The league leader in triple-doubles (29), who perched his team atop the Western Conference for a season-best 105 days, Jokic became Denver’s all-time single-season leader in field goal percentage (63.2%), effective field goal percentage (66%) and true shooting (70.1%) this season, while topping the leaderboard in a plethora of advanced metrics too. Jokic certainly made that clear on the floor during the regular season, as the five-time NBA All-Star followed up back-to-back historic MVP campaigns with yet another gem in finishing as the only player to ever average at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists on at least 60% shooting over a single season.

Should he garner enough votes to win the Kia MVP this season, Nikola Jokic would join elite company as a 3-time winner.
