Nikola Jokic did it all again. Jokic, the Denver Nuggets star from Serbia, was announced Wednesday night as the NBA's Most Valuable Player — his third time winning the award in the past four seasons, a feat that just six other players in league history have accomplished. Others averaged more in each category — and Jokic has had better years in each of those categories — but he was the only player to rank in the NBA's top 10 in points, rebounds and assists per game this season. Jokic got 79 of a possible 99 first-place votes from the panel of reporters and broadcasters who cast ballots on awards when the regular season ended.
