Any list that says there are 7 players playing better than KD is full of shit

Lol tyrese is better than giannis and lebron but somehow not better than Ant? Who tf makes these rankings. Like id take Giannis or lebron this season over tyrese but i would take tyrese this season over ant

Giannis is criminally low.

Bron should be ahead of tyler and prob Tatum. Rest I do feel should be ahead of lebron

SGA over Tatum is a bit silly.

Tatum has the best +/- in the NBA, and is on the best team in the NBA.

He's gotta be higher than 5th, a lack of box score/utilization numbers shouldn't be a detriment here. If the Celtics are the best team all year, he should make the final ballot and stay top 3.

That said, it should still be Jokic's to lose with Jokic second.

You don't watch the Timberwolves if you think Ant is the most valuable player on that team rn.

The "next 5" should be at the top of the list.

Might be the best MVP leader board since Magic/Bird's last few great seasons that aligned with guys like Dominique/Isiah/McHale then the classic mega stars like Jordan/Hakeem/Barkley/Ewing/Mailman really starting to take off.

Hopefully they throw out the narratives -- and let the best candidate win.

Don't think "team record" should matter all that much. Given how much parity there is. Unless we get some extreme like a team wins 70 plus games. OR, a team wins fewer than 20-25 games.

Greek Freak, LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Tyrese Halliburton... could win this thing. Shai could win this thing. Heck, Chet Holmgren is balling out with a highly-efficient style. Give it to Chad Lincoln if he deserves it.

So, Ja Morant.

[–] DiCaprio_Too@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Genuinely thought sga would be higher. Huge numbers on both ends of the court. Efficient %'s. Team is second in the west. Better record than philly and Dallas.

How is he 4th in voting??

KD should be top 5 ngl
