#8. Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets
There is no player in NBA history who won the MVP who did not make it to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Nikola Jokic has now won it twice. Also, a three-time First Team All-NBA Selection, Jokic has been the top dog in the league over the last 24 months, and while there are no NBA Championships on his resume, you need a lot more than one top player to win it all these days, and Jokic does not have a compliment on the Nuggets. He enters this year as a strong candidate to threepeat as MVP. Pre-2019-20 Rank: #42, Pre-2020-21 Rank: #31, Pre-2021-22 Rank: #13
