NBA Statistics Revealing the Injustice of Dismissing Jokic for MVP

Constant claims from Wembanyama and Doncic, strong statements from Shai, and a deafening silence from Nikola Jokic. The Serbian's low media impact, as well as voter fatigue, may be key factors in distorting the MVP race to absurdity, from which the Denver Nuggets center seems excluded.

It's inconceivable to think that a player averaging more points, rebounds, and assists, as well as better shooting efficiency, is excluded from the NBA public opinion for the MVP race. Reality surpasses fiction, and Nikola Jokic knows it well, as if being a three-time winner of this award prevents him from even being considered this year. While some talk a lot on social media, the Serbian does his talking on the court.

Left is Jokic in his last MVP season. Right is Jokic this season.

He had a slight performance dip during a stretch of the season and missed many games, but since his return, he hasn't missed a single game and is delivering at an astronomical level. Proof of this is his NBA statistics, as well as how he is managing to bring the whole team together and improve the clear quality leap of the Denver Nuggets in this final stretch of the season. Not actively campaigning for the MVP like others shouldn't be a reason to overlook him.
