  1. It feels like Jokic has not won an MVP only because it would be a third in a row which is ridiculous

  2. Jokic could have easily been the MVP this year and it would have been well deserved. He probably didn’t win it for a couple of reasons though.

    This would have been his third in a row and Embiid is a new face for mvp unlike Jokic and Giannis. Furthermore the Nuggets had a stretch of bad games after the all star break when it seemed like they took their foot of the gas. Lastly Joel dominated the head to head match up. I personally don’t like that he didn’t play in the other one but it is what it is.

    Whether you agree with these reasons or not is another question. MJ and Lebron could and probably should have more mvps and all time greats like Kobe, Hakeem and Shaq only have one mvp while Steve Nash has two. Other greats never won mvp despite outstanding careers and seasons, D-Wade comes to mind.

  3. This year proves that Jokic cannot do it alone, even though he's the real MVP !!
    Imagine if Murray was healthy and available last year … Nuggets have legit chance to be champions !!

  4. Durant always going to a best team and some how, seems to not get a next ring.😂😂😅😅

  5. Thought Durant was force to reckon with but he's average, on the other side Jokic is Mr slow, smooth and deadly

  6. The superteam guy got super knocked out again! Durant will be the greatest player who could never build his own team.

  7. Joker the only person who should be MVP! And LOL, bye bye KD, can’t dick ride this team to a ring 🤣🤣

  8. its similar to MJ. let karl malone have MVP trophy, im gonna get that ring instead. we will see if in the finals will meet Phila vs Denver.

  9. It’s funny how the cover photo of every game before this was KD or Book except this one where it had to be Cam Payne

  10. Its a shame Suns werent at full strength… But it is what it is, acquiring kd and not winning it all is a bust year.. Times winding down on Paul.

  11. U guys need to wake up, Nuggets has no chance for championship, mark my words, it will be another Sacramento kings vs lakers match, just watch all match from both lakers and nuggets, pay attention on freethrow given and situation foul call from referee, u guys can start counting how many freethrow and fouls call on the final soon… 😊 it’s lakers dude… no chance… not difficult to predict the result after 40 years of watching NBA, European team leader 😂, NBA had already fix which team to win, it’s a nice run… it’s fun to watch… championship… dream on 😂 unless they won by a mile… if it’s near… then it’s gone
