Nikola Jokic MVP | Why nobody can stop Jokic | Denver Nuggets | Jokic 41st pick Taco Bell commercial | Jokic vs Anthony Edwards | Jokic vs Joel Embiid MVP debate | Jokic vs Shai Gilgeous-Alexander | Alex Caruso guarding Jokic | Rudy Gobert vs Jokic | Nuggets 2023 championship | Jamal Murray | NBA story
Every coach in the NBA has a plan for Nikola Jokic, and every one of them ends the same way: two defenders on him and someone else wide open. Forty names were called before his on draft night 2014, and the NBA aired a Taco Bell commercial while Denver picked him. Since then he has won three MVPs, a championship and a unanimous Finals MVP, and built a scouting report every team can recite but nobody can execute.
In this story we break down why Jokic is the MVP nobody can stop: Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic on facing him, Tyronn Lue's Clippers game plan, the Nurkic decision that changed Denver, the bubble comeback against Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, Jamal Murray's ACL injury, the Embiid MVP debate, the 2023 title run, and how Oklahoma City and Alex Caruso came closest to solving him.
