“Jokic is one,” Reaves said of a player that impresses him. “He’s just so unfazed with everything you do. You can throw a million different coverages at him. His best thing about him is he’s so unselfish. He don’t care.”…
…“I personally thought he should’ve,” Reaves said when asked about if Jokic should have won the league’s MVP award last season…
…“The way that he plays is so unique for a big man,” Reaves said. “But obviously, Joel’s really good and dominates the game in just a different facet. It’s just Jokic – I think we were going back to the MVP – I think it was just voter’s fatigue.”
The narrative on MVP has done a complete change. Now, everyone is coming out in support of Nikola Jokic. It is important to keep in mind that the MVP award is a regular season award so those changing their tune after the playoffs don’t understand what the award is.
