Legendary Boston Celtics basketball player Paul Pierce said that Denver’s Nikola Jokic deserves the MVP award more than others.
He stated that by all parameters, Jokic should be the NBA MVP again.
“At least 65 games played and the impact on the game. Statistics, team performance and how the team copes without him on the field. That’s the MVP for me, the most valuable player. The best player is not the same as the one with the most value. Influence, consistency and team success. All these criteria point to the fact that it is the Joker,” said Piers.
In the end, he pointed out that one should also take into account who their teammates are, and that Jokic, unlike Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo, does not have all-star teammates.
