A three-time NBA MVP, Jokić is a seven-time All-Star who’s won a championship and Finals MVP. Jokić also led the Serbian national team to a silver Olympic medal in 2016 and a bronze in Paris last summer.

Before Germany took on Serbia in a EuroBasket exhibition on Saturday, Schröder beamed with respect for Jokić. He marveled at how "the best player in the world" wants to be remembered for being a father first, and everything else second. Perhaps that's what makes Jokić so special in the first place:

He won two MVPs before turning 26, joining only LeBron James and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and has remained in the conversation for the award ever since winning his second in 2020. If not for Jokić, there’s no question Antetokounmpo would have at least one more MVP.

The Heat are gearing up for a seismic splash in 2027, targeting league MVPs Nikola Jokić and Giannis Antetokounmpo as potential free agents.
