Nikola Jokic is on the verge of potentially winning his second straight MVP award after putting up historic numbers all season long.
How much does he actually care about that? Probably not too much. At least if his treatment of his first MVP trophy is any indication of it, anyway. He has no idea where the trophy is.
No, seriously. Nikola Jokic doesn’t know where his MVP trophy is right now.
The Nuggets big man was asked about potentially winning another MVP trophy and the most scripted answer possible. “If it happens, yeah. Great.” Clearly, this is a man who is not moved by MVP trophies.
So if those are his thoughts about another potential trophy, what does he think about his first award? Where does he even keep it?
He has no idea where is it right now.
Asked Nikola Jokic about winning another MVP: “If it happens, yeah. great.”
Where do you keep your first MVP award?
“I don’t know where it is right now, to be honest.”
Said he’s in the middle of moving, and his wife is the caretaker.

This dude. The Jokic family is apparently in the middle of moving and his wife is taking care of everything, which makes sense. But…it’s an MVP trophy! Shouldn’t this be handled with some sort of special care?
That trophy could be anywhere right now. I’m just waiting for it to pop up on eBay at some point. “Authentic Nikola Jokic MVP trophy — CONFIRMED.” Can you imagine how confused we’d all be? Just the pure chaos of it all.
Also, if anyone wanted to make a good argument for Joel Embiid or Giannis Antetokounmpo, though, here’s your ammo. Jokic doesn’t even care! Let someone who does get the trophy. I’m sure he won’t mind it.
This is actually pretty funny, honestly. Hopefully, if Jokic does win it, he’ll get a special case for this one. Then maybe he can work on tracking down the other.
