Jokic reportedly beat out Embiid and Giannis for the award and will be officially named a back-to-back MVP this week.
For the first time since Magic Johnson (1989,1990) and Michael Jordan (1991,1992) did it 30 years ago, we will have back-to-back NBA MVP winners. After Giannis Antetokounmpo earned the 2019 and 2020 MVP awards, Nikola Jokic has followed suit by winning the 2021 and now 2022 awards, per a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, with an announcement coming officially later this week on a TNT broadcast. Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic has been voted the NBA’s Most Valuable Player for a second consecutive season, sources tell ESPN.
