Could soon be the 3 time defending MVP. Hard to argue otherwise...
The MVP award doesn’t establish who the best player in the league is. Additionally, the best player in the league isn’t likely to be a one way player.

3 consecutive is a pretty high indicator, like it or not. He's certainly in the discussion.

That’s why this process is fugaze. It’s just natural that people are going to want to conclude such things based on a popularity contest. Giannis is the best player in the league. Jokic isn’t even the best at his position.

Jokic? LOL.

He is a great player but no way the best in the NBA.

Why is that a LOL? He's definitely up there.

In my opinion any one of the top 5 players has a shout at being the best in the league,

Didn't he already play for the Sixers?

He's young but he doesn't really have a high ceiling
Yep. He gave them good minutes backing up Embiid. He’s only needed to play about 10-12 playoff minutes per game. I’m just looking for someone to play that role that isn’t going to be -10 to -14 in non-Embiid minutes. It’s long been a thing with the Sixers come playoff time. When Embiid goes off they just bleed leads.

I figured that was the reason you guys got Dewayne Dedmon

No way? He is an amazing player and one of the best in the game. The list is very short of players who can be considered the best this season

Yeah I dont see whats so funny. The 3 players who you can put #1 this season imo are Jokic, Embiid, and Giannis

Giannis is better, it's a Mr fraud list.

In your opinion. He is about to be the 3x MVP for a reason.

The top of the list is fine. They could have went elsewhere for 14th and 15th imo

The best player in the league isn’t popping up as bullet point one in a scouting report in a playoff series for who the opposing offense attacks.

Towards the other end, there are likely a few guys that could be subbed in, but really those 12 aren't a bad attempt as the top 12 currently (order is always an argument).
