Denver Nuggets: Top 10 moments of the 2018-19 NBA season
By Jared Hayden
8. MVP chants erupt for the Joker
In a February primetime game with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Jokic put on a show with a 36-10-9 stat line en route to a sweet regular season sweep against their Northwest Division rivals.
In one of his more aggressive games on the offensive side of the ball, Jokic would hit four of seven 3-pointers and 10 of his 13 free throws, including a 5-for-6 down the stretch to unleash the MVP chants in the Mile High City.

When asked about the MVP chants postgame, Jokic brushed them off, deferring the MVP to “someone else” and stating that he is just trying to play good team basketball. The comments were just another example of just how unselfish Jokic is.
Seriously, how can you not love this guy?
