Only three have won three consecutive MVP awards in NBA history: Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Larry Bird. Will Denver’s Nikola Jokic win this third consecutive this season? Seems unlikely, JeffZillgitt writes.
The one thing the NBA could have is a third consecutive international player win the award with possibly Joel Embiid or Luka Doncic winning it following Antetokounmpo and Jokic.Last season, Jokic needed a better season than he had in 2020-21 to get his second MVP award, and he did just that, averaging 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.5 steals and shooting 58.3% from the field and 33.7% on 3-pointers.
3% on 3s during the regular season, making first-team All-NBA for the first time. Now the Celtics start the season under the cloud of the Ime Udoka situation, but Tatum should be able to excel again.Last season, Booker finished fourth in MVP voting after he averaged 26.8 points, 5 rebounds and 4.8 assists and shot 46.6% from the field and 38.3% on 3-pointers.
