NBA.com reports.Jokić is also the first Denver Nugget to win the Most Valuable Player award. Being names the 2021 MVP is something that Jokić is very proud of, but knowing the kind of person and player he is Jokić will not be satisfied until he can take his team as far into the playoffs as possible as the Nuggets are serious candidates for the Western Conference Finals if they can get past Devin Booker and the Suns first.According to Bleacher Report, “Jokic’s critics will likely point to his defense as the biggest reason why he shouldn’t have been crowned MVP.

He finished with a real defensive plus-minus of plus-1.96, 14th among centers and he allowed opposing shooters to hit 51.8 percent of their field-goal attempts”.
