MVP🐐👑🤫
Imagine if he was black, he'd be already considered goat behind mj and lebron
KD can't win without steph haaaaaa!
Generational talent!
MVP!!!!
No clue why people say Joel is 'better' at scoring. Jokic chooses to elevate his entire team instead of going for individual buckets, that's just the style of basketball he prefers. We all saw what this man can do 'IF' he wanted to score in game 4. It shouldn't even be a discussion, he is just better in every aspect of basketball than Joel. Joel may explode from time to time, but this man does it every game. Sucks he's white and he isn't from the states.
Real mvp
Racist comentator will said.jokic statspadding 😅

A triple double whopper, just after putting up 53 and 11 assists in the last game. That guy is insane.
He's boring to watch, but deceptively strong and technical with the basketball
The real MVP!
If warriors won't win it all, I want the nuggets to be champions
His offensive sense is out of this world.
Lets go for that CHIP BRATE!!!
Jokara brat!!!
B3BMVP!!!
FINALS MVP!!!
And y’all trying to tell me the other person won mvp for playing good in one game and just scored a lot of points while jokic was consistently the favorite throughout majority of the year. I’m hoping for a finals matchup🥱
silky smooth shots by jokic
I dont like denver but i like their players and i hope they win it all this year they deserve it 🏆
The narrative that Jokic isn’t a playoff performer needs to die.
THE REAL MVP!
JOKIC IS THE REAL COMPLETE PLAYER IN THE NBA RIGHT NOW NO DOUBT!
