    What's the story

    Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokić cemented his legacy in the 2023-24 season, delivering one of the most remarkable campaigns in NBA history.

    The second-round pick from Sombor, Serbia, won his third MVP award in four seasons and became just the ninth player in NBA history to achieve this feat.

    Here's a look at the highlights and stats that defined his historic MVP-winning season.

    Jokić has delivered consistently exceptional performances throughout his career.

    His stats showcase impressive averages, including 21.1 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game.

    In the playoffs, he's been just as dominant, with averages of 27.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 7.5 assists.

    In the 2023-24 season, he had averages of 26.4 points, 12.4 assists, and 9.0 rebounds per game, with 35.9% three-point accuracy.

    He became just the third reigning Finals MVP to open a season with a triple-double.
