Nikola Jokic collected his third straight NBA MVP trophy before Tuesday night's Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves and then he went out and led the Denver Nuggets to a huge win to take a 3-2 series lead after having dropped the opening two games at home.

Jokic isn't just a great basketball player. He's also a pretty funny guy, which he showed off once again during his postgame press conference when he was asked about a big dunk he had in Game 5 and a similar one he threw down earlier in the series.

Jokic gave all credit to himself for being a "freak of nature."

"I'm a freak of nature." 😂

It's hard not to root for that guy.

The defending champs are back to their dominant ways, which is bad news for the rest of the NBA. Game 6 of the Nuggets-Timberwolves series is Thursday night at 8:30 p.m. ET.
