The Denver Nuggets notched an enormous road win against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night in a matchup between the two most likely NBA MVP winners. Nikola Jokic got the better of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander—posting a ho-hum 35-point, 18-rebound, eight-assist night at the office—which led to Nuggets coach Michael Malone weighing in the MVP debate between his player and the Thunder star.
"If you didn't know that Nikola won three MVPs and I put Player A and Player B on paper, and you had no idea that the guy that's averaging a triple-double, the guy who's top-three in the three major statistical categories. Things that no one's ever done, he wins the MVP 10 times out of 10," Malone said.
