Nuggets Knowledge: Numbers Don’t Lie…. Nikola Jokić’s MVP-Worthy Season

  1. It will be fun someday when people ask,Who won the MVP the years Joker didn’t? I can’t remember😏.

  2. Yeah, but the truth is only what the NBA deems it to be. They'll never give Jokic another MVP til he wins more chips, which won't happen coz the Nuggets owners are cheap. This is one of the greatest tragedies in sports.

  3. SGA is a scoring champion but not mvp.

    Jokic can score 50 points per game if he choose to not pass the ball. Just saying

  4. Jokic 29.6/10.2/12.7 FG 57.6%

    3 PPG

    2 APG

    3 RPG

    2 SPG

    3 DFL

    3 screen APG

    He would be 3 for 3P% minus the full or three quarter heaves
    If he played the 4th quarter of the last game he likely would've been 2 RPG. He missed out on that spot by a few rounds, 5 max

    1 Triple doubles with 34, 2 more than 2, 3 and 4 have combined

    He also has 13 near triple doubles where he missed out by a single point or assist

    1 PER

    1 BPM

    1 VORP

    1 OBPM

    1 OWS

    1 On/Off rating

    1 Offensive rating

    1 True shooting percentage out of all the top scorers

    I don't think anyone has ever been top 20 points, assists, rebounds, and steals, let alone whilst also being top 3 in all these other categories and in almost all of the major advanced stats

    Not only is he the 3rd player to average a triple double and the 1st center to do so it's by far the most efficient triple double season ever on FG 57.6% the next highest is FG 47.8 and the next after that FG 44.9% so way way more efficient

    Completely unprecedented

  5. im as rabid a jokic fan as anyone but i think if i was a voter i would give it to sga

    1. the award has historically meant best player on best team, not the literal best player in the league

    2. voter fatigue is real and has good reasons. sga deserves recognition in this era too for what he's done.

  6. it will be amusing if jokic..having the best season ever…doesn't get mvp and then denver goes on to win the championship…again. the dude should be getting his 5th mvp this year.

  7. Jokic is in 50 statistical categories in top 3 in the league, SGA just leading in points and MVP….its ridiculous.

  8. I believe by robbing Jokić of the MVP this year, the league has set a new precedent that players lower than the 1 seed can never win again. This season played should be one of the greatest ever, yet still not good enough for the bias voters and media.

  9. One guy does one thing great, the other guy does multiple things great! …and he's a CENTER!

  10. Jokic has triple double season stats with points, rebounds and assists! (and did more steals than shai)
    And shai… Has a great season no doubt and he just scores a lot.. Wow…

  11. TAKO BELL ADVERTISING 41 PICK of SECOND ROUND NBA DRAFT BECAME THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY, IT IS OVER AMAZING BY ITSELF ???!!!.
    IT WILL HAPPEND MAYBE FOR 200 YEARS AND MAYBE NEVER MORE IN THE NBA FUTURE…

  12. What a farce if Jokic doesn’t win mvp. SGA should be embarrassed if he wins, knowing that Jokic deserves it by a mile.

  13. they had it right 3 out of 4 times for joker they cant rob him now even many of american nba fans and sga fans giving it to joker they know many people will give up watching reg season if jok is robbed

  14. if the “my goat” convo is valid in tennis, baseball, football etc, then Joker is my goat.
