For five consecutive years, even James has never achieved this achievement.

In the long history of the NBA, all the players who can rank among the top in the regular season MVP selection for many years are superstars in the league.

2024-25 season, Thunder star Alexander won the MVP title, while Jokic of the Nuggets ranked second, continued his legend with an amazing achievement.

Since 2021, Jokic's performance in the MVP selection is amazing.

In 2021, 2022 and 2024, he won the MVP trophy three times, and ranked second in the MVP voting in 2023 and 2025. This means that Jokic has all ranked in the top two of MVPs over the past five years, becoming the first player to achieve this feat since Larry Bird.

Jokic's dominance is not only reflected in the selection of MVP, but also in his comprehensive data and great contribution to the team.

This season, he averaged 24.8 points, 11.2 rebounds and 7.6 assists, making him the mainstay of the Nuggets. In the game, whether it is organizational connection or key scores, he can stand up at critical moments and lead the team to the forefront of the league.

vs. LeBron James, although he won four MVPs in the 2009-13 season, he ranked third in the MVP selection in 2011, a slight gap with Jokic's top two in the five consecutive MVP years. Jokic proved his outstanding position in the league with his strength and stability.

Jokic, now 30 years old, is in the prime of his career. Judging from his condition and performance over the past few years, as long as he stays healthy, he is very likely to continue to be at the top of the MVP list next season. His game IQ and his on-field leadership temperament are important guarantees for him to continue to maintain a high-level competitive state.

"As long as Jokic is willing, he can get 2-3 more MVPs," said former NBA player Kendrick Perkins. "His game style is destined to make his peak period longer than others. "

As veterans such as James and Durant gradually fade out, Jokic is establishing himself as the greatest player of this era. This achievement of the top two MVPs for five consecutive years may be just a footnote to his legendary career.

From the second round pick to the historical super giant, Jokic's counterattack story continues. This achievement, which is comparable to Bird, not only proves his extraordinary personal ability, but also demonstrates his unparalleled stability.
