The Denver Nuggets won the NBA Championship in 2022-23 thanks to Nikola Jokic’s postseason leadership.

If winning an NBA Championship is challenging, winning back-to-back championships is considerably more difficult for any NBA organization.

The Nuggets, on the other hand, are playing with a chip on their shoulder in the 2023-24 NBA season, as they are 9-2 through 11 games.

As expected, Jokic is at the heart of the Nuggets’ amazing performance.

So much so that, according to an NBA on ESPN tweet, Jokic is currently ranked in the top ten in four major offensive stats.

Jokic was averaging 29.8 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game while shooting 60.6% from the field at the time of the tweet.

He finished sixth in points, first in rebounds, fifth in assists, and seventh in field goal percentage.

Keeping everything in mind, if Jokic can maintain his current level of performance, he might win his third MVP award of his career when all is said and done.

Even if he does not earn the regular-season MVP award, Jokic will want to lead the Nuggets to another championship.

To be honest, that doesn’t appear to be a pipe dream for the Nuggets.

If the Nuggets win two consecutive championships, they will be only the 13th team in NBA history to do so.

What is Jokic’s and the Nuggets’ ceiling in the 2023-24 NBA season?

They now appear to be the favorites to represent the Western Conference in the 2024 NBA Finals.
