"Stat wise, you know, I think this was the best season of my life," Jokic said after he won. "Kind of the cherry on the top is probably the trophy -- so I think this is the best season of my life."
This season was undoubtedly the best Jokic has had in the league. He led the Nuggets with a 26.4-point average this regular season, who ended their season a 47-25 record (No. 3 seed in the Western Conference). The Serbian is also one of the only five non-Americans to win the award.
“To be honest, I didn’t even think of being in the NBA when I started to play basketball back home,” Jokic said, also becoming the first centre since Shaquille O'Neal (2000) to win the award. He added that they had the Euro League, and the Nuggets gave him an opportunity to play in the NBA – any opportunity he made the best of.
This season, he played all of the 72 games, also scoring 10.8 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game. Jokic's competitors, Steph Curry and Joel Embiid, also had career-best years with their respective teams.
Jokic had 91 out of 101 votes for the first place, while Embiid had five and Curry had one. Curry ended up winning the scoring title. However, the Golden State Warriors were eliminated from the playoffs, while Embiid ended up missing 21 games due to his injury.
