Over the past three years, Nikola Jokic has solidified his position as one of the top players in the world. In 2021 and 2022, Jokic earned back-to-back MVP awards. This season, he finished in second place. He received the richest contract in NBA history from the Denver Nuggets.

Last year, Jokic agreed to a five-year, $272 million agreement that will begin in the upcoming campaign. Next season, he’s expected to make $46,9 million, then $50.6 million, $54.5 million, and $58.2 million from 2025 to 2027. For the 2027–28 season, he has a player option worth $61.9 million.

When his deal expires, “The Joker” will be 32 years old, which implies he might sign at least one more max contract. If the Nuggets win the NBA championship in 2023, it will unquestionably be worthwhile.

During a Taco Bell commercial, Nikola Jokic was selected with the 41st overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft. He’ll probably be remembered as the greatest draft-day steal in NBA history. When he joined the league the next year, he agreed to a three-year, $4.1 million deal.

In 2018, Jokic had a breakthrough season, averaging 18.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game. He received a five-year, $147.7 contract deal from the Nuggets as compensation.

Denver found it to be a good deal because Jokic won the MVP award in 2021 and 2022 back-to-back. They are one victory away from being the first team in franchise history to win the NBA championship after he guided them to their first-ever trip in the NBA Finals this season.

Nikola Jokic didn’t have his best night in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Jokic was plagued with foul trouble on Friday night, but that didn’t prevent him from having a good game. He finished with 23 points, 12 rebounds and four assists in the Denver Nuggets’ 108-95 win.
