Nikola Jokic has been named MVP of the 2021-22 NBA season, beating out finalists Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Jokic was certainly a worthy MVP winner, earning the honor for the second consecutive season by averaging 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists to lead the Nuggets to a 48-34 record despite the season-long absences of Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr.
