Posted 4 months ago

Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets has just secured his third NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) award, putting him in the elite company of basketball legends. This achievement cements his status as one of the all-time greats in the NBA.

Nikola Jokic, hailing from Serbia, has etched his name in NBA history by capturing his third MVP title. This feat places him among a select group of just nine players to achieve such an honor.

The legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar holds the record with six MVP awards, followed closely by Michael Jordan and Bill Russell with five each.

Wilt Chamberlain and LeBron James have secured the award four times, while Jokic now stands alongside Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Moses Malone as three-time recipients.

Reflecting on his achievement, the 29-year-old Jokic expressed, "It's a special moment I'm probably going to remember my whole life. It's - I like to say - a legacy for after [your] career."

In the MVP voting, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from the Oklahoma City Thunder claimed second place, with Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks securing the third spot.
