Nuggets' Nikola Jokić Named NBA's 2023–2024 Most Valuable Player!

For the third time, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić has been named the 2023–2024 Kia NBA Most Valuable Player! Jokić received the Michael Jordan Trophy for the 2023–24 season, having previously won it in the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons.

Jokić is the ninth player to win three or more MVPs—Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (six), Michael Jordan (five), Bill Russell (five), Wilt Chamberlain (four), LeBron James (four), Larry Bird (three), Magic Johnson (three) and Moses Malone (three).

In this year's regular season, Jokić ranked 10th in points, fourth in rebounds, and third in assists per game. Plus, he became the second player in the history of the NBA to have at least 2,000 points, 900 rebounds, and 700 assists in a season, joining Oscar Robertson (1961–62).

Congrats, Joker!
