    May 18 2026
    Nikola Jokić just finished as the MVP runner-up to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the second straight season… and it raises a serious question: Did Jokić just miss his final realistic shot at winning MVP No. 4?

Even with all-time great production, voter fatigue, team narratives, and the NBA’s next generation of stars could make another MVP climb even tougher from here. On today’s Shapiro and Piro the fellas break down: The history of older MVP winners Why MVP voting may already be shifting away from Jokić How SGA changed the conversation Whether Denver’s championship window affects future MVP chances And if Jokić can still defy NBA history yet again Is the league moving on from the Jokić era of MVP dominance — or are we underrating one of the greatest players ever? 🔥 Don’t miss the latest updates on Denver’s top teams from Shapiro and Piro — hit that subscribe button and turn on notifications to stay on top of all the action!
