Nikola Jokic's MASTERPIECE After Receiving His 3rd #KiaMVP Award! #PLAYOFFMODE | May 14, 2024

During this playoff run, Jokic has gone up against 4x All-defensive team Anthony Davis followed by 4x DPOY Rudy Goebert in consecutive series. Despite this, he's averaging 28.8/13/9.5. What Jokic is doing is so much greater than anything Tim Duncan, Shaq, or Hakeem ever did, but he will never fully get the credit because he doesn't look the part.

Christian Braun is also getting more playing time, putting up 10 points in 28 min last night. Back-to-back games in double figures.

The gap between Jokic and the second best player hasn’t been this wide since jordan in his prime. The guy, with no other all star, is dominating a great defensive team

I agree with what you said about Nikola Jokic. He should have won 4 consecutive NBA MVP's. Jokic is putting on a clinic & it's fun to watch!

I have 2 wishes for Christian Braun. First that he enters the NBA Dunk Contest next year before he gets too old. Second and this is far more important is that he becomes a starter within the next 1 or 2 years. He is the Nuggets Best Defensive Player!

I think Braun is better off the bench. He's the perfect sixth man with all that energy he brings.

Last week it looked like sweep time but the Nuggets have won three in a row against a very tough team. The timing of an earlier exit wouldn't have been on the heels of Jokich's MVP. I really hope they can close it out.

Jokich is such an incredible player. There's never been a player like him in the history of the NBA.

The pundits pining for SGA as MVP are being exposed in these playoffs. He's a great player no doubt, but it's clear that Jokic is #1 and Luka is the #2 player in the world.

FIrst off I'm glad Jokic won as he was robbed last year. Jokic had an even better season statistically last year and still lost the MVP Race. NIkola Jokic averaged basically a triple double every night last year. No way that he should have ever lost & it wasn't even close!

As for Doncic here are my thoughts. We were told last year that Joel Embiid won because he led the league in scoring. Yet Doncic does the same thing and finishes a distant 3rd. The bias against white players is just outright disgusting and it stems from racism in my opinion. How can anyone else not see that whites are held down artificially to help enforce the caste system?

He is great off the bench, agreed, but is far too talented not to start. He could easily be a 25/5/5 guy for us.
