The league announced on Wednesday that Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic has won the NBA Kia MVP for the third time in his career.As usual, the Serbian giant has been a key player for Denver on both ends of the floor, alongside his co-star Jamal Murray.NBA critics believe Jokic had a “strong overall campaign and stellar finish” compared to other league MVP candidates such as OKC’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Mavericks’ Luka Doncic, the Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the Celtics’ Jayson Tatum.During the regular season, the now three-time MVP nearly averaged a triple-double, with 26.4 points per game, 9.0 assists per game, and 12.4 rebounds per game in 34.6 minutes per game. He also shot 58.3% from the field, 35.9% from behind the arc, and 81.7% from the free-throw line.

During his MVP season, Jokic achieved numerous milestones and broke several records. He became the second player in NBA history to record multiple triple-doubles while shooting 100% from the field, set the NBA record with seven straight seasons of at least 10 triple-doubles, recorded a triple-double against every team, and scored 30 points or more against every NBA opponent.Jokic joins a small group of NBA legends who have secured three MVPs, including Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Moses Malone. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (six), Michael Jordan (five), Bill Russell (five), LeBron James (four), and Wilt Chamberlain (four) have received more MVP trophies in their careers.

After winning the award, Jokic chatted with the TNT crew and expressed gratitude to his teammates and coaches, as well as commending the other candidates in the MVP race.”I just want to thank my teammates, without them, I am nothing… I cannot be who I am without them. There were a lot of players that deserved it,” said the now three-time MVP.

He also addressed the media at Ball Arena after winning the MVP trophy. When asked if he is getting used to being a regular finalist in the league’s MVP race, he responded, “I can’t control it, I can but I cannot control it, if they put me in that categorization… I’ve been a part of it [MVP race] for three or four years, so now I think I am kind of used to it. So I don’t even pay attention anymore… it’s a good problem to have.” Among the league, the NBA superstar ranks first in total plus-minus, second in total assists, third in rebounds, and fifth in total points. Jokic is currently battling for a second-round playoff victory over a loaded Minnesota Timberwolves team, who currently lead the series 2-0 against Denver. The Nuggets face the T-Wolves for Game 3 on Friday on the road at the Target Center with tipoff at 7:30 p.m.
