Nikola Jokic, the superstar of the Denver Nuggets, weighed in on the MVP race conversation, which has been particularly heated this year with multiple players showcasing dominant performances.

The Serbian wizard aired his grievances about the conversation regarding the race, calling attention to its exhausting nature.

"I think the whole MVP conversation is getting out of control," said Jokic after a 116-107 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. "I think I'm playing good basketball...I think a couple guys deserve to have the award," he concluded.

In the win, Jokic had an amazing game with 41 points (16/20 FG), 11 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals.

At the moment, Jokic is ranked number 1 in the Kia Race to the MVP Ladder, which was last updated on April 5. He has been stellar this season, averaging 26.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 9 assists.

If Jokic is to win the MVP award this year, it will be the third time that he has received the accolade (he won it before in 2021 and 2022). The Serbian center also won the Finals MVP award last season, alongside an NBA championship.
