Luka has been the baddest dude in the league this year but the MVP isn't just about that. If OKC were in the play in no one would bat an eyelid so from that standpoint SGA is the MVP
Bruh..yall gone just give the MVP to Jokic every year. Smh

Luka and Jokic BOTH have higher numbers than SGA. Jokic deserves it but Luka is def over SGA atm
SGA is definitely the MVP
Look at them last year then look at the jump to this year. SGA have them at a 1seed in the WEST is phenomenal asf .
The nba definitely push narratives, how is Luka not the mvp this year
SAS don’t even sound confident abt his case for shai MVP 😂
SHAAAAAAAI
Luka got kyrie .. Joker Got Murray .. What Star SGA Got !! THE 2nd Youngest Team In The NBA !! They Ain’t Even Suppose To Be HERE ! They Supposed To Be In A Rebuild Right Now .. They Was In Play In Last Year To Being The Youngest Team EVER Finish 1st ! Put Some RESPECT ON HIS NAME ‼️
The fact that this Stephen A guy is a hypocrite guy acting on his own agenda should be clear.
First Jayson Tatum and now SGA? Did he just abandon tatum just because he lost to denver? He is still the best player of the best team. So why not him? Because this guy knows campaigning for tatum won't make Tatum the MVP now. But it just might for Shae.
This guy doesn't really want SGA or Tatum to be MVP. He just wants Joker or Luka to not win it.
He doesn’t even mention Luka again
Stephen A Smith is really putting the race into MVP race.
Disgusting, should have his vote taken away.
SAS doesnt watch games…..i dont know why they let him vote when he doesn't even watch it
The MVP voting poll is a joke , there is no certified unified criteria for MVP. It’s solely based off of what you’re viewing as important.
These comments are hilarious…mvp isn't only about numbers. Unfortunate the criteria changes year to year but to act like SGA isnt deserving for the season he had and getting the 1 seed in the west is ridiculous. Bro is leading the league in steals as well and is a better defender than the other 2 leading candidates
LUKA IS THE MVP
SGA the MVP…
Stop disrespecting luka !!!!
Stephen A: 30.9 points in game-changing from Shai
Luka: That's a bad night for me
isnt it crazy how none of the top 3 candidates are american
Luka and jokic is playing with their 2nd and 3rd options shai dont have an 2nd option because their inexperienced and he carried them to the 1 seed
Good point from Shay
SAS is a clown and it’s obvious why he picked SGA for MVP. I mean come on anybody with 2 working eyes knows Luka is the MVP.
1. Luka 2. Jokic 3. Giannis 4. SGA 5. Brunson
To bad your vote dont count Stephen A.😂
SGA has the first seed in the nba he should get the mvp, go back to how things were without that bs of players on #6 seed winning mvp
Preach on, brother Shannon!
SGA led an inexperienced team to the top of a juggernaut Western conference, cmon… he has to be mvp or runner up.
It's Luka or Jokic
This is stupid dumb and retarded. How the hell is Jalen Brunson not in this conversation. How much more does he actually have to do to have his name mentioned in this MVP race. Like come on son. Sha should be replaced by Jalen Brunson cuz SGA has missed more games than JB on top of that. This is why I say the mainstream media promotes whoever they want to promote and it's annoying as hell which is why I don't hardly watch ESPN anymore
Luka and shai had great seasons but it’s Jokic he not gone lose that media votes
It dont matter who Shai has healthy or injured? Brah no one on his team has been injured all season
luka ain't winning MVP. That's an actual waste of a vote
Brunson ???
LUKA
what aclown
Luka is playing amazing, I get it but SGA and Jokic are playing amazing too and most of all, do not have KYRIE IRVING who is an NBA CHAMPION to help spread the floor and divide attention for the defense. Jokic doesn’t have Jamal Murray and has been in the fight for 1st place in the WEST AND ARE STILL THE FAVORITE. So it makes sense for him to be over Luka in the MVP discussion. But SGA even more so. He literally clinched the 1st seed in the WEST WITH A COLLEGE BASKETBALL TEAM. The average of age of thunder is 22.5… there are teams in college that are actually older. SGA is the MVP bro. That is literally the definition of VALUE.
Pls take away again MVP from Jokic, and when Denver win championship they gona eat those words.
SAS knows nothing about basketball
