The NBA MVP trophy ceremony is known, and the top favorite to win the most prestigious individual award is Nikola Jokic.
It seems that for the third time in his career, the Sombor native will be the most valuable player of the most top-quality league in the world. The winner will be announced on the night between Wednesday and Thursday, specifically at 1:30 Central European Time.
Alongside the Denver Nuggets center, his competitors for this award also include Luka Doncic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
If he wins the “Michael Jordan” trophy again, Nikola Jokic would only be the third player in NBA history to win this prestigious award three or more times. In that company are:
Moses Malone, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Before that, he will play the second game of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves on the night between Monday and Tuesday (4:00). The Wolves lead the series 1:0.
