In the playoffs, Nikola Jokic led the Denver Nuggets to victory and the NBA title for 2022–23.

It’s hard enough for an NBA team to win one championship; it’s even harder for them to win two in a row.

But the Nuggets are playing with a chip on their back this NBA season. They have won 9 of their first 11 games and tied 2 of them.

This was to be expected: Jokic is at the heart of the Nuggets’ amazing play.

So much so that an NBA on ESPN tweet says Jokic is in the top 10 in four important scoring stats right now.

At the time of the tweet, Jokic was shooting 60.6% from the field and scoring 29.8 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game.

He was fifth in points, first in rebounds, fifth in assists, and seventh in field goal percentage. He was named NBA MVP twice.

That being said, Jokic could win his third MVP award if he keeps playing this well.

The veteran center will still try to win another title for the Nuggets even if he doesn’t win the regular-season MVP award.

It doesn’t seem like a crazy dream for the Nuggets, to be honest.

Only 13 teams in NBA history have won two titles in a row. If the Nuggets do it, they will be the first.

How high can Jokic and the Nuggets go in the 2023–24 NBA season?

At this point, it looks like they will be the Western Conference’s team in the 2024 NBA Finals.
