    Jokic got the best PR team I’ve seen since Lebron bruh.

    Yep, if you want to be the MVP, be better than the reigning MVP, it is just that simple.

  3. I don’t get why the media is shoving Tatum down our throats.

    Legitimately, Jokic, Luka, Embiid, KD, Steph, Giannis are on a tier higher than Tatum.

    “voter fatigue” is such a stupid concept

  5. ForoaKlanD

    Tbf Luka is putting up good enough stats on good enough efficiency while dragging a bad team that he’s also a deserving candidate. KD as well with all the drama surrounding the team, 29 on 68% TS with elite defense on the second best team in the league.

  6. I know MVP is a regular season award but 3 time consecutive MVP that hasn’t made it to the finals in either of those 3 years just seems weird.

  7. It’s an interesting situation where 99% of league social media and announcers and talking heads are talking about voter fatigue as *the* reason for Jokic not getting a 3rd, but those who actually have a vote have to come up with something else or they should (rightfully) not be taken seriously and even their vote taken away.

    When the ones that explain their MVP vote write their articles, they’ll have to actually say why wasn’t (or why was) Jokic picked 1st on their ballot. I wonder what they’ll say, and how much they’ll mention it being his potential 3rd in row.

    I wish they felt this way towards Giannis, LeBron, and MJ.

    If voters are into advanced stats, then he’s going to win

    If they aren’t, then Luka might have a solid chance if Mavs aren’t too far away in record

  10. realudonishaslem

    If Mavs maintain top 4 seed until the end, Luka will win the MVP. Otherwise, it will be Jokic. Calling it now

  11. RunThePnR

    The reasoning will be Luka taking a worse roster to a top 3-4 seed while putting up 34-9-9 on elite efficiency. Still a long season tho.

  12. hisoka21

    Luka is singlehandedly carrying his team. Mavs is a lottery team without him. That alone makes a great case for him as a great mvp contender

  13. Calibanite_Lion

    To be honest Jokic would prefer if Luka or KD or whoever else won it this season.

  14. TurbulentJudge1000

    Jokic ppg is bad. Can’t win mvp when that far behind in that stats.

    Luka, Embiid, and probably KD if the nets keep up their winning are the top 3 in voting.

  15. Thunder_Gun_Xpress

    When youre in a dick riding contest and your opponent is Jokic fans: =(

  16. TheRicFlairDrip

    Imagine Jokic wins this year again, comes back next season adding DPOY performances every game.

  17. FrankyDeDoo

    Here’s the fun question: Who would you think will be the next American MVP and when?

  18. pahamack

    Honestly, we gotta stop talking about this.

    ​

    Because at this rate we have to start talking about the bigger prize. His team is the top seed in the west.

  19. Unusual_Tangerine_13

    Thought this was Karl Malone at first and I was thinking of the irony

  20. WutduzitallmeanBasil

    This isn’t the presidential election it’s the freakin MVP. If he deserves it at the end of the season don’t be lazy, Malone.

  21. Oh I’m tired from voting for the best player I’ll vote for someone else

    Um okay

    At the moment though Luka and KD are right there with Jokić , plenty of games to go

  22. carnaIity

    That’s the only reason he won his first instead of Giannis winning his third.

  23. DEEZLE13

    If they kept Bron from winnin two more than I don’t think they’ll have a problem keeping Joker from it
