Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets is a seven-time All-Star, NBA champion, and three-time MVP.
Some people believe he’s one of the greatest players of all time, including his former teammate, Michael Porter Jr.
Porter recently stated his opinion about Jokic’s greatness and talked about why he sees him as the GOAT.
“The reason I say that is because he could have won MVP five years in a row. Can you name another player who could’ve won MVP five years?” Porter asked.

It’s hard to believe, but it seems that Jokic is actually getting better with age.
Last season, he averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.2 assists.
Those numbers were actually up from the previous year, when he claimed his third MVP trophy.
And even though he wasn’t named Most Valuable Player again, he came close and was in second place behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
For the last five seasons, Jokic has either won MVP or been named runner-up.
That is a massive accomplishment, and Porter is right to be amazed by it.
All NBA fans are waiting for the new season, eager to see what Jokic can do again.
He will have more support behind him, but it came at the expense of Porter.
Porter was recently sent to the Brooklyn Nets, which means he will no longer play with the man he views as the greatest of all time.
But the move of Porter was one of a few that could help the Nuggets compete better in 2025-26.
That means Jokic will have a better shot at success and, therefore, a better shot at being named MVP for a fourth time.
