Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic secured his third NBA Most Valuable Player award in four seasons, having previously won in 2021 and 2022, and led the Nuggets to their first NBA title.
With impressive stats, including 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 9.0 assists, he outperformed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luka Doncic in the final voting.
Jokic’s achievement of 25 triple-doubles and 68 double-doubles placed him second in the league, solidifying his status as an elite player with three MVP crowns.
As the Nuggets faced the challenge of overcoming the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference semifinals, Jokic’s victory continued the trend of MVP awards going to non-US-born players for the sixth consecutive season.
