Jokic sets NBA record: Holding two MVP trophys, but never having superstar teammates

NBA officially announced the list of the All-Season roster today, and Nikola Jokic, the star of the Denver Nuggets, was selected for the first time without any suspense. But surprisingly, the Serbian center was once again trapped in the "lonely hero" situation - no player in the Nuggets except him has been selected into the best team.

What is even more surprising is that this seemingly ordinary result made Jokic set an embarrassing NBA record. Even if he won the regular season MVP twice in 2021 and 2022, the all-round center has never had any teammates in his career who were selected for the All-Star and All-Squad in the season. In the 77-year history of the NBA, Jokic is the only superstar who has encountered this situation among all players who have won the regular season MVP.

This fact surprised many basketball experts. Jokic led the team in multiple statistics this season, but even in the championship season, his teammates have never been recognized by the All-Star or the Best Team. "Some fans also joked: " Asking for a teacher is like leading a university team to the NBA Finals, and he really did it! "

"This is simply incredible," famous basketball commentator Mark Jackson lamented on the show, "What we are witnessing is probably the most underrated team building case in history. Jokic proves with his actual performance that superstars do not necessarily need All-Star teammates to succeed. "

As teammates such as Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon gradually enter the golden period of their careers, it is worth looking forward to whether Jokic can break this embarrassing record. But at least for now, this "Serbian Magician" is writing his own legendary chapter in a unique way.
