Jokic的得獎反應也是話題之一，不過獲獎時也有一段插曲，他在上節目時，節目中的來賓俠客Shaquille O'Neal，就直球對決和Jokic說：「你知道我愛你，你是全聯盟最強球員，我想要恭喜你，但我想讓你先聽到我的想法，我覺得SGA才是今年的MVP，沒有不尊敬你的意思。」

“You know I love you. You’re the best player in the league. I want to congratulate you. But I want you to hear it from me first; I thought that SGA should have been the MVP; that’s no disrespect to you.”
