Really?

I'm saying Jokic is the first to have a 2,000 pt. / 1,000 reb. / 500 ast. season. Tell me who has done that before.
Westbrooks mvp is constantly criticized, this is no different.

Yes I did and you brought up that Denver is the one seed in a dog shit underperforming conference. It’s funny to me that last year’s narrative winning didn’t matter but this year a big part of the argument is that he’s the one seed.

The real MVP is Giannis.

Read comment # 25,089 and you'll see why I mentioned Jokic.

thunderc's comment about a real MVP. Jokic did something last season no player has ever done. To say he wasn't the real MVP is crazy.

I disagree. A 6 seed should never produce the MVP of the league. That’s not the team’s most valuable player. That’s the LEAGUE’s most valuable player. They were destined to be an also ran as a 6 seed. His MVP last year was fugaze.

Tell me who's the other player that's had a 2,000/1,000/500 season like you claimed in comment # 25,103.

Reality is embiid missed a lot of games last year and that likely what cost him to the voters. Had he played another 5-7 games then i think he wins the mvp

Yeah okay. You've done nothing but try to ridicule NJ's game nonstop for a third consecutive year.

Last year he did something no player had done.

And this season he has a chance to average a trip-dub while shooting better than 60% from the field. Something else that no player has done.

But he's a trash player right?

Played a career high in games last year. He is never going to win MVP. NBA media will never forgive the Sixers for The Process. You watch. He’ll be 2nd team All NBA again.

This comment applies more to 2021 than 2022.

That's my beef with him. I have no problem with him thinking Embiid should have won but to act like Jokic is some regular ass player to get your point across is where he lose me

Nice straw man. Only time I’ve used the word trash in describing Jokic is when we’re talking about his defense and the fact that he is the number one target on the opponents scouting report going into every playoff series.

Unless things change, he is rightfully 3rd or 4th in NBA voting currently.

I never called him a regular ass player unless I’m talking about his defense because…spoiler alert…at the defensive end he’s a regular ass player.

That’s MVP ladder right? I haven’t seen anything predicting all NBA. Do you have a link?

Jokic is anything but trash. The numbers pretty much back that up...
Good thing I never said that he was.

Hey @Wamu go fuck yourself. You create some straw man putting words in my mouth and now there’s two other posters posting like I said Joker is a trash player.
