Denver’s duo of MVPs — Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon — are the state’s Pro Athletes of the Year. Jokic, now a three-time NBA MVP, finished 2023-24 averaging 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds and nine assists per game, compiling 25 triple-doubles and shooting 58.3% from the field. MacKinnon racked up a career-high 51 goals and a franchise-record 140 points in his Hart Trophy season, leading the NHL in shots on goal (405) and even-strength points (92).
