Nuggets' Jokic named NBA MVP
DENVER — Nikola Jokic was selected with the 41st draft pick when he entered the NBA seven years ago.
Now, by overwhelming consensus, he’s No. 1.
The Nuggets’ big man was revealed Tuesday as the NBA’s Most Valuable Player for 2020-21, making him by far the lowest draft pick ever to win the award.
Jokic was the runaway winner, getting 91 of the 101 first-place ballots cast.
