Nikola Jokic has already been robbed of an NBA MVP 2 years ago. He really needs to win this year to help make up for that. Jokic would
tie Lebron James and Wilt Chamberlain if he wins his 4th. The All Time Record is 5 NBA MVP Awards by Jordan and Abdul Jabbar.

This is more a reflection of the eras than anything else. In 1998, Jordan's 28.7 ppg was the highest in the league and the Bulls were 69-13. I'm sure you could build a similar image to imply that Russell Westbrook's MVP season was better than any of Bird's in the 80s.

SGA will win the award for the reasons I mentioned earlier, but Jokic is clearly the best player in the league. In all fairness, both Jordan and Lebron have been victims of "voter fatigue" in the past - see Derrick Rose's 2011 MVP and Karl Malone's 1997 MVP.

Jokic is injured and will give the talking heads more reason to talk up SGA the MVP. I read an article that his elbow was very discolored and he had a bad ankle too.
Nikola Jokic injury Update: It's not looking good
When the Denver Nuggets hit the hardwood on Friday night in Portland, they'll be without three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic again

NIkola Jokic is only the 3rd player in NBA History to average a Triple Double for the whole season! What an incredible basketball player!

Jokic third ever to average triple-double in season
Nikola Jokic will average a triple-double for the season, joining Russell Westbrook and Oscar Robertson as the only players in NBA history to achieve that feat.
