MVP and overall championship in a single season were James in 2011-12 and James in 2012-13. At the time, James was still playing for the Heat.
In recent years, except for Curry, no one has achieved a single-season regular season MVP and a championship double. Jokic's early withdrawal from the championship race this time has once again linked the regular season MVP and the no crown.
As for this season's championship, there is no particularly clear attribution from the current point of view. With the suns, mavericks, warriors, and Grizzlies, and philadelphia, Heat, Bucks and Celtics in the East, none of the most dominant teams remaining, and the final situation may be as unpredictable as last season.
