Honestly, he’s been great but I’m surprised – maybe I’m just starting to get used to how impressive he is. After seeing the post game interviews the other day (I wish we’d heard from JDub, if anyone has that clip please drop it in the comments!) it’s hard not to be stoked for the culture of the team. TTFU

How many times the player reached 65 games:
(List is based from articles mvp ranking)
1. Jokic – 8
2. Embiid – 2
3. Doncic – 4
4. Tatum – 5
5. SGA – 3
I’m all for SGA, but its Jokers to have
Jokic is set up for another run, I can’t deny it at all. But showing respect where it’s due is important, and SGA 100% deserves the nod. Love to see it.
It’s crazy cause in the most recent game against the Cavs he would’ve had a career high if those 2 And1s didn’t get thrown out by the refs. He could’ve easily had close to 50.
I really hope that game was the wake up Shai needed to start being consistently at that next level. 43 on 15-22 in insane.
Think SGA is playing better than Taytum right now, on par with him, Steph, and Ant. Maxey close behind. Luka is still dominating the ‘shooters’ though and Jokic then Embiid just make it impossible to favor anyone else if they stay healthy and consistent
Curry not being Top 5 is wild to me.
We are going to need a media narrative for him to win one, wouldn’t be this year anyway, joker’s to lose. Feel like he will need a deep play off run, then come back next year with same or better level of performance then he might be able to nab one. Sorta like KD did.
Now imagine if he finally gets his calls from the refs, we might see peak harden numbers 😮💨
I’m surprised SGA is in there over Ant. They have very similar stats, but Minny looks like a big breakout team and Ant’s defense is incredible.
