The NBA 2022-23 season has just shifted gears and fans are all for it. With so many teams giving their all, there’s another confusion that has arisen in the NBA fandom. A confusion that plagues not only fans but title-winning players as well. Draymond Green recently sat down for an interview and one of the many questions kind of stumped him. The Warriors superstar was unable to pinpoint his choice for the Michael Jordan MVP Trophy for a while. But when he did make a choice, it wasn’t his talented colleague Stephen Curry?or young superstar Luka Doncic.

Draymond Green named Nikola Jokic as his pick for the Michael Jordan Trophy. According to the Warriors superstar the Denver Nuggets star should win the trophy for the third-year running for a few specific reasons.

Draymond Green names Nikola Jokic as the MVP favorite bypassing Stephen Curry

The Golden State Warriors superstar was just like everyone else while guessing the MVP winner for this year. In a recent interview with Taylor Rooks from the Bleacher Report, Green hesitantly answered his pick for the 2022-23 MVP.

“Steph has played at an MVP level, but our record does not state that currently,” said Green. He further added, “But we’re also not so far off to where that can’t change. And then, if that does change, could Steph be the MVP? But if things still as they stand today, I think who’ll be MVP is probably Joker[Nikola Jokic] again. He is about to average a triple-double.“

The Warriors superstar predicted Jokic to grab the trophy for the third year in a row. Green mentioned how his team’s performance also amplifies his chances. The Nuggets are currently in the 1st position in the Western Conference with the second-best record in the league(29-13).
