In the past five years, Jokic has undoubtedly been the strongest player in the league, because he is a candidate for MVP every year and has won a total of 3 MVPs. In the other two seasons, Jokic also ranked second in the MVP list, and almost got the MVP, almost achieving the feat of winning MVP for five consecutive years. Even if you get 3 MVPs in 5 years, there are very few players in history who can do this, and they are all superstars in the top ten levels of history.

In addition to Jokic, there have been several other excellent players in the past five years, including Antetokounmpo, Embiid, Alexander, Doncic, etc. They are also regular visitors to the MVP list. Embiid and Alexander also defeated Jokic respectively and won the MVP. As for Antetokounmpo, he had already won two MVPs in a row before Jokic won the MVP.

Generally speaking, only the players ranked in the top three in the MVP list are real candidates and there is hope of getting MVP. In the past five years, Jokic has ranked in the top three of MVPs every year, and is also ranked second in the lowest ranking. In addition, Antetokounmpo and Embiid also ranked in the top three of the MVP list three times. However, Embiid ranked second twice and successfully won the MVP once. Antetokounmpo only ranked third in three times, so he failed to get another MVP.

Alexander has also performed at the MVP level in the past two seasons, losing to Jokic in 23-24 season, ranking second in the MVP list, and successfully defeated Jokic last season and won his first MVP.

In addition, Curry and Doncic have ranked in the top three of the MVP list in the past five years, but they are only ranked third, so they missed the MVP. For Curry, he has already won two MVPs before, and he is the only unanimous MVP in history. It doesn’t matter whether he can get the MVP again. Doncic has just entered the peak of his career. Although he was selected for the Best Team for five consecutive years, he has never won the MVP.

In the next few years, Jokic, Antetokounmpo, Alexander and Doncic should still be popular candidates for MVPs. However, Jokic and Antetokounmpo are getting older and older, and have both won several MVPs, so it is very difficult to get MVPs. Alexander and Doncic are both young and at their peak. They have great hopes of getting MVP, and they are likely to be direct competitors.
