Nikola Jokic won the MVP award for a second straight year, however his ultimate goal remains the NBA championship.
The superstar big man said he prefers to lead the Denver Nuggets to a title than winning individual awards.
“All those individual awards are people picking who wins it…a championship is something you win,” Jokic said, via Harrison Wind of Denver Sports.

Denver suffered an early playoff exit, losing to the Golden State Warriors in the first round (4-1). The Nuggets have never made it to the NBA Finals and this will be the target for the franchise next year.
With Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. back to action next season, the Nuggets are expected to return to title contention.
Nikola Jokic averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game this season while shooting 58.3 percent from the field.
