Needless to say, Jokic made a strong case for becoming MVP in the regular season itself. While playoff performances won't factor into the discussion for the regular season MVP award, "Joker" certainly displayed why he was crowned back-to-back MVP.


Can Nikola Jokic win the MVP three times in a row?

Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic stands at the summit as the reigning MVP. While considering that he has successfully defended the title once, Jokic stands a chance to do it again. However, the competition is stiff.

Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid has made a strong case for being named the MVP this season. As the league's leading scorer, Embiid has dominated in every manner.

To add to this, however, he has also been a valuable asset as a rim protector on the defensive side of things. This has been of great help to Philadelphia as they ended the regular season as the third-seed in the East.

On the other hand, Jokic has continued his impressive form, leading the Nuggets to the top seed in the Western Conference. With an average of 24.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game, Jokic was close to averaging a triple-double for the season.

Both players have made a solid case for winning the award. With a heated battle all the way through the regular season, it will be interesting to see whether Jokic can make history by winning it again.
