Again, again! Nikola Jokic, MVP race overwhelmingly No. 1. Triple Double Season + Court Margin 41. In a nutshell, Crazy Season
Nov 12, 2024

There is a strong negative factor in Jokic's MVP award this season. Ironically, he has already won three MVP awards. MVP needs individual skill, team performance and story.
More stringent standards apply to players who have already won MVP several times. In other words, Jokichi must show an overwhelming stat beyond the previous Jokichi.
However, this season, Jokic is making another strong turnaround. Denver's objective strength is not good. There was no clear power reinforcement. Caldwell-Pope, a 3&D resource, is out.
Jamal Murray is playing up and down. He's the ace on the outside. Under-the-goal partner Aaron Gordon is an injury. Michael Porter Jr., Christian Brown, but Denver's power is not strong in the West.
By the way, he has seven wins and three losses. It's a cruise.
It's because of Jokic's hard carry.
CBS Sports in the U.S. has already won three NBA MVP awards on the 12th (Korea time). At this point, Jokic is most likely to win his fourth MVP this season. The voter fatigue is still there, and the belief that the MVP should come from the best team is also a stumbling block to Jokic's fourth MVP. However, if Denver, which has seven wins and three losses, enters the top six in the West, Jokic's chances of being MVP are very high. The best basketball player on the planet, overwhelmingly.
Jokic recorded his third career 30-15-15 (37 points, 18 rebounds, 15 assists) against Dallas. Only Oscar Robertson has more records.
He is averaging 29.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 11.7 assists this season. I'm having an average 'triple double season'. There has never been a record like this in history.
The media reported 'Yokichi's contribution to the team was simply crazy. In the game against Dallas, Jokic's court margin is +41 points. It's a ridiculous record. It has 38 clutch points. Making a strong difference in the second half. Jokic is dominating the game not only in the average stat but also in the game.
In a word, it's perfect. Until last season, Jokic was considered the most overwhelming player in the NBA. This season is another upgrade. Even with the lack of support from his Denver teammate, Jokic is leading the team to victory.
The media includes players named in the MVP nomination race, such as 'Jason Tatum, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Shy Gilzer Alexander, Stephen Curry, and Anthony Edwards, who have been excellent in early ace roles. Luka Doncic is also sluggish early in the season, but he said he will eventually step into the MVP race and that Jokic's personal data and team performance are overwhelming at this point.
