While many fans hailed him for yet another MVP award this season, others were quick to point out that the Joker only took five shots at the target. So the 100% shooting part is actually not as impressive as it looks on paper.

Meanwhile, Jokic is at his best this season. The four-time All-Star has been putting up some amazing performances this whole season. He is currently averaging around 25.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 9.7 assists. Surprisingly, in his last five games, the 27-year-old has either reached or broken the 50% field goal shooting plateau. If the two-time MVP continues performing like this then he could very well bag his third MVP trophy, especially with the Denver Nuggets holding the best record in the league.
