Nikola Jokic has another great NBA season, so the question arises whether he can defend the title of MVP? According to the American media – no!
The Serbian basketball player dominates under the hoops of the NBA league. In the last two matches, he recorded a triple-double.
However, even that was not enough for ESPN to vote for Steph Curry as the first favorite to win the flattering recognition!
The best shooter in the history of the NBA also has a great season, although he has not shot at the expected level in the last couple of matches. Golden State is currently the best team in the entire league, so that certainly had its effect when voting.
What is interesting is that Curry won the vote with an incredible difference, he won 94 out of 100 votes within the ESPN editorial office!
As we explained, the result of the votes is somewhat understandable, considering the season that Kari has, but what is interesting is that Jokic is only in the fourth place in the voting!
In front of him are Durent and Antetonkumpo!
This season, the Serb is recording 26.1 points, 13.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists on average. In addition, he broke Jordan’s PER advanced statistics record of 34.07, and if he continues like this until the end of the season, it will be the highest odds in the history of the NBA!
As it seems, this was enough to get only one vote for the first place from ESPN.
Do you think Jokic is too low on this list?
