Jokic MVP he got stats no one ever had top 3 big man
I just donβt understand how these guys can be so decided that Sga is the mvp. For me itβs not even close, JokiΔ is literally unguardable and is putting together the greatest season of all time statistically. How does that not win you the mvp?
SGA has been phenomenal! just Jokic is on another level, lets all be honest
Perk you need to wake up lol. Are you serious?
"Warriors didnt beat contending teams" are you high bro?
Warriors have beaten Okc, Knicks, and Rockets and have better w/l against them. They also beat Celtics and 1-1 currently in the season.
This guy works for espn but have no clue what he's talking about. Smh.
SAS just put Jokic as a top 5 Center of all time which is laughable π
SGA gets no marketing or coverage from all platforms, I've never seen a highlight reel of him till this day and I follow this game regularly.
They been cheating players out that award for the longest π so who cares itβs all politics
Stimulus package is wildπ
Grand dragon Smith and racist perk will never vote for a white guy…even though jokic is having his best season
Btw grand dragons first take …name me the only player that had a 30/20/20 game in NBA history… these two are the reason racism exists
Reminder that ESPN, especially Stephen A and Kendrick, had already decided last October that they would award SGA the MVP this year before the season started. Itβs not an actual analysis, itβs who they want to have it.
5:09 "It's not, its not" Its really not πClose to 30ppg tripple double for the season?? fk outta here
Shay Shay donβt wanna know what the Knicks did to Denver this seasonβ¦ twice
People need to understand the MVP is not the same as The Best player in the world. MJ, LeBron and Kobe would of had way more if that was the case. SGA is the mvp.
There is like 15-20 games left in the season. What if SGA takes a dump or gets hurt? How can you say the MVP is over only 75% way through the season?
Joker > SGA, voter fatigue can get shae the mvp, but Jokic has improved on last year
yeah shan
SAS just lost SGA the MVP !!
Didn't Thunder beat Denver the day before π€
I hope Lebron is paying Shay Shay well to defend him like that!
Idk who worse SAS or Perkins…get them on comedy central.
Molly is getting fat
I wonder if SGA is happy with a pitty MvP
You can vote for whoever you want, but once again, it won't be an American getting MVP.
If you give Jokic another mvp, are you agreeing hes greater or equal to the rest of these MVPs? Im not even sure he should have more MVPs than Steph. No one on this list has less than 2 titles, Jokic has 1.
LeBron James β 4
Wilt Chamberlain β 4
Larry Bird β 3
Magic Johnson β 3
Stephen Curry β 2
Tim Duncan β 2
Pls don't owe Joker another Mvp again. SGA has his time to build a dynasty in the short future and he does not need a MVP out of mercy which dishonor both of the greatest players at this time and the Mvp title.
Mvp is the performance in the season but not the history record or a reward for a "Mvp-rookie". Stop considering too much and focus on the statistic.
How does Shannon know basketball more than SAS & Perk π
Why blacks hate on Joker? Joker not even born in the US ππ. That shows how racist black people are
"That brother" and Jokic is not "that brother"
