Second in the league! Third in the league! First in the NBA history! This is why he can win 212 million in three years

When I saw the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals, I guess Nuggets fans were mixed up because they almost eliminated the league's No. 1 Thunder. If the G7 Nuggets can turn the tide and win away, they will meet the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Final. In this way, the Nuggets are likely to defeat the Timberwolves and advance to the finals! After all, judging from the matchups in the first three rounds of the Thunder, the Denver Nuggets are the only team that can wrestle the Thunder, and the other two teams are not opponents at all! Just imagine, if the Nuggets can eliminate the Thunder in the second round, they will most likely win this year's NBA championship! But unfortunately, they were not favored by the goddess of luck in the end.

This season has been an extremely turbulent and very difficult year for the Denver Nuggets! As the regular season is about to end, the team suddenly fired former coach Mike Malone and general manager Booth at the same time. Fortunately, the interim coach Adelman, who was appointed in danger, fulfilled his mission and led the team back on track and started the playoffs with the fourth place in the West. In the first round, they killed the Los Angeles Clippers through tiebreak, but because the first round was too overdrafted, they ultimately failed to escape in the second round tiebreak! In the end, Jokic and his Nuggets had to accept the fate of stopping the second round.

There is no doubt that the 2024-25 season is an extremely frustrating season for Nikola Jokic! In addition to the team's failure to miss the excellent chance to win the championship in the second round, he also lost in the regular season MVP competition with Alexander. Although he already has a championship ring in his hand, this is far from enough for Jokic, who is at the peak of his career. With his super strength, Jokic has a chance to lead the Nuggets to win another or even more championship trophys.

Although Jokic has just experienced a frustrated season, he has not achieved nothing this season! At least he will be eligible to sign a three-year contract renewal worth $212 million this summer, which is also a compensation for his super performance this season! Recently, NBA salary expert Bobby Marks wrote an article talking about issues related to Nikola Jokic's future contract. "According to league sources, this will be a priority when superstars like Jokic are eligible to sign a new contract," wrote

Marks. It is reported that the Nuggets and Jokic can immediately reach a three-year super maximum salary renewal worth $212.2 million immediately after the finals. The new contract starts at 65.5 million, which will replace Jokic's 2027-28 player option and ensure he can stay in the Nuggets until the end of the 2029-30 season. In the 2024-25 season, Jokic played 70 regular season games for the Nuggets, averaging 29.6 points (third in the league), 12.7 rebounds (third in the league), 10.2 assists (second in the league), 1.8 breaks and 0.6 caps per game. It is particularly worth mentioning that since the rebound data began in the 1950-51 season, Nikola Jokic is the first player in NBA history to rank among the top three in the three single-season scores, boards and assists. This means that Jokic has filled the historical gap in the league's unmanned season in the past 75 years that all scored, rebounds and assists ranked among the top three in the league! Therefore, it is understandable that Jokic can renew his contract with a 3-year, super maximum salary of 212 million yuan this summer. All of this is the reward he deserves. He deserves to be the first NBA history's Mr. Seventy million average salary.
