I can't believe it.

Give Tatum his flowers, for sure. But how can't you mention Nikola Jokic. 2xMVP, NBA Champion. Nuggets are 1st. Jokic averaging 30-14-8.

If only Kd had a winning record but he does not. The Suns are 5-6. Of course he has missed Book and Beal but it is what it is. Luka was carrying his team even harder for the first half of the season last year and no one in the media mentioned him.

Who cares mate, neither of them are sniffing MVP

[–] Xekshek33@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He is bad at this

I think JT deserves to be in the convo and will be for the rest of the year....but are we just forgetting Jokic exists?

And aren't the Suns like .500?

[–] DrumzRUs@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

he was also upset Curry was getting mvp cheers in 2017 in the oracle

[–] repo_sado@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He thinks it's like the cbl where they have an international MVP and also a domestic mvp

Jokic stans don’t like it when the 2x MVP stops getting traction. Welcome to the club.

Can we wait a little bit before the MVP bullshit starts? It's been 10 games FFS.

I love Tatum and he rightfully deserves to be in the conversation but right now this is Jokic award easily. He’s one of the most dominant players ever imo after what he did last season and continuing this season. There’s a big gap between him and the second best player imo.

MVP talk in November is madness

[–] The_Truth_Hurts_Yu@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's not even close that Jokic is the MVP this early on. Best player on the best team in the NBA. He is the best player in the NBA. And his team doesn't even have the most talent in the NBA. The move to push Joker into the past is comical. Especially for a known playoff "series" choke artist. Don't @ me about Tatums 50 point playoff games because I'll just respond with his series performances when it mattered.

KD has no shot. Tatum makes it a race if the Celtics win 60+ games and the Nuggets struggle because of injuries. It’s not impossible to see a narrative where Tatum wins because Jokic and Embiid have MVPs and the Celtics are the clear 1 seed with Tatum doing great with plus minus and averaging 30 and 10. The odds that the Suns have a better record than the Celtics are way smaller than the odds that KD misses 20 games.

Analysts say controversial shit like this on purpose to get people worked up and post them on social media like you are doing. Clicks are clicks.

[–] Simple_Wait_7286@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I don’t have KD or Tatum in the top 3 right now for MVP voting lol.

Top 3 right now is Jokic and then Luka/Embiid (in some order).

[–] FrnklndaTurtle@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You took the bait.

[–] SpeedyFalcon874@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Tatum is the clear MVP imo. NBA just tries to push Europeans so hard, luckily Embiid won it last year and now Tatum should win it. Europeans shouldn't be winning MVPs in our league
