For the third straight season, a European player has won the MVP award in the NBA. Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets, Serbia) was voted as the most valuable player this season after Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks, Greece) won the MVP award the last 2 years. The last European player before these 2 players to win the award was Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas Mavericks, Germany) in the 2006-07 season.
