NBA MVP: Nikola Jokic wins third Most Valuable Player award
Denver Nuggets centre Nikola Jokic has joined some of the NBA’s all-time greats by winning the league’s Most Valuable Player award for the third time.
The Serb, who was previously named MVP in 2021 and 2022 and was runner-up last year, is just the ninth man to win the award three or more times.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was named MVP a record six times, Michael Jordan and Bill Russell are five-time winners, while Wilt Chamberlain and LeBron James have claimed the award on four occasions.
Jokic joins Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Moses Malone as three-time winners.
“It’s a special moment I’m probably going to remember my whole life,” Jokic, 29, said. “It’s – I like to say- a legacy for after [your] career.”
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was second in the voting and Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic third.
