00:00Nikoli Jokic is a three-time MVP.

00:10Some believe he should have won two years ago,

00:16and some vehemently believe he should win this year.

00:24Nikoli Jokic's first MVP.

00:30First-ever MVP was the 2020-2021 season.

00:38So some believe that he should have won five consecutive league MVPs.

00:49Now, the first MVP he won probably should have gone to Giannis,

00:53but they didn't want to give Giannis three straight.

00:55But Jokic has had an argument for best in the world for about five years.

01:03In that run, they've won one championship.

01:11Okay, that's fine.

01:14Only made the finals once.

01:16Okay, right.

01:18It's not the end.

01:21Only made the conference finals once.

01:28Okay, now we might have an issue.

01:34Now we might have a problem on our hands.

01:39If you have a five-year run where people believe you should have won MVP

01:45all five seasons and you're not able to get to your conference finals more than one time

01:59because Denver right now is the four.

02:05And if they end up in round number two, if they end up in round number two,

02:15they would meet with Jokic, would be a dog in the series,

02:19and it would be then expected that they will, again, not make the conference finals.

02:24If you go on a five-year run with what people believe should be five straight MVPs,

02:36there is no way you should have one conference finals appearance to show for it.
