Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic continued to add to his legacy as one of the best NBA players ever Wednesday by winning his third Most Valuable Player trophy.

Jokic won the award for the third time in four seasons, succeeding last season's MVP, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid.

He topped Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder, who finished second and third, respectively, in the voting.
