As the start of the NBA playoffs approaches, the talk of who will take home the title of Most Valuable Player is heating up. Nikola Jokic is a two-time MVP a row, and until recently he was well on his way to winning the prestigious award for the third time in a row.
However, the weaker games of the Denver Nuggets and Jokic, as well as the brilliant releases of Joel Embiid, brought a change in the top and the Cameroonian was the first favorite for the MVP award in the previous few rankings.
Be that as it may, in the latest ranking of the NBA League, the Serbian center once again took the leading place on the list.
It is also worth noting that this is the last ranking of this season because the playoffs start already on Saturday.
It remains to be seen how the Cameroonian will react when he sees the new order, and he recently “poked” Jokic during a guest appearance with journalist Rachel Nichols.
NBA standings for the MVP award on April 14:
- Nikola Jokic
- Joel Embiid
