Over two games in 78 minutes, Nikola Jokic accrued 78 points, 27 rebounds, 24 assists, five blocks and three steals. “That’s the MVP,” Nuggets veteran Jeff Green said. “… This is normal for him now.”
“Listen, all the people that say he’s not a great athlete, just go back and watch the four OT game in Portland,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. “How many guys can do that? Just because a guy can touch the top of a backboard doesn’t mean he’s a great athlete. He can jump high, but Nikola’s conditioning … he loves horses. He’s like Secretariat. He can just run all day.
“It doesn’t get talked about enough because he’s not the prolific athlete that a lot of these guys are,” Malone said. “He played in all 72 games last year, played at an MVP level. For him to do what he’s doing this year, once again, and he won it last year, and all the numbers and stats and metrics you come up with, he’s having a better season than he had last year when he won it. Our team, with a lot of guys out, is playing at one of the highest levels in the NBA. Come on, man.
Malone’s mic-drop moment ended the entertaining news conference and concluded the latest stump speech for Jokic’s second MVP campaign. The funniest part, though, is that Jokic remained indifferent to what another award would mean to him. “I don’t know,” he said. “It doesn’t mean anything special. I’m just trying to compete, to win games.”
