The real MVP is hurt. That’s seen in the vast difference between the Sixers with and without Embiid. Without Embiid the Sixers are fighting for a play in seed. They’re the Bulls or the Hawks.
There’s enough data now to confirm that Jokic isn’t the difference there as much as Jamal Murray is the difference there. When Murray is on they’re a championship contender. Murray is that team’s closer in the playoffs.
He got his, plus the team is still winning games against good teams. You know like yesterday. You can’t be the mvp if you aren’t on the floor.
And that’s why he won’t win an award. But in reality he’s the real MVP. The Sixers play .700+ ball with Embiid and play sub .400 ball without him.
I’m pretty sure it’s still KDs mom
So we just going to give Jokic every year the rest of his career when he avg somewhere around 25/12/9 as long as Denver is a top 4 seed? Crazy how he is the only player in nba history where they don’t use the voter fatigue bullshit excuse. When LeBron and Giannis did this then they intentionally stopped making them win
Had his team exceeded expectations big time.
Honestly the list is too long. Beat Denver in Denver twice for one.
It simply matters not where anyone was supposedly ranked 2 months ago. Voters start educating themselves as voting day gets closer.
I’m not sure why that initial “order” has anything to do with anything right now. The “MVP Ladder” nonsense is just stuff on NBA social media designed to garner clicks, get discussion, and get interactions. It has no real meaning.
Every bit as much as Joker lost all by himself I guess.
Is this the rule for Joker as well? Cause without Jamal Murray he leads his team to a 5 or 6 seed and a first round exit. With Jamal Murray closing games, Denver goes to the WCF in the bubble and then an NBA title.
