The 15 multi-NBA MVP award winners, which now includes Nikola Jokic

Jokic #Jokic

Here’s an amazing fact for you: There have been 14 NBA players who have won an MVP more than once.

JUST 14!

And on Monday, we found out about the 15th to join that class.

That’s right, Nikola Jokic will win his second MVP trophy after an incredible year, and he’s a back-to-back winner as well.

That means he’s joining an elite set of names, so many of whom are Hall of Famers, and — again — this blew my mind and was pretty cool for a guy drafted in the second round and 41st overall back in 2014.

Let’s run through the names of all the players who have won more than once:
