Jokić claims third MVP award but misses finals with Nuggets

Nikola Jokić was selected as the Most Valuable Player of the 2023/2024 NBA season. However, his team did not repeat the great success of 2023, so the star has already gone on a well-deserved vacation. He's having a great time.

Let us recall that Nikola Jokić was selected as the Most Valuable Player of the 2023/2024 NBA season.

Jokić already won this prestigious title in 2021 and 2022. In the 2022/2023 campaign, Joel Embiid recently interrupted the Denver Nuggets player's dominance. But now, the Balkan star is back on top.

It's got to start with your teammates, you know. Without them, I cannot do nothing. Coaches, players, organization, medical staff, strength coaches, development coaches. It's all one big circle, but I cannot be whatever I am without them - emphasised Jokić on TNT.

The 29-year-old averaged 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 9.0 assists this season, hitting 58 percent of his shots. He completed 25 triple-doubles. However, this did not allow the Denver Nuggets to advance to the NBA Finals, resulting in the Serb leaving for vacation earlier this year.

Jokić is in Serbia, relaxing with close friends and childhood buddies. On social media, he showcased a sample of his dancing skills. It must be admitted that he has a great sense of humour.

Before Jokić became a big star in the best league in the world, nothing indicated that he would reach this level. Especially in his childhood, when he was a boy with a round face, basketball was just a hobby for him. His ambition, however, took him to the very top.
