DENVER -- Nikola Jokic plays for Denver. And for Serbia.
Both places can once again make the same claim: For the second consecutive season, they're home to the NBA's Most Valuable Player.
The league announced Wednesday night that Jokic had won back-to-back MVP awards. The Nuggets' big man is the second consecutive international player to claim two in a row, after the Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo -- from Greece -- was honored in 2019 and 2020.
This marks the first time international players have won the award in four consecutive seasons.
