Oh man.. I do like this but Luka is going insane on teams right now.
Where do we stand on the ladder having SGA > Giannis. I don’t agree with it.
I mean at this point he basically has to win tonight to even have a chnace at MVP in a lot of the voters minds, which is just dumb.
as he should luka is a 7th seed
I don’t think anyone is catching Doncic
Seeding matters and the Mavs right now are not even in the playoffs spots
Can we collectively agree that this is silly?
If we win 67 games and the next best team has let’s say, 58 wins; would it make sense to give it to Tatum at that point?
Kobe did win – a lifetime award – MVP when we won 66 games back in 2008
we are up 8 with like 24 games to go? we would some how have to find a way to lose half our games left to get him the MVP. Just for him to get the competitive minutes.
Seriously how many times this year has tatum been geno’d? Shai plays clutch minutes every other game lol.
Luka is so overrated, he’s not winning shit if he doesn’t change his style. He shouldn’t be on here at all with a 7 seed. Bradly Beal won a scoring title I don’t remember him being on any mvp letters.
Tatum living rent free in r/nba head
The only way Tatum will be MVP this season is if he averages 30/10/8 the rest of the way and we finish 70-12.
I don’t give af if it’s not deserved fuck Luka and his bitchass fanbase. Hope JT drops 50 on his dome
Tatum isnt going to win MVP this year. While I consider him to be on Luka’s and SGA’s tier, they’re simply putting up better numbers.
But all this doesn’t matter because Tatum’s focus is to win in the playoffs so he’s sacrificing his personal numbers for the betterment of the team in hopes that they will be more successful in the playoffs.
MVP ladder rankings don’t mean shit to him at this point.
lol someone in the Mavs sub said JT is a major playoff choker. No idea why that would matter for a regular season award nevermind the fact JT has played more than 3x playoff games in his career despite being only a year older than Luka. JT is 52-42 in the playoffs and Luka is 12-16….
Steph Curry 24/4/8 on a 67 win warriors wins mvp near unanimously
Jayson Tatum 27/8/5 on a near 67 win paced Celtics team….WHY IS HE TOP 5 IN THE MVP LIST 😡🤬😱
Blows my mind a guy who might not even make the playoffs is even being talked about as a MVP
how on earth is Gianni’s higher than tatum and like 8.5 games back
