Will Nikola Jokic join Wilt Chamberlain, LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell and Michael Jordan as the only six players to win four NBA MVPs? Or will Shay Gilgeous-Alexander win his first MVP?

We know that the two of them are one of three finalists for the MVP award (the top two will be in some order), and the league announces the top three individual awards (voted for by a specific group of media members) at the end of each season. Winners of the respective awards will be announced in the coming weeks.

There are no surprises on this list, and some of the players will surely feel left out. List of all finalists (players in alphabetical order):
