Former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce has shown his support for Nikola Jokic as the deserving MVP of this season.
Pierce praised Jokic’s consistent dominance on the court and the Denver Nuggets’ strong standing in the league.
He also mentioned other potential MVP candidates like Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic, Anthony Edwards, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Despite the tough competition, Pierce believes Jokic’s exceptional performance sets him apart as the frontrunner for the award.
Kevin Garnett emphasized that the MVP should go to the best player in the league, a sentiment Pierce echoed by highlighting Doncic’s impressive stats.
Doncic’s impressive statistics make him a strong contender for the MVP title, with stellar averages across the board.
However, Jokic’s impact on both offense and defense cannot be denied, solidifying his position as a top MVP candidate with outstanding numbers for the Nuggets.
