Nikola Jokic ended an historic season and is eligible for a super max contract extension this summer.
\nA contract he would love to sign.<\/p>\n

Per ESPN,<\/strong><\/a> Following a historic season that could lead to a second MVP trophy, Nikola Jokic said he will sign what is expected to be the largest supermax contract extension in NBA history with the Denver Nuggets this offseason.<\/p>\n

Jokic poured in 30 points, 19 rebounds and 8 assists in Game 5 of the Nuggets’ first-round series on Wednesday night, but they were eliminated with a 102-98 loss to the Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n

Jokic now is eligible to receive a supermax contract extension that will be worth $254 million over five years, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.<\/p>\n

“I would like it, of course,” Jokic said when asked about a contract extension. “But it’s not something that I’m deciding. I think if [the] offer is on the table, of course I’m going to accept it because I really like the organization, I really like the people who works here. I’m in [a] really good relationship with everybody from [the] owner to equipment manager.”<\/p>\n

The reigning MVP delivered a historic individual season that could lead to a second consecutive MVP trophy. Jokic, 27, became the first player with 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 500 assists in a season. He also became the first to average 25 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists in a season, and the first to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks and field goal percentage in a season since steals and blocks became official in 1973-74, according to research by ESPN Stats & Information.<\/p>\n

“I mean, I never dream about it,” Jokic said of the possibility winning a second MVP. “It’s something that if it happened, it’s a great thing of course. It’s something that probably legacy, my name is always going to be there.<\/p>\n
