Jokic should win the offensive player award. He’s the mvp for offense but his record isn’t better and he’s not ever going to be all defense
Thank you Monica for stating what the general public already knows!! Taking Jokic for granted, if he doesnt win the MVP it will be a crime.
Jokic doesnt have a story because the media hasnt made one for him and media hates him
Was Cade really hurt
Monica mcnutt is so unbearable to watch Jesus can someone please hire ANYONE ELSE. Between her and that bald girl they’re making espn unwatchable
Hornets higher chance to win the east than the Cavs 😂
Hornets over cavs?
Cleveland will NOT beat the hawks in the playoffs lol you heard it here first
Jokic is the best player ! Hes the only one that can do everything flawlessly! We are truly under appreciating him
Get greenie his own show or replace him at this point!!!!
NBA needs to create an offensive player of the year award.
I think the Denver Nuggets may go all the way and win it all .
Westbrook should have 4 MVP’s by now if triple double is all we care about!!
SGA overrated, Jokic under-appreciated, Lebron outdated…. Lakers in 🖐️
YES JOKIC IS BEING UNDERRATED!! Every analyst is like SGA or Wemby, meanwhile Jokic has WAY better overall stats and Nuggets are 3rd in the West.
26 games with more turnovers than field goals is the craziest stat I ever seen for a superstar in playoffs
Man Westbrook was and still is that dude 🔥
Unappreciated? All the media does is praise him.
They be giving away all his awards
Jokic is the most valuable player right now in my opinion.He leads the NBA in assists and rebounds while putting up 27 a game Amazing!
The Cavaliers did nothing wrong by going all-out to beat Atlanta last night. While they should want to enter the playoffs healthy, they also want to be playing their best basketball. Also, Atlanta has always been a tough matchup for them; if anything, I imagine they had a mind to keep them out of the playoffs and that first-round series against them. Trying to avoid being on the same side of the bracket as Boston, that’s a loser move. As Goodwill said, there is no easy path for any team. Best to prioritize playing as well as you can, not tanking games to ensure a matchup.
Oh, and the headline for this video is deliberately misleading and the analytics stuff is for gamblers. Actual fans know.
Leading in ast and REBS in same season never before done. Leading in asts one season and rebounds another season never been done before. He will never be replicated.
Why pump everyone up about the last two games Denver plays? OKC has clinched 1st seed, Spurs 2nd seed, doubt they'll be playing all of their dogs. If Lakers lose tonight (a good probability), Denver probably resting guys too. See you in the playoffs.
Charlotte hornets and atalanta are the dark horses teams on the east gonna be excerealting gona be a epic quarter final Hollywood bust up probably gonna be the best playoffs after 7 years get your popcorn out
The problem is Harden disappearing in the playoffs.
What people don't realize is this is the closest mvp race in recent memory, it's just narratives are undefeated, these last 2 games will determine who the actual mvp is between Jokic, SGA, JB and Wemby (if he comes back)
Vincent goodwill be talking like the Pistons have done anything yet 2nd round exit bro
They've beat the Pistons before. They haven't beaten the Celtics. Only makes sense.
People are really sleeping on Minnesota vs Denver. I am certainly no fan on the Timberwolves but I have seen those two teams match up 4 times a years over the last 3 years. These teams are always fighting to the very end when they match up.
I think the NBA as a whole is underestimating the effect of the Northwest Division and having 8 games a year against Denver/Minnesota/OKC. These 3 teams have been beating each other up for 3 years straight.
If the injury bug didn’t bite the Lakers then they would’ve still been in the 3 Seed and Denver would have to face OKC in 2nd round. Now they get to face SA in the 2nd and I have always said their lack of experience will be the death of them. So Congrats Denver you got both lucky and Healthy at the right time.
Take SGA off the Thunder, they still make the playoffs.
Take Jokic off the Nuggets, they are a lottery team
Draftkings believe in James Harden 😂😂😂
Y'all were literally just down on Cavs. Just throwing narratives against the wall to see what sticks😂 Cavs should most def. want the 3rd to face Toronto. Raptors are putting fear into nobody😮
So Russell can get 38 triple doubles and still I don’t remember him being top 5 in mvp voting when playing for the wizards 🤮
Yeah Cavs are definitely “tempting the basketball gods” by winning 4 in a row 😂 stop bringing these people on to make up fake narratives
Lol were not going to have anything in common
Hornets 9% to win the east, ahead of Cavs 😂😂😂 Noooo. I love the hornets but that's a white elephant dream
They talk about him everyday how is overlooked
