Nikola Jokić Named NBA's Best Player for 2024-25

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokić has been named the NBA's best player going into the 2024-25 season by a poll of 18 coaches, scouts, and executives, receiving 15 out of 18 votes. He is also the highest-rated player in NBA 2K25 with a 97 OVR, tied with Luka Dončić and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Despite this, some feel his rating should be higher, given his three MVP titles. Jokić's prowess was recently highlighted in a game where he achieved a triple-double with 100% shooting, joining Wilt Chamberlain as the only players to do so multiple times. Jokić himself remains indifferent to his 2K rating, unlike others who feel it underrepresents his achievements.
