Indeed, the Joker has been relentless within the paint, dismantling opposing defences with his hot shooting and slick passing skills.
The two-time reigning MVP winner has notched nearly 25 points per game. He's also threatening to become the first center in NBA history to average a triple-double across an entire season. Simply absurd.
Can he top the charts for a third consecutive year? 'Three-peating' is no easy feat. The fact that it hasn't been done since the 1980s speaks volumes.
But given that Jokic's form this season has led the Denver Nuggets to pole position in the West despite a recent flurry of defeats, there's all the justification you need to lean in his favour. In his team's second skid of the season, he came up trumps.
The real test should've unfolded against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night, but Joel Embiid's calf injury denied us an MVP showdown. Instead, Jokic will take on the New Orleans Pelicans and the Phoenix Suns in the final few games of the regular season.
If each of those ventures ends in a similar points haul then there'll be very little defence against seeing him join the NBA greats.
