Tim Legler and Jay Williams are reacting to the NBA's Most Valuable Player being voted on. There is a time and a place.
According to sources, the Denver Nuggets center has been voted the NBA's Most Valuable Player for a second consecutive season.
Sources told Wojnarowski that a formal announcement is imminent.
Jokic had career highs in points and rebound this year, as he averaged 27.1 points and 13.8 rebound per game. He averaged 7.9 assists, good for eighth in the league.
Jokic became the first player in NBA history to have 2,000 points, 1,000 rebound and 500 assists in a season.
The Denver center did it all without two of his co-stars as point guard Jamal Murray missed the entire season while recovering from a tornACL, and Michael Porter Jr. was held to just nine games because of a back injury. The Nuggets were able to make the playoffs despite that.
Jokic is the 14th player in NBA history to win the award multiple times and the second straight winner after Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo was a finalist for the award.
