Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
It's tough because I feel MVPs are often given to players prior to their team being fully ready to win a chip, and by the time their team is built out, voter fatigue kicks in. Happened to the warriors, Bucks nuggets. Happened to lebron in the years he didn't get mvp but won a title.
Seems like Jokic and Giannis have the best chance this year. And I'm a homer so I'll throw KD in the mix as well.
If KD wins MVP he’d be the oldest player to win MVP since Jordan in 1998, both at age 35.
I’m even seeing some people saying LeBron might pull off MVP at 39, which would be unprecedented.
I mean yeah jokic technically didn't get it last year, but we all know it was he
He didn’t get it, so no it wasn’t him.
I mean it was, just more of a wink wink kinda deal.
a) i’m gonna go to my grave saying it’s horseshit curry didn’t accomplish this in 2015
b) i think it’s relatively possible this year, jokic is currently the leader in early mvp talks, and the team doesn’t look significantly worse when healthy, so i’d say he could manage it. also, to be a homer for once, tatum also has a chance. if the celtics can do exceptionally well this year, which they seem at least capable of, he’s their MVP pick, and he’s been a dark horse for a couple years anyway. similar story for the playoffs, they are an incredibly talented team and he’s pretty solidly the alpha
Would've seen it last year if it weren't for race bait bs from the media
Curry should’ve won FMVP in 2015 and Jokic should’ve won MVP last year. Objectively.
Steph should have won it in 2015 and jokic should have won it last year in my opinion.
Lmao Joker got robbed last year
Jokic will probably do it this year. He will definitely get a sympathy MVP to make up for the voters fucking him aka Perk trying to start a race war in Embiid's name, and if they couldn't stop him last playoffs I don't see how anyone will beat the Nuggets this year.
Jokic 2023, when they correct past mistakes made by voters.
I think Jokic should’ve had it last year but Kendrick Perkins pulled out the race card
Jokic was better overall than Embiid in the reg season and he proved it when the playoffs came
Shouldve been Jokic last year tbh
Jokic would have done it last year if the league did pander to Embiid to shut him up.
SHOULD have happened last year.
Larry Bird sighting
Don't fn care
Pretty much the dudes who could win mvp. Booker, Jokic, Giannis, Tatum, Embiid, etc I could see these teams winning the finals
Joker should've gotten it last year, but Embiid committed highway robbery because people were so up in arms crying over the fact that LeBron and MJ never got 3 mvp's in a row
Jokic last year...
Jordan did it 4 times… that dude was nuts.
And was the scoring champ and all defensive first team those years too. Like tf this man wasn't real
We just did. Everybody knows Embiid got pity MVP
We should have had it last year so yeah this is obviously one of those things that tends to happen
Embiid wasn't going to be the FMVP silly
I mean, Jokic got robbed of his MVP last year
Obligatory mention of Curry getting robbed for fun in 2015
Once Wemby gets there my money is on him doing it.
Wemby 2027-2029, all under the tutelage of Coach Ginobili
Finals MVP is an overrated award.
Low key it should have happened last year.
But Jokic is probably the closest bet to it happening soon. Giannis is another one but he has Dame now and I imagine that will siphon off some of his support for MVP. Maybe Luka if Dallas makes a run
I think Giannis, Jokic, or Luka would take it over Lebron.
I would think so.
But, we can't ignore the elephant in the room.
Giannis or Jokic could have the BEST season of their career.
And many would vote for Luka or SGA or ANT (as long as the Wolves can keep counting on Rudy and KAT LMAO!!!!!!!) for MVP just because they are someone new.
I'll take the value bet in JT this season
No bias
Normally Jokic last season...
But maybe doesn't sound good, if one player is three time consequent MVP and at the least final MVP at the same time :)))
