The nuggets won 48 games, which was enough for sixth place in the Western Conference. In the playoffs, Jokic and Co. then had no chance against the Golden State Warriors and documents with 1-4, although Jokic with an average of 31 points, 13.2 boards and 5.8 dimes put on great numbers.

Recently there were rumors that Embiid would prevail after the camera was called "Kia MVP" after his comeback in game 3 against Miami on the official NBA page. However, this was probably only an accident, a short time later there was only talk of "MVP finalist".

Regardless of his second MVP Award, Jokic can already sign an early contract extension in the Nuggets this summer. According to the Bobby Marks (ESPN), a five-year contract of $ 254 million would be possible, which would be the largest contract in the NBA history.

Jokic himself already indicated that he had no intentions to leave the nuggets: "If the offer is on the table, I will of course accept it." Big Man has been playing for Denver since 2015 after the Nuggets selected him a year earlier with the 41st pick - a future MVP was never pulled lower.
