Dread it, run from it, Nikola Jokic in top 3 mvp rankings still arrives.
Oh this sub is not gonna like that lmao
How is Giannis still so high ? makes no sense
I Aint Heard Øf Møst These Name Where Westbrøøk LeBrøn
Do they come out with these everyday now?
Jokic should be 1 imo
I understand how great jokic is playing and the situation his team has gone through but there’s no way this man should win 3 consecutive mvps without finishing top 2 in his own conference 1 time during that reign .
My conspiracy theory is that everyone outside the top 3 doesn’t matter and they just shuffle it around to bait engagement
Ja above Zion 🧐
Ja quietly moving up the ladder
Embiid’s gonna have to average 40 before these guys even think about putting him top 5
IMO Joel Embiid is kinda low
Giannis is kinda High
Jokic should either be 1 or 2
Ja Morant abit high but they just got the best record in the west so idk
Rest is kinda fair IMO
Why does nba love ja soo much bruh
Maybe I’m biased, but how is Spida not on this list at all? He’s having a career year so far on the 3rd best team in the East.
Not saying he should win by any means, but since the MVP is about stats this these days, he should at least be top 10
Luka tied with Zion is hilarious when you compare the numbers. If you are going on just pure stats it should be Luka but obviously winning should play some role in MVP.
(Tough to pitch how you are the most valuable player when your team might miss the play-in)
TATUM 😎
Suck it mavs fans
Jokic having the best season so far imo. I know they don’t like to let a guy 3 peat without a championship but he’s so much better than last year it’s insane.
Durant should be top 2 at this point
Shout out to my man Ja , that guys nothing but fun to watch
Giannis over jokic is a joke
Great, Luka is not a frontrunner anymore. Can we tank now?? Lmao.
damn tatum still #1, surprised
It can’t be stressed enough how reputation based Giannis’s rankings in nearly everything I’ve seen this year is and its really annoying
Jokic for the back to back to back MVP!
How could AD be this low? Last 30 days he avg 32pts, 14 rebs, 3 ast, 1.5 stl, 2.5 blk on 65% fg 85% FT.
He absolutely on fire.
dread it, run from it, Jokic’s MVP climb still arrives
So is it now the Michael Jordan Kia MVP Award
No way is Giannis above Jokic when he gets blown out by 50 points. And Tatum doesn’t exactly make his teammates better, which I think is the most important characteristic for MVP.
Jokic for MVP.
Wow. Jokic top 3 once again. I was expecting guys like Luka or Ja to take that 3rd spot. MY MAN
Basketball references tracker has Jokic solidly in first place now, Luka 2nd. Very different from nba.com’s atm.

Idk how Jokic isn’t ahead of Giannis at this point in the season tbh
Fuck it, just give Jokic MVP now
Well looks like rankings>>>>stats/actual plays otherwise two best player of this season clearly Luka and Steph.
Hopefully Denver win the West and Jokic win another MVP instead of overrated players like Tatum and Morant (lmao)
Fuck you again Mark Cuban. Fucking asshole still built this trash team for Luka’s 5th year
My top5 btw
Luka-Steph-KD-Giannis-AD
Luka gets shafted because his team is G league quality
Death, taxes and Jokic MVP. Collision course.
Don’t care. Still not betting money on them
