I'm a huge Jokic fan (he's just fun to watch) and his domination of the playoffs this year was nothing short of historic. It's worth remembering that the league MVP is a regular season award, though.
Even so, he deserved to win that this year, too. And he would have probably gotten it too... if he hadn't won it the prior two years. MVP voters seem to be really allergic to giving out the three-peat. It hasn't happened since Larry Bird in the early eighties and only 3 times in league history (Russell, Chamberlain, Bird). That's right, not even Jorden, Magic, Kobe or Lebron were 3-peat MVPs.
