In the most recent Ringer 100 rankings, the Nuggets’ young player surpasses the former MVP….

Here’s the latest snapshot from The Ringer’s Top 100 (updated February 27, 2025):

1. Nikola Jokic

2. Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander (OKC)

3. Giannis Antetokounmpo

4. Jayson Tatum

5. Luka Doncic

It appears you might be mixing up two teammates — since The Ringer doesn’t have another Nuggets player in the top 5 besides Jokic. But if you’re referring to a young Nugget surpassing a former MVP in the overall Top 100, this isn’t reflected in that latest update — no other Denver players cracked the top 5 or 10.

Maybe you saw something in another ranking (like ESPN or midseason updates), where someone like Jamal Murray or Michael Porter Jr. moved ahead of a former MVP. If you give me a bit more context, I can dig into that specific list.
