Every year, NBA GMs conduct their annual survey to predict which players will win certain awards or lead certain categories. This year, it looks like Nikola Jokic is the overwhelming favorite among GMs that they believe will win numerous categories.

Jokic was voted the favorite in the following categories by NBA GMs:

- Who will win MVP
- Player that GMs would start a franchise with
- Best center in the NBA
- Best international player in the NBA
- Best passer
- Best basketball IQ

If there was any doubt that Nikola Jokic is the best player in the NBA, now is the time to abandon all of that - he is clearly the best. Even if Jokic was voted second-best player in the NBA by ESPN, it's clear that NBA GMs disagree with that statement.

Last season, Nikola Jokic won both an NBA Championship and NBA Finals MVP. He dominated throughout the entire playoffs, never slowing down in the face of any opponent, even Anthony Davis. With that level of dominance, it may be harder for Jokic to have that level of performance again. Watching how Jokic handles this upcoming season as the current champion will show a lot about how much he wants to be a top NBA player of all time.

The next preseason opponent for Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets is the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, October 15, at 6:00 p.m. PST.
