A riddle for you: If Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić is enjoying the greatest statistical regular season in NBA history, and yet Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the massive betting favorite for MVP, according to BetMGM, would that make the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard's award campaign the most impressive ever?

If Jokić were to win, he would become the sixth player in NBA history with at least four MVP awards. The current group includes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (six), Michael Jordan (five), Bill Russell (five), LeBron James (four) and Wilt Chamberlain (four).

Last season, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander came close to winning the coveted NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) award, but he was surpassed by Nikola Jokić. According to reporter Sam Amick from The Athletic, the Oklahoma City Thunder star was “disappointed” by not securing the honor.
