Is Jokic the winner of this season s MVP award? Alexander is impeccable, and the success and the defeat of the enemy

Basketball

Let me ask, if Alexander led the Oklahoma City Thunder to only play fifth in the Western Conference in the regular season this season, the record is not convincing.

Even though this Thunder star averaged 32.7 points per game and surpassed the heroes, he deservedly won the honor of scoring this season, but his advantage in the MVP competition is still worrying, right?

In other words, the reason why Alexander beat Jokic this season was that he won his first MVP trophy in his career was nothing more than that he played a gorgeous personal data, and his team's record was even more arrogant in the league. This season, Alexander led the team to 68 wins and 14 losses, and the Nuggets' regular season record was only fixed at 50 wins and 32 losses, ranking fourth in the Western Conference.

Regarding the two leading the team, Alexander has shown his advantages, so how can he rob Jokic's MVP trophy!

And the reason why this statement is so popular is that Jokic once again played a stunning and even soul-stirring season this season, so that the outside world believes that he deserves a MVP trophy.

Jokic's performance this season is indeed worthy of the MVP honor, but after all, MVP is not a question of whether it is worthy or not. Its core essence lies in who is more worthy!

Even though Jokic and Alexander performed evenly this season, even a slight difference, one of them ended up at a disadvantage and missed the MVP award, right?

This is also the cruelty of the MVP battle, especially for the two stars who performed well in a very even manner - the winner laughed out loud and went out, while the loser sighed that we were weeds.

This time, Jokic became the latter, becoming a person who is just a short distance from the regular season MVP but cannot be touched.

Examining Jokic's performance this season is enough to amazed everyone -

How long has it been since we seen a star once again play a triple-double per game?

Since Russell Westbrook achieved such a feat in four seasons, Jokic has once again performed so defiantly this season. In the 2024-25 season, Jokic played a total of 70 games, averaging 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game. After Oscar Robertson (1961-62 season) and Westbrook, he has become the third star in NBA history to average triple-double in a single season.

It is worth mentioning that this season, Jokic averages scores, rebounds and assists per game are among the top three in the league, which is rare.

Reasonablely, it is understandable that Jokic was elected as an MVP in such a performance, but he met Alexander, who was more popular.

Comparing the two MVP votes, Jokic can be said to have lost a lot.

Alexander won 71 first votes, 29 second and third votes, totaling 913 points.

, while Jokic had 29 first votes and 71 second votes, a total of 787 points, which is still far from Alexander.

When Alexander and Jokic won all 100 first and second votes, they knew that this season's MVP battle will naturally revolve around the two of them, right?

Jokic won the MVP trophy three times in the 2020-21 season, 2021-22 season, and a year later, and became the fourth center in history (the top three are Chamberlain, Lord of the Rings Russell and Moses Malone)

, and his historical status is obvious to all.
