Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was in disbelief about this apparent disconnect between fans and the unavoidable greatness presented by modern NBA stars.

It’s no secret that the current generation of the NBA is fed up with how the mainstream media compares them to the past. But the vitrol has reached another level following the historic performances of Stephen Curry and Nikola Jokic on Tuesday night.

The race for the Most Valuable Player award this 2024-25 season is heating up, particularly between Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. A poll conducted by ESPN put the Oklahoma City Thunder guard in the lead. Nonetheless, it might be too early to proclaim him as the MVP winner.

If Jokić were to win, he would become the sixth player in NBA history with at least four MVP awards. The current group includes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (six), Michael Jordan (five), Bill Russell (five), LeBron James (four) and Wilt Chamberlain (four).

As the 2024-25 regular season winds down, expect to see the Oklahoma City Thunder well-represented during the award season. They're putting the finishing touches to one of the greatest regular season campaigns ever and will enter the playoffs playing their best basketball.

Despite the crushing loss, Nikola Jokic did it again. In a double-overtime thriller, the Minnesota Timberwolves scraped by the Denver Nuggets, but some heroics on both sides of the floor made Tuesday's matchup one of the most exciting games of the 2024-25 NBA season.

In what has been his best statistical season, Nikola Jokic had one of the best games of his career Tuesday night—a career-high 61-point triple-double. It was a virtuoso performance. Jokic joins James Harden and Luka Doncic as the only players in NBA history with a 60-point triple-double,
