In an interesting turn of events, it has been revealed that Nikola Jokic's MVP wins have not translated into deep playoff runs for his team, the Denver Nuggets. This revelation raises doubts about his impact on the postseason despite his individual success.

Jokic, who has won the coveted MVP title three times, has not been able to guide his team past the second round of the playoffs in any of those seasons. Even more surprising is the fact that last season, when the Nuggets clinched an NBA championship, Jokic finished second in the MVP voting, trailing behind Joel Embiid.

What makes this situation particularly intriguing is that Jokic is the only MVP since 1984 who has never had a teammate earn All-Star, All-NBA, or All-Defensive honors. This lack of support may explain why Jokic's individual brilliance has failed to translate into team success in the playoffs.

Digging deeper into the numbers, if Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are eliminated by the Timberwolves in the second round, it will extend the record for the most consecutive seasons an MVP has failed to reach the conference finals. This record currently stands at five seasons, with Giannis Antetokounmpo being the last MVP to do so in 2019.

Furthermore, Jokic's inability to guide his team to the NBA Finals extends the current record of seven consecutive seasons without an MVP leading his team to the ultimate stage. The last MVP to accomplish this feat was Stephen Curry in 2016 when the Warriors were crowned champions.

Should Denver fall short in this round or, if they manage to overcome this deficit, in the conference finals, it would break the record for the most consecutive seasons of an MVP not winning an NBA title. This record is currently held by Curry in 2015 when the Warriors claimed the championship. The current streak stands at eight seasons, with separate periods from 2004-2011 and 1972-1979.

As Jokic and the Nuggets aim to repeat as NBA champions, these statistics cast a shadow of doubt on their prospects of success. Despite Jokic's undeniable talent and numerous MVP accolades, the lack of support from his teammates and the team's struggles in the postseason might hinder their chances of securing another title.

Only time will tell if Jokic can break this unusual trend and lead the Denver Nuggets to playoff glory, but for now, the statistics serve as a reminder that individual brilliance does not always guarantee team success.
