On Tuesday night, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was awarded the NBA MVP trophy for his remarkable performance throughout the 2023/24 season. The trophy presentation occurred at Ball Arena just before the start of Game 5 in the second-round matchup between the Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Jokic held the MVP trophy high as his teammates celebrated exuberantly around him. The enthusiastic MVP chants from the crowd reverberated through the arena, making it hard to hear anything else.

Nikola Jokic’s hilarious reaction to dunk on Anthony Edwards in Game 5 sparks laughter

Nikola, three MVPs and a championship in four years. What a run,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said.

“You are the NBA’s KIA MVP. Congratulations.”

Meanwhile, a video that has gone viral on the internet shows what appears to be a press conference where Jokic discusses winning the MVP award.

“You know, I’m grateful to get another MVP, but for me, it’s just basketball,” Jokic is heard saying in the clip.

“I don’t know why other players cry when they get this trophy. What I do is I end up giving it to my horses to play with, that brings joy in my heart.”

Despite these hilarious remarks, it should be noted that the video is not genuine, as it was created using AI technology.

Meanwhile, Jokic scored 40 points and had 13 assists as the Denver Nuggets defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 112-97, moving one win away from the Western Conference finals.

Aaron Gordon added 18 points and 10 rebounds, while Jamal Murray contributed 16 points. The Nuggets effectively shut down Anthony Edwards, who was held to 18 points on 5-of-15 shooting. Karl Anthony-Towns led the Timberwolves with 23 points, and Rudy Gobert scored 18.
