Do people really want to watch two chicks trying to talk basketball? I mean, I guess if they were really hot the answer would be yes. But only one of them is marginal. Let's have four people up there that know what the hell they're talking about
Jokić will not win the MVP title if he scores 50-20-20 every next game, one Serb simply cannot conquer America and be the best and be twice as good as the others, but the player who will be the best after Jokić will win the title. So Jokić is taken into account only until the moment they vote for someone else and if that other person does not deserve it and is not close to Jokić. If they were to stick to the parameters and not the subjective and biased opinion, Jokar would have been MVP 5 times so far. This has all become pointless…
everybody making and shouting Jokic their love and praises after they influence the whole media to rob him last year's MVP award just to not let him his nth straight mvp
Despite Joker's historic numbers, the SGA for MVP case is also just as strong. SGA gets more points, blocks, as many steals, fewer turnovers, you have to give him the edge on defense and in winning. Shai's been playing without Jalen Williams and OKC's at 17-1 with a +17 point differential!
How is Danny Green on tv? Every single word spoken out of his mouth is just cringe. ‘I feel like Jokic is bored out there’… Nicola Jokic is one of the hardest working professionals in the nba hence where he is, he is incredibly serious when he steps on the court and his highly competitive
It's because the term MVP is misleading, just say best player on team with best record, that would make more sense, but MVP is undeniably Jokic, nuggets are lost without his leadership, presence, and numbers… it's been proven time and time again…. Even the stats prove that SGA would not be as missed by OKC as Nuggets without Jokic

Where is the complication??? Jokic is better in almost everything. Jokic is averaging more rebounds, assist, steals while shooting better from the field and 3. He's 1st in ever advanced stat. Not only is he first but he's on pace to break all the records.
SGA scored more points on average than Jokic, but Jokic averaged a triple double for the season.As long as the MVP AWARD is based on opinion,and not necessarily merit, bias will exist.If Jokic was a sick , megalomaniacal narcissist, and kept the ball for himself most of the time, those extra 5-6 assists could boost his average scoring by 5-6 pts.
I'm a diehard Nuggets fan, since the Mutombo days. For years I've watched the media try to downplay this man and there's a noticeable shift happening in his coverage. I think the NBA has finally decided that his greatness far outweighs his marketability and that he truly doesn't want limelight and to just be left to his personal life when he's not hooping and destroying people for a half decade and counting.
It's amazing how many people need this repeatedly explained: MVP refers to the player who is the most VALUABLE to their team. it does not mean "best player" in the league. Last year, SGA's value most certainly led to their championship. Just like it will this year. Can't wait for everyone to get proved wrong, AGAIN.
I say, move SGA to the worst West team and move Jokic to the workst East time. Let's see who will have a bigger impact. I was analysing a little bit, Thunder had 12 players a few nights ago who had over 6 points and 8 of them over 10 points. Interesting…. 12 players rotation and all of them scored more than 5. INTERESTING!
I don’t understand why how many games you win is taken into account or what position you finish on the ladder , if your the best , your the best voter fatigue? What the hell is that nonsense? Only in America will you hear that crap of your the best your the MVP enough said 💯
Jokic is smoking the league,the ESPN race baters will never give him his true respect and flowers Black folk can't handle that a WHITE guy is the best player on the planet and NOBODY can stop him.

If only Jokic was dark skinned, non-European, and in shape/ripped.
He’d win MVP with half his current stats.
We love Jokic no matter what ✝️🕯️

Flash back comparison;
Remember when Gretzky scored his 91 goals? Then switched to assists maestro?
We are watching that same greatness again!
Joker is unreal. He set that play up before Watson even knew he would cut to the basket.
I'm a diehard Nuggets fan, since the Mutombo days. For years I've watched the media try to downplay this man and there's a noticeable shift happening in his coverage. I think the NBA has finally decided that his greatness far outweighs his marketability and that he truly doesn't want limelight and to just be left to his personal life when he's not hooping and destroying people for a half decade and counting.
We are watching greatest 6 years in a row years from any NBA player in the last 30 years = in row.
Joker over SGA all day everyday and twice on Sunday
Man!!!! Jamal was ridiculous in Memphis leadimg Denver Jamal has been that top level that he's known for being definitely one of the best GO Jamal
Joker is far more skilled than Jordan… take away Jordans elite genetics and athleticism and he would have been a regular guy..
How do you go from joker highlights and then refer to someone else as “the best shooting big man”. The bias is crazy
Jokic the real runaway MVP
Such a shock to see ESPN calling Nikola the MVP. They're the main reason he got screwed in prior years. No one can deny reality forever.
where tf were you on this last year?
They will rob Jokic another MVP. Sad…
Wait. Since 2020 he has most points, assists, rebounds AND steals? Thats a 6 year span. Why exactly we have the narrative that jokic doesnt play D ?
Jokic for MVP and NBA Champion or we Riot.

17 points is not MVP stats not even close you mad brah
The joker is mvp ❤❤
My nuggets going to the finals ❤❤

this should be his 5th MVP the next 5yrs "Jokic" —> MOST DO NOT SEEM TO GET IT he is only going to get better !!!
Take MVP votes outta former players hands. This “voter fatigue” is nonsense
Why are we doing this…mvp conversations in Nov are pointless
There's no doubt. Stop talking about MVP race. We know Jokič is an MVP for the last 5 years.
