Unbelievable.

And he's still on this on this track to add more and more.

But also, Jokic, when you look back on it, like there was a good two month stretch where he kind of wasn't the guy.

Part of that was he wasn't available.

He missed an entire month of the season.

The Nuggets, notably, were 11 and five during that stretch.

Doesn't look good on his case.

And also, I can't remember an MVP in years past that just missed a solid month of basketball.

And we're like, because availability is a big part of this, right?

Sure.

And then when he comes back, he just isn't the same guy.

Nuggets were 5-7 over the next month or so of basketball.

He turned the ball over, just was willy-nilly with it a lot in weird ways that he typically isn't.

He shot pretty poorly from three during that stretch.

He just wasn't that guy.

And so...

Lately, he's been lights out.

He bests Wemby the other day.

And we can get into Wemby, Jokic, and where they fall on the 2-3 in your guys' ballots.

But overall, that's like two months of basketball where I'm like, he's either not there or not the same guy.
