Nikola Jokic was named NBA MVP for the third time in his career in 2023-24. Jokic led the Denver Nuggets to a 57-25 record, which tied them with the Oklahoma City Thunder for second place in the Western Conference. However, some supporters are dissatisfied with the center getting his third award in four years.

Jokic enjoyed a productive and consistent season with the Nuggets. He averaged 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, and nine assists this season. He accomplished all of this while shooting 58.3% from the field and 35.9% from deep. The center also appeared in 79 games this season.

His excellent performance continued until the first round of the playoffs when he had 28.2 points, 16.2 rebounds, and 9.8 assists. Although his efficiency from deep dropped to 33.3%, his total shot selection was remarkable, with 59.1% of his shots from the field.

“Luka robbed of another insane season,” one fan wrote.

“Prob one of the worst MVP awards given out,” said another fan, who was unimpressed with the winner.”SGA clears this fraud,” this fan believed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should have won.

However, some argue that Jokic deserved to receive the award.

“He should’ve gotten 4 in a row,” a supporter added.

“Damn Jokic is really higher than KD all time before his 30th birthday,” said this admirer, struck by a revelation of greatness.”Should have won last year too,” says another fan who can’t get over Jokic’s loss last season.

As Nikola Jokic received his third MVP award, supporters, including Shaquille O’Neal, felt that someone else deserved to win.

O’Neal believes that OKC’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander deserved the honor. He claimed that the Thunder had a better record and SGA had higher stats, which should have been enough to earn him the award. Shaq then stressed that he meant no disrespect to Jokic, who is the best big man, according to the legend.

SGA made his second consecutive All-Star appearance this season. He averaged 30.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 6.2 assists for the Thunder. This year, the young guard appeared in 51 games and scored at least 30 points in each. Furthermore, he led his side to the best record in the Western Conference, securing first place.

Thanks to SGA, the Thunder have emerged as one of the league’s hottest teams.
