Nikola Jokic has won the MVP Award in three out of the previous four seasons.
He has established himself as one of the 50 greatest players of all time.
Jokic is not on social media, so whenever there is content about his off-court life, those clips typically get a lot of attention on X, TikTok, and Instagram.
Recently, a video of Jokic rafting got a lot of views on social media (h/t Flouter and NBACentral).
