Oklahoma City guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was second and Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic was third. “It’s got to start with your teammates, you know,” Jokic said on TNT. “Without them, I cannot do nothing. Coaches, players, organization, medical staff, strength coaches, development coaches. It’s all one big circle, but I cannot be whatever I am without them.”

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar holds the record of six MVP awards. Michael Jordan and Bill Russell won it five times, while Wilt Chamberlain and LeBron James each won four.Though Jokic won the award comfortably, he wasn’t offended during the TNT interview when it was suggested that Gilgeous-Alexander might have been a more worthy winner.
