[Saba Sports News] In today’s era of player empowerment, stars rarely maintain consistent performance for weeks on end, but Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic bucks the trend. Coach Michael Malone recently highlighted Jokic’s remarkable consistency by contrasting it with the media’s performance.
Jokic’s latest impressive performance came against the Mavericks, where he recorded 33 points, 14 rebounds, and 9 assists in an 11-point win. However, such excellence has become routine for him, with season averages of 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists.
While it’s too early for MVP discussions this season, Jokic is off to an impressive start, maintaining the form that nearly earned him the award last year. If he can continue at this pace and lead the Nuggets to success, he could become a 3-time MVP winner, joining the ranks of legends like Moses Malone, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson. At just 28 years old, Jokic still has a promising future ahead.
