Timothy RappFeb 17, 2026

Joe Vardon of The Athletic polled a number of NBA players over All-Star Weekend and asked them who they deemed the best player in the league.

The top response was Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić, who received five overall votes.

No surprises there. The three-time MVP is averaging a cool 28.7 points, 12.3 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game while shooting 59 percent from the field. He's on his way to averaging a triple-double for the second straight season.

"All-around, I'd have to say Jokić," Miami Heat guard Norman Powell told Vardon. "I mean, all-around game, what he's able to do, what he means for that team, the numbers he's able to put up and how effortless he's able to make it."

"He's been dominant for so long and what he does on a nightly basis is pretty impressive," Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson added.

Defending MVP Shai-Gilgeous Alexander received three votes, while Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell got two (one came from himself, and one came from teammate Jaylon Tyson) and six players received one vote each. LeBron James and Stephen Curry did not receive any votes.
