Jokic was clearly mvp this year, even in the regular season. But the nba media has some dumb unwritten rule about 3 straight mvps. Even Malone won a pity mvp over jordanRoadDawg55 said:
The only problem with that is they would always give it to the best player from the team that won the trophy.haie said:
I'm saying an MVP trophy for NBA regular season, where superstars take themselves out of stretches of games, isn't even worth getting upset over.Kaepsknee said:
Totally on board with your 2nd paragraph. But help me understand the first. Do you believe that Embiid was the legit MVP?haie said:
Sure, if you're a Noogget like Salem-KKKeizer and that's your argument, then fine.AtomicDawg said:
Less social justice although some commentators mentioned it. The bigger reality was more fatigue from giving it to a guy 3 straight years. It's why players like shaq, Jordan, Duncan, and lbj have less mvp's than they should.RoadDawg55 said:
When was the social Justice screw job? This year? Jokic is better than Embiid but averaging 33 on a 54 win is MVP worthy.Kaepsknee said:
He always was something. But it took 2 MVP’s, a social justice screw job and a Championship run for most to notice.RaceBannon said:When I first saw Jokic a few years back I called him a beer league center. As a compliment really. He didn't look the part but he was the guy in the pick up game with a beer gut who had all the skills and you'd wonder how the fuck he was so good
He's really turned into something
But the NBA isn't giving Embiid the trophy just because he mildly whined a year ago and Kendrick Perkins thinks the voters are too white.
I mean, if Lillard gets drafted by the 76er's or Knicks he probably has one MVP. It's not a serious thing and neither is the regular season.
Give the MVP at the end of the playoffs. You don't have to win it to get the award, but let's include the part of the season where guys are sacrificing themselves and playing defense.
Because we aren't giving the trophy to players on non-plauoff teams anyways. -
I'm picking Denver tonight.

I think Denver wins it all

I don't watch much regular season any more and even less Nuggets. I saw them lose to the Lakers in the bubble when Jokic was up and coming and that's about it.
So I was like yeah how could this guy be a three time MVP? Now I know
I previously thought the bitch ass white boy in Dallas was the white supremacist in the league but no.

The VanGundys as a spin-off to Shaq, Kenny and Chuck would be good fun.
