Nikola Jokic keeps out-doing himself. The 2025 NBA MVP race is officially heating up, and there’s one thing we know for sure: Nikola Jokic doesn’t really care about the award. Jokic already has three MVPs on his mantle, and could join an exclusive club with only Kareem, MJ, LeBron, Wilt, and Russell if he can outlast Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Giannis Antetokounmpo to win his fourth.
