Bulls center Vucevic shares his MVP hot take: Denver's Jokic deserves a third trophy. McGrawDHSports chicagobulls
The idea of Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic winning a third consecutive MVP award has sparked some lively debate on sports talk shows.
"It's not like he's putting up numbers and they're not winning, they're 24-0 when he has a triple-double." Vucevic first met Jokic during the latter's rookie season with the Nuggets in 2015-16. Bulls vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas used to work in Denver and had a hand in drafting Jokic in the second round. That same year, the Nuggets swapped first round picks with the Bulls, with the Bulls moving up to take Doug McDermott while Denver chose Gary Harris and Jusuf Nurkic.
"He plays in a winning way," Vucevic said."He makes the right play, he doesn't force, he doesn't try to do something just to do it. It's all within the flow of the game. They have the best record. All the arguments are there for him. Alex Caruso did not practice Tuesday as a precaution, since he's been dealing with a sore foot. But Caruso is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game.
