Shaq loves to dish it but he can never take it
Can the man voice his opinion without ppl calling it hate. Sensitive folks, I tell you. Nobody even attempted to discredit Jokic. But when you peel back the layers, even with the "same record" SGA had a bigger impact on his team. If we go metric for metric, anyone of them could have won it, but i also believe SGA had a slight edge. Thy prob will never get 1st seed again.
shaq is right, you was to tell me last year OKC were the number 1 seed in this competitive west i wouldve told you to get tf outta here. the best player is Jokic without a doubt but the most valuable is Shai
79-15 ain't close!
Shaq needs to stop 🧢
The big baby once again with the fragile ego. Poor shaq is mad that jokic does just about everything twice as good as he did. God forbid jokic ever wins 5 rings
Shaq thinks scoring lots of points = MVP
Also he keeps saying “I” which just proves how insecure he is.
Listen big baby if you would’ve spent more time in the gym and leas time partying and eating you would have more.
Jokvic won in a landslide. The criteria for Shaq is racial and his past lost MVP’s to other white players. These guys are unbelievable.
shaq really needs to stop being salty that jokic now has his 3rd and he rightfully has just 1. i must admit, even though shaq’s the most overrated player of all time, he would have made a fine 5 ! @ / 3
Congrats jokic but is the mvp a stat award or an award rewarded to the most valuable player? Stats wise donic or jokic for sure most valuable player in the league. For me that means impact on the team players around him etc has to go to without a shadow of a doubt by a fuckong mile be sga. Took a team of might be good players and an average coach to beyond the next level and made everyone better around him. That is the definition of an mvp. He is valuable. His value made the team more valuable. Jokic was great individually and make his team mates better but they didn't elevate
Shaq I've always liked you but you made a bad choice by opening your mouth now you need to reopen your mouth and apologize
Shaq is just a HATER 🤡 nothing more nothing less 🙄
They need to change the voting pool because that list 1-5 doesn't make sense.
Lil white girl taking over women’s basketball? White dude won the dunk contest? NBA mvp……………..white?????………… TF is going on?!😂
I'm laughing because when we go back in history on these days Boston Celtics are always over looked. Tatum and Brown both deserve an MVP Award. Thats Facts
Feels like a Steve Nash mvp no disrespect
“i don’t like to rain on peoples parades” is probably the biggest lie shaq has ever told
No disrespect to Shaq, but the Lakers 2002 championship was given to them by David Stern and Dick Bavetta. Its only my opinion, I love you brother.
Shaq didn't really care that Shai didn't win it. He just doesn't want Joker or Luka to win it. If Brunson, Edwards won it, he would be happy.
Good conversation
Good job Ernie..
Shaq is way too obsessed with these awards. I can tell. The guy has an ego just as big as he is… and he also shows signs of being racist. I mean come on, dude pulled a Kanye West at the VMAs – "imma let u finish, Jokic, but SGA deserved the MVP over you." There's a time and a place for these opinions, Shaq. You can't hold it in for a few minutes? Really?
Why is it Shaq and Steven A can't respect the fact the Jokic was the best player all season. The racist comments come out of them.
SGA SHOULD OF WON HIS STATS SAY IT ALL IN THE REGULAR SEASON BUT U KNO WHY HE WON SKIN COLOR OBVIOUSLY AINT KNO WAY LOL
Shaqtin a fool award named after this guy for a reason
He wasn’t number 1 in any category….
Shai was robbed idc , youngest squad, #1 seed 57-25 regular season record, 30pts/5asts/5reb cmon man
Brunson not getting any votes is crazy
Luka and Jokic constantly disrespected by Shaq and Chuck. They just don’t watch ball
Shaq still holds a grudge on a nickname…unsurprising he feels this way
Freaking joke SGA deserved this. Being big, tall , and slow qualifies for mvp because he had a good shot and pass
Where was this energy last yr with bum ass embid?
Who tf voted for Giannis??
how could somebody congrat someone who won and u not happy with it??
make no sense at all
It is what it is, it's because he's white.
Shaq right though….SGA should have got the MVP. Team was top, stats was legit.
Shaq always give jokic props but he has a difference of opinion you lames have a issue with it
Finally a take I can agree with Shaq on. Congrats to Joker tho🙏🏽
N-Booooo-A
PART 2 of 2: JOKIC is MVP & the stats don't lie
Again re-read the first stat I began with that is all you need to know about HELPING YOUR TEAM Vs PADDING THE STATS standing under the hoop being a big fat dump truck posing as a BB Player >>> in 19 YEARS shaq posted TWO triple doubles… in less than HALF of that time >>> 9 Years TOTAL >>> Jokic has 168 Trip-Dubs… that isn't even in the same universe let alone the same convo about who the BEST NBA CENTER ALL TIME ever was…
Now, a few years back you could compare him to Oscar Robertson, Wilt the Stilt, and as far as big men go even Kareem Abdul Jabbar… but now you are looking at a player who is destroying records like the ANHIALATION of them in a far far shorter time span & the dude doesn't even care about his stats when all the others were all about the stats… Jokic has so many games where with one more assist or rebound he would have another Trip- Dub… yet he simply does NOT care <<< ALL he cares about is helping his TEAM WIN <<< which IS the reason he plays the way he does & accumulates the stats he does… he is going to make the BEST PLAY he can whether that is an assist, a steal, a block, a 3 pt pr 2 pt FG… whether its an OFF or DEF REB… Joker does not care all he cares about is helping his TEAM win games & so not only are his stats reflective of the all time MVP to his TEAM & the LEAGUE over his entire career… his mindset is 100% MVP- literally he would kill himself before even thinking of padding a stat… bcuz he also does kill himself helping his TEAM trying to win… look at his minutes & games played… he is NEVER off the floor if the game is in contention & a lot of the time when it is not <<< that is infectious & makes all the other players better players for it again MVP quality look at LaShondra all he does is jump from team to team chasing rings like gollum in LOTR… all his team mates exist to make him the "king"… totally NOT the MVP mindset… westbrook is another selfish stat padding imbecile who doesn't care at all about his team & only his money bags & stat padding. Just consider that if the Joker simply keeps up what he is doing now without improving as he enters the PRIME of an athlete's playing time [29- 33 years old] he could finish his career with 300 Trip-Dubs… that will be INSANE & at that point no one even dum dum shaq is going to be able to detract from Nicola's talent hard work & ability… gifts like his come from GOD… if you don't respect & acknowledge that then don't tell me the detractor believes or respects or acknowledges GOD… only the children of satan detract on that kind of level to get everyone persecuting the innocent while they go free for political bribes & even worse get rewarded for their treason, perversions, & crimes! So detractors will detract… but eyes that see the TRUTH, lips that speak the TRUTH, minds that discern the TRUTH & hearts that will NEVER DENY the TRUTH KNOW see & say = AMEN to what should be Jokers 4th MVP in a row instead with his third…
JESUS IS the TRUTH
satan IS the father of ALL LIES & his children the perpetual LIARS, murderers, criminals, traitors & detractors!
END of 2 part comment: JOKIC is MVP & the stats don't lie
Shaq I love you but, you're a clown on this one.
I find it fascinating like Shaq bullied himself through the league. Can’t even give a compliment to somebody who is not like him. You can tell a lot how somebody feels about their own sense of self-worth and how they treat other people. I guess Nicol Jokic is just a joker because he’s not the flavor of the month. Sad
