What was known, yet unconfirmed, became official Wednesday evening: Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was named NBA MVP for the second consecutive season, becoming just the 13th player in league history to win it in back-to-back seasons.
Never one to be impressed with his accomplishments, Jokic said it would take time before his perspective on his place in history settled.
“Now, I don’t think about (the awards), but probably when I’m old, fat and grumpy, I’m gonna remember, and I’m gonna tell my kids,” he told TNT via video chat from a horse stable.
