Jokic played in 79 games in the regular season this season, averaging 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game while shooting 58.3 percent from the field, leading the team to a 57-25 record, second in the West, and winning his third career MVP trophy. O'Neill once said, "You know I love you. You're the best player in the league. I want to congratulate you. But I want you to listen to me first, I think Alexander should be the MVP, it's not disrespectful to you. ”

O'Neal's remarks naturally caused a lot of controversy, with some saying that O'Neal didn't understand the ball, and others saying that O'Neal was jealous of Jokic. In this regard, O'Neal gave an explanation: "Some people say I'm jealous of Jokic, I'm not jealous of anyone, I just said my personal opinion, I think Alexander should win the MVP. Sometimes they just want clicks, so they say I'm a sunspot, and I said at the beginning that Jokic is the best big guy, but people just don't want to hear that, they say I don't like Dwight, they say I don't like Jokic.

O'Neill then continued: "I'm just saying my point of view, I'm going to stick to my point of view, I don't care. Jokic is the best big man in the league right now, I haven't said anything bad about him, I'm at the top of the big man league as well, unless someone gets four rings as well, that's where I am. ”

It's worth mentioning that when O'Neal said Alexander was more worthy of MVP, Jokic and the Nuggets trailed the Timberwolves 0-2. After O'Neal said this, Jokic went 3-0, and the Nuggets led the Timberwolves 3-2; In three games, Jokic averaged 33 points, 9.3 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks per game while shooting 61 percent from the field.
