According to ESPN star Wanaroski, Nuggets Jokic was elected regular season MVP this season, the second consecutive year he has been elected MVP.
Jokic is the fifth center in NBA history to win multiple MVP, followed by Russell, Chamberlain, Abbay and Moses Malone, and Jokic is the 13th player to win the MVP, with only James, Curry and Alphabet brothers doing it.
This season, Jokic averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, shooting 58% from the field, which is an all-round improvement compared to the last season when he was elected MVP, and these basic statistics can rank first in the Nuggets' team.
In addition, when Jokic was on the floor, the Nuggets scored 444 points, and when Jokic went off, the Nuggets lost 255 points. Because Murray was reimbursed for the entire season, Porter Jr. also had surgery after a short appearance, and the Nuggets were led by Jokic alone throughout the season. In the words of head coach Michael Malone, this team can hardly be called competitive if it takes out Jokic.
The 27-year-old Jokic not only played gorgeous statistics, but his dominance at both ends of the attack and defense has also been more reflected, especially the performance on the defensive end is eye-catching. This summer, Jokic qualifies for the biggest contract in history for 5 years, $260 million, and for the Nuggets, giving Jokic a super salary is something that doesn't need to be considered, because no matter how much money is given to him, it is less than his actual impact on the game, Jokic is the most valuable player of the year, he deserves it.
