Gilbert Arenas Makes U-Turn On Nikola Jokic Amidst 2024 NBA MVP Debate After Calling Him ‘Worst MVP’
Nikola Jokic's stellar performance in the matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves has put forth his stature as strong MVP contender. Gilbert Arenas took opposite turn on his 'Worst MVP' remark.
The MVP candidate for the Denver Nuggets, Nikola Jokic, has been delivering bomber performances one after another. Despite the matchup between Western Conference powerhouses, Nikola Jokic showcased an extraordinary performance, proving why he is one of the best players in the NBA.
Jokic's exceptional skills were on full display as he led the Denver Nuggets to a crucial victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves with a monumental 41-point game, complemented by 11 rebounds and seven assists.
Surprisingly, his match-winning performance made Gilbert Arenas change his mind about Jokic and take his words back on the Nuggets two-time NBA MVP. Arenas sat with Shannon Sharpe on the Nightcap Podcast and responded to Sharpe's MVP race thoughts.
Gilbert Arenas said, “When Embiid went down, it was over. If this was last year or the year before, we wouldn’t even be questioning who the MVP is… He earned this one.”
However, it was a complete change of heart for Arenas as he recently had a strange comment on Jokic. Just last week, Arenas termed the Nuggets center the worst MVP winner in the past 40 years. 
On the same podcast, he had earlier said, “Jokic is probably, statistically, when it comes to overall game, the worst MVP winner. He's the worst MVP winner in the last 40 years.”
