Jokic is such a workhorse. Does it all season long then kicks it up a gear for the playoffs. What a beast

[toytmakz]

Hard to stop a Center with a Point Guard mentality and skills. Hard to find a Center with these sets of skills. Jokic should be the MVP of this season.

[threenation]

The real MVP with another beautiful performance

[MegamanGaming]

Jokic could win 3 more MVP's and he would STILL be underrated. What a joy to watch play.

[sedlyholmes]

See that Perkins and Embiid? That's what Real MVP's do

Dream game for most players
An off-night for the MVP

I'm not a big fan of the Nuggets or Jokic before, but his performance this season and especially in the playoff so far is like second to none. Pretty much a walking triple-double machine with great efficiency, but what impresses me the most is his humbleness and down to earth personality. He always thanks his teammates for his performance, not trying to act tough or whining about a call on the court. He is the real MVP this season and I really hope he gets his first ring this season.

I grew up a Nuggets fan. I'll never forget texting my dad "we drafted some Serbian guy" in 2014, thinking he'd be one of those prospects we'd never hear about again. Now he's a two time MVP and a goddamn triple double machine. What a delight he is to watch.

[chasenickles]

This dude is a beast he might potentially average a triple double this entire series ....

[FireWeezyMarshall]

Nikola Jokic first player with 4 straight 20-point triple-doubles in NBA postseason history !! 👏🏻👏🏻

[willharden]

Truely a sensational talent the game has never seen before and easily best player in the league struggle in 4 but it didn't matter 23 pts 17 reb 12 ast 9-21 Fg

[NikolaJokicMVP]

It was a though game and we won again! Well done Jamal MURRAY! Let's go Nuggets, bring it in! 💙💛

[djperez]

How this dude didn’t win mvp is beyond me

[JohnyMcNeal]

Plays average and still does a triple double. MVP

[theavengers.]

Another game another win what a performance MVP 💪🏻🔥

[jamo]

i wasn't a big fan of his game before because everything looks awkward. but when you watch him more, you see how casual and simple he makes everything. beautiful passing and effective (if still ugly) scoring. just a genius

[eoneGT]

Jokić and Murray were great. They missed a lot, they made a LOT.
As for mr LeFlop, THANKS. You were the best Nuggets player tonight, man. 👌💪 Keep going!

[johnofmalta]

The real MVP. The people’s MVP. You apologize to that man, Mark Jackson . “Mama there goes that man!” JoM

[khalidmoosa]

Nikola is such a great mind . He conserved his offensive moves and ensured that the rest of the team showed up knowing they are up 1 - 0 . Yet he got a triple double. We are watching greatest moments of NBA history ( of course there are other greats as well) in modern times

[tchilolo]

Wow I think jokic will have the most triple doubles in playoffs
