Nikola Jokić nickname “MV3”
During the trophy ceremony, the Nuggets came up with a clever new nickname for Jokic is “MV3”
“MV3” is a great way to describe Nikola Jokić’s achievement! He’s the first player in the NBA to win the MVP award three times in a row since Wilt Chamberlain, and he’s the only center to achieve that feat. His dominance, his leadership, and his incredible talent have cemented his place among the game’s greats.
This alias has caught the attention of many, with users sharing about it extensively on various social media platforms.
