MVP or Not. Best Player in the World.
True MVP

Third time MVP! No doubt!
If Denver wins the series it will make Phoenix understand that it takes more than offense alone to win in a tough series
Ayton has no defense at all.
Gentlemen sweep!😂😂
Jokic doing MVP shit while thinking about his horses back home.
Best gig man in the league today!
Suns are in deep trouble
Refreshing to see pure basketball plays and not all this cheating they have to do to score today.
Mavs fan here, supporting Luka's bff and I'm not a super Nuggets fan, but I admire Jokic. I really hope Nuggets continue their momentum and get to the Finals as they and Jokic himself deserve it. His hard work is worthy to be paid off.
FUCKING GOOD
Ayton was like a tree 🌲 throughout the game, dominated
Jokic dominating the playoffs while Embiid can’t even stay on the floor and you want to give it to him?
