NBA - Main

SGAAAAAAAAA

Ive already begun to shift agendas w/ Bam in the top 10

MVP > DPOY

Jokic hasn’t had less than 22 points OR 10 rebounds in a game this season. His consistency is unmatched.

Quite fair to be honest, Luka is playing great but Jokic is a fucking monster

I think SGA is a better player but I think Haliburton should be 5th for now, the Pacers being the number one offense with, I guess, Buddy Hield as the second best offensive player on the roster, is pretty insane

SGA has been turning up but man has everybody on this list been doing it too.

Stats of the top 5 on the list:

Jokic: 30/14/8 on 65.4% TS, 3.5 TOs, 9-2 team record

Luka: 31/8/8 on 64.0% TS, 4.4 TOs, 9-3 team record

Embiid: 32/12/6 on 61.4% TS, 3.7 TOs, 8-3 team record

Tatum: 28/9/4 on 64.0% TS, 2.7 TOs, 9-2 team record

SGA: 29/6/6 on 60.6% TS, 2.3 TOs, 8-4 team record

Shai is doing the one thing people wanted to see and that's winning, glad to see it payoff in the MVP rankings. His defense and playmaking has taken the leap.

I have a feeling voters will find a reason to feel bad for Embiid and just give it to him.

KD not even in the top 10 with the hard carry he has been doing is pretty questionable

Bam at number 9! Happy to see him getting some credit for his performance early on. Has started the season so well and looking like an All NBA guy.

Luka has been absurd this year. Would not be surprised to see him take it home this year if he stays healthy.

The Embiid over Tatum stuff has to come to an end at some point. It's getting absurd.

Assuming a healthy season from Jokic, it's realistically going to take 65+ win seasons from Celtics, Mavs, or Sixers for Tatum/Luka/Joel to win.

I don't think Dallas or Philly is good enough to do that, and while I wouldn't totally rule it out for Boston, it's still a very tall order.

Can’t be mad at that top 5 tbh.

What a bunch of monsters all these guys are. I used to say the NBA would be boring when Bron, Steph and leave, but it sure as fuck looks like it’s in great hands.

The Tyrese disrespect is insane. Semi-joking, but Hali should be 6 then

Gonna have to look for a reason to not give it to big jok every year lmao. Dude is just unreal, as much as I love luka

Where Giannis

Just happy to be here.

I think if Murray is out for a month or more, and if the Nuggets keep a 1st or 2nd seed in the West without him, Jokic will win. Big ifs.

The bittersweet thing about Maxey breaking out into a star is that it diminishes Embiid's value in the eyes of the voters. Luka has Kyrie, Embiid has Maxey, Tatum has Brown, while Jokic's #2 right now is a tossup between Aaron Gordon and MPJ.

Tatum has had the hardest schedule in the league while the Mavs have had the easiest. Just something to note

Can we not with this... we're not even 1/4 of the way through the season

If Doncic can get Dallas to finish in the top three in the West, I quietly fancy him. A lot of people didn’t even have the Mavs making the play-offs this season.

Disrespect to Tyrese Haliburton. Averaging nearly 25 points, 12.5 assists, and 4 rebounds on 67.7% TS, only 2.1 turnovers per game, and the Pacers are 7-4 but the loss to Boston he didn’t play and they got blown out.

He’s also 2nd in BPM only behind Jokic and historically, the MVP winner is usually 1st or 2nd in this stat. Last 3 guys to not be top 2 in BPM and win MVP were Rose (3rd), Kobe and Nash.

I’m kinda shocked he’s not a top 5 candidate right now. If he carries a supporting cast of Myles Turner, Benedict Mathurin, Obi Toppin and Bruce Brown to a top 4 seed (3 of these guys were solid bench players last year), he absolutely has to be in the conversation.

My list:

1. Jokic

2. Luka

3. Skylar Mays

4. SGA

5. Tatum

These white men are dangerous

Tobias Harris snubbed

I can't see Jokic losing this one

MVP voters are recovering from their fatigue and are looking to hop right back on the Jokic carriage.

Narrative cost jokic last years mvp but I think will favor him this year bc people regret last years. and his numbers are excellent this year.

What about Devin Booker

Embiid isn’t even the most important player on his own team right now

Ant will probably see a dip after this week, but it would be crazy to see him break the top five this season.

Jokic is a walking cheat code. Sheesh

I am a mavs fan on the nuggets bandwagon. I am in a good mvp position right now

Honestly dont know how he could have looked better than last season but he does. We had Jordan/Lebron now we have Jokic. Appreciate the greatness.

i honestly believe we might get a 2nd unanimous mvp or close to it in jokic if Denver get 1st/2nd seed. last season's bs will be at the back of a lot of voters' mind. you talkin hoops and next thing you know you're being called a white supremacist on national tv+ factor in how the playoffs went

Tatum should be #1 he’s had the most on/off impact in the league and has elite numbers to back it up

I hope Skinny Luka wins

Are we going to do this Jokic vs Embiid shit again this season?
Can we just jump to the media race baits and the Subreddits post meaningless stats to justify their vote
