Monster game for the MVP. He's right back at the top of the MVP chase again. But the Nuggs must improve their record for the repeat to happen.

I'm so happy to live in the Jokic era of the NBA. I've only ever driven through Denver (and flown over I suppose) but I don't need a reason to enjoy this type of ball

He's the MVP of the Western conference for sure. His supporting cast with no MPJ or Murray is way worse than LeBron's supporting cast in LA and he's still got his team having the better record.

There is no reason for him not to be this aggressive on the offensive end every night.

Man what a carry job. He had to do everything for them it seemed like!
Impressive performance even for a reigning MVP.

He did just beat a team without its own two best players playing, but yeah, he is at worst top 3 with Giannis and KD.

It sucks he was 1 point a way from a 50 point triple double. How many players have a 50 point triple double?

Yeah he was definitely engaged.

I think he was pissed at Zubac a bit. Also, I think he got tired of being targeted on pick and roll defense by the Clips.

Hell of a game. Fun game to watch. Clips match up well with DEN.

No. Jokic is really good but he let Zubac go off for like 32/34 points or so.

He’s a top 5 player but Giannis, Durant, LeBron (when he wants), Curry aren’t as much of a liability on defense.

His moves were fast tonight , thats how he has to be , decisive, he waits for double teams too much and his teammates are not hitting shots this season , so he has to move fast and look to score too , every night .

Absolutely insane final three minutes + OT. I feel like I'm watching prime Shaq. You just can't stop him. He's either scoring or Denver is getting an open shot because of his passing.

This. This Nuggets team cannot afford for him to take 15 shots a game.

Appreciate the best big since Shaq.
Don't hate, be grateful.
Imagine his prime.
The most dominant and consistent big(no, i don't consider Giannis a big).

Yeah well Embiid ordered a triple double today from Wendys and it was tastier than Jokics.

he literally carried the team They need another defender other than aaron gordon who is useless on that end.

Jokic is definitely my favorite superstar to watch. Just has amazing court vision to go along with being incredibly clutch, and if that isn't enough he's also extremely humble and unassuming. What also impresses me is his insane cardio; he never seems to get tired despite looking like he hasn't been in a gym in years. A truly unique superstar, he just has this goofy, no-nonsense vibe about him while remaining a killer.

It's also great to see two centers just obliterating teams nightly. You really can't go wrong between Jokic or Embiid, I personally just prefer Jokic for the reasons stated above.

Carried them on offense. His defense is far from being MVP level. Just like what they say about Rudy I don’t trust his defense if he want to call him #1.

he and embiid with insane performances tonight

How many points did Mo Babmba scored tonight Many of Zubac points came off the pick and roll where Jokic wasn't even defending Zubac or he was posting up Green, which I don't have idea why did Malone run that mismatch and some off of offensive boards, Jokic defense wasn't good tonight, but he also had to spent himself carrying the offense, somethings got to give. This Denver roster is very limited.

Jokic saw Embiids stats and said "Hold my rakija"

*Rakija is supposedly the most popular alcohol in Serbia.
