Nikola Jokic has had a spectacular season with the Denver Nuggets this year, carrying an immense offensive load for the team with key players out. Currently, Nikola Jokic is putting up 27.1 PPG, 13.8 RPG, and 7.9 APG.

Throughout his career, Nikola Jokic has already achieved many statistical feats, and during the game against the Memphis Grizzlies, he achieved something that has never been done in NBA history. Nikola Jokic is officially the only player that’s put up 2000 points, 1000 rebounds, and 500 assists in a season.

Many already view Nikola Jokic as the best passing big man of all time. There’s no doubt that Nikola Jokic is a special talent that can elevate his teammates offensively by getting them open looks.

There are many who believe that Nikola Jokic should be the MVP of this season. Among those people is Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, who claimed that Nikola Jokic has been the most impactful player for his team.

You look at the impact. The name of the award is “The Most Valuable Player”. Who has been the most valuable for the team?

I think “valuable”, I would vote for Jokic. He was the most impactful for his team. Those guys all had amazing years. Giannis, Joel, a lot of other guys. 

There is no doubt that Nikola Jokic deserves the MVP award, but the race is tight, with players like Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo also being mentioned in those conversations. It remains to be seen who the voters end up giving the award to.

Nikola Jokic’s main priority will likely be to make a deep playoff run with his team this season. He has simply been on another level this year, and hopefully, he is able to continue this fantastic level of play in the postseason.
