Nikola Jokic has gone back-to-back.

The NBA officially confirmed that the Denver Nuggets superstar has won the 2021/22 NBA MVP Award. It marks the second straight year Jokic has taken home the hardware.

The 27-year old Serbian helped lead a Nuggets team that was without two key starters for the majority of the season to an impressive 48-34 record, which put them sixth in the Western Conference.

In 2021/22, he posted a career-high 27.1 points to go along with 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists in 74 games. He also became the first player in league history to post at least 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 500 assists in a single season.
