To @bypaulklee’s question about how long he plans to play, Jokic says: “As long as I can play at the highest level and help the team win, I think I’m going to play until then.” – 8:47 PM
Chris Palmer @ChrisPalmerNBA
There are 8 players in the last 30 years who have fewer MVPs and more rings than Joker. – 8:42 PM

Jokic press conference sans context:
“I don’t know how to skate.” – 8:42 PM
Ryan Wolstat @WolstatSun
Nikola Jokic had another MVP caliber season, but I believe if you factor in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lifting OKC from 10th to 1st, plus his edge as a defender, he was a worthy choice too. It was close, but I went with SGA with my vote. Luka was fantastic too. – 8:39 PM

Chris Palmer @ChrisPalmerNBA
It’s crazy that Joker has 3 MVPs and Kobe has one. Joker has one fewer MVPs than LeBron. Joker has one ring. Kobe and LeBron have 9 combined. – 8:13 PM

Nikola Jokic continues to add to his legacy as one of the all-time greats, becoming just the ninth player to win MVP three times. espn.com/nba/story/_/id…8:13 PM

New for @TheAthleticNBA – MVP #3 is Jokic’s coronation into the inner circle of greats. Where does he rank in the GOAT debate, and where might he end up when his career is over?

Final #NBA MVP voting results.
Three points.
1. My 1-2-3: Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luka Doncic.
2. Didn’t vote Kevin Durant, Domantas Sabonis or Anthony Edwards for MVP.
3. Have story incoming on my individual award votes compared to final votes. #NBAPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/oLNRghBFal8:02 PM

After his 3rd MVP award over the last 4 years, there’s only one thing which is pretty clear. The NBA is Nikola Jokic league. Case closed. #NBA #NBAPlayoffs #Road2Gold

Jokic is fabulous. But had I voted…Shai would’ve been my #1. Absolutely nobody had OKC finishing 1st in the West. Zero. And Shai’s the primary reason.
That said, again, Jokic is great. What’s more egregious is that 3 voters had Shai FOURTH & 1 had him *FIFTH*…? C’mon now! pic.twitter.com/zH8KNqPrVx7:54 PM

SGA and Luka Doncic had brilliant seasons. Nikola Jokic, who I thought should have won last season, is the rightful MVP. The only reason to vote him anything other than No. 1 is because he’s won before, and that shouldn’t be held against him. #NBA7:47 PM

Congratulations to Nikola Jokic. I didn’t have a vote, but he would have been my MVP comfortably.
With that said — and it’s apples to oranges — but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander likely had the best season by a Canadian ever. And it’s still going. – 7:43 PM
