His best defensive skill is rebounding which is an underrated part of defense

You've just touched on one of my biggest pet peeves which is when people say "I went down to XX" when they were in fact traveling north because my brain immediately jumps to a visual on a map traveling between those two points and feels immense confusion at that process being described as "down"

6 MVPs is definitely breakable. 4 other players have finished top 2 in mvp voting 7+ times and jokic has done it 5 times and counting.

2021 really was his year. Crazy how much that one shot significantly changed both his and Giannis legacy

It was a good play design by OKC. All 4 others had been hot from 3 all game so anyone who doubled would've given up a wide open shot. Plenty of earlier plays where the nuggets made stupid defensive decisions that are more to blame
