Is there any lack of value? Every MVP record is not the best in the league, Jokic s history is the only one

Last season's regular season, Jokic still performed very well, and he averaged a triple-double for the first time in his career, becoming the third player to achieve this feat after Robertson and Westbrook. In addition, Jokic averaged nearly 30 points per game, almost achieving a 30+ triple-double average.

It is precisely because of his outstanding personal performance that Jokic is also a candidate for MVP. Unfortunately, because his team's record is not as good as Alexander, Jokic failed to get another MVP. Although the Nuggets also won 50 wins last season and tied with the Lakers and the Clippers, they almost failed to avoid the play-offs and won 18 games less than the Thunder, so there is a reason why they failed to get the MVP.

Although he missed the MVP last season, Jokic has also won as many as 3 MVPs in the past five years, becoming the ninth player in history to do this. Among the active players, only James has more MVP than Jokic, and no other players can compare. There are only three historical superstars at the current service, including James, Curry and Durant, and their historical status is above Jokic.

It is worth mentioning that although Jokic has won 3 MVPs, every time he gets MVP, his record is not the best in the entire league, and sometimes his record is not even ideal. It will also be the first time I won the MVP in 2021, and the record is not very good, with only 47 wins and 25 losses, ranking third in the West and fifth in the league. However, because Jokic's personal performance is very outstanding and the Nuggets' record is not bad, he defeated other MVP candidates.

In 2022, Jokic successfully won the MVP, but his team record was even more average. He only won one more game when he played 10 more games in the regular season than last season, winning only 48 wins. In terms of winning rate, it has dropped by several percentage points. The Nuggets are only ranked sixth in the West and tied for the top ten in the league, and almost played the playoffs. Jokic won the MVP with such a leading record, which has also caused considerable controversy. After all, the selection of MVP still attaches great importance to the record.

In 2023, Jokic led the Nuggets to 53 wins, ranking first in the West, but lost to Embiid and failed to win the MVP again. In 2024, Jokic led the Nuggets to win 57 times, tied for first place with the Thunder, and defeated Alexander to win the third MVP. However, since the Celtics won 64 wins this year, the Nuggets' record is not the best in the league.

Jokic has won 3 MVPs so far in his career, but he has not led the team to achieve the best record in the league in every MVP season. He is also the only player who has won MVPs many times in history. In contrast, James won four MVPs in his career, including three seasons leading the team to the league's first record, and also led the Cavaliers to the best record of 66 wins in the 2008-09 season.

Of course, this does not mean that Jokic's MVP is insufficient, because the MVP does not only look at the team's record or personal performance, but also combines the two. Jokic may not be the best in leading the team, but his personal performance is unspeakable. Moreover, Murray and Porter Jr. were both injured at that time, so the Nuggets still have such a record, which just shows that Jokic is very capable of leading the team and deserves the MVP.
