“Now I don’t think about the awards. But I’ll probably remember them when I’m old, fat and grumpy. And I’ll tell my kids,” said Nikola Jokic.
The 7-foot-11 center, who has averaged 27.1 points per game, 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists for the already-eliminated Nuggets this season, is the second European and 15th player in the NBA history who has won multiple MVP awards.
This feat was most recently achieved by Antetokounmpo, who won the award in 2019 and 2020.

This year, for the first time, the top 3 in the election are not all from the USA. Jokic is Serb, Embiid is from Cameroon, Antetokounmpo from Greece. The best-placed US professional is Devin Booker (216 points) from the Phoenix Suns in fourth place, while Slovenia’s Luka Doncic (146/Dallas Mavericks) was fifth.
