Dray's telling it as it is
Agree with everything he said and I would add we need to wait until after the season and playoffs. There should be no regular season awards. The playoffs are part of the NBA season and separate the best of the best. Example, Giannis had one of the best seasons ever along with Dirk 2011, but neither got MVP because of lame NBA voting practices. Steph last year is another example.
Embiid is not averaging more points
Can you specify what freedom a defender needs?
Luka is the clear MVP front runner currently
Luka is the best PG in the league (including Curry)
Klay is playing at a level that – when Steph and Wiggins return – will be absolutely brutal.
Luka should be MVP, he is quite literally the most valuable player in the league
"Absolutely incredible!" Glad to have him back.
The league still need to implement the requirements/basis to be a MVP. What do the voters go by? How is Tatum a MVP candidate and not J Brown? Should a player been in a MVP candidate if their team is not in the top 6 teams of their conference?
Hey dramaond when u gonna punch another teamate in the face??
bro just say luka
1st in points (34.3)
5 in assists (8.9)
1st in rebounds among guards (8.8)
6 in steals (1.71)
8 in deflections (3.4)
The best defensive rating among point guards
1st in creating open shot in the NBA
1st in Real Plus Minus (9.34, the second is Tatum with 8.98)
1st in PER (32.46)
1st in offensive RAPTOR (11.1)
2nd in total RAPTOR (10.1, second to Jokic and his 14.5)
2nd in RAPTOR WAR (8.5, second to Jokic and his 10.2)
The only player since Wilt in 1962 to make 9 straight 30 points games
Have a top 10 game of all time (60-21-10)
Have a top 10 week of all time
MVP of the month.
He is clutch.
4th seed with inconsistent teammates (They are not that bad, but way too inconsistent)
Luka is the number 1 to me, then there is Jokic.
He is HIM
We know what you did last summer.
Glad to see you back tho!!
Yall remember that time Draymond Clocked Poole?!!
I'd say it's mainly between Luka and Mitchell, those two stand out for sure…
Facts Monndo… All the More Special star like you that beat you to your Spot and beat you to your Mind… KD is Kris Kringle Brooklyn win or loose and your a Jedi
THANK YOU DRAYMOND FOR SPEAKING TRUTH. Defense has gotta be at least a hair bit more prioritized or this league won’t respect defense anymore
Jokic gonna be back to back to back.
Giannis is the mj of this era. There will always be great players but there is always the GOAT that is Giannis
It's just the Luka vs Jokic award this year. Wouldn't even be a debate if the Mavs were decent
I ant gonna lie I can’t do it either this shit might be a Duel mvp race
Respect to you drake 🙌 you was the only player on the warriors who congratulate Lebon when they lose game 7 in the NBA final!! I Respect you for that 💯
Mavs 4th in the west, they make 1-3 it’s a lock for Luka. Absolutely no debate.
Luka is not better..than Jokic check his numbers and the teams record..he's been doing it big for the last two seasons..which he has won MVP ..with out a full roster
Dramond used the future time stone and saw the size of the fine if tells us who should MVP.
He said I'm good😂
Luka will win mvp wit his performance. But no champ again. In my opinion it is a team sport and come playoff in 4 win series the better team wins. In an elimination game all in for Luka. After he got his trophy the mavs will shift strategy to go for the championship. Like Christian wood addition. Interesting that luka needs +15% body fat to be in such amazing shape.
Giannis, Luka, Joker, KD and Tatum. I really wouldn't mind any of those winning MVP. I can't make a decision, it's that close for all of them. Even the 3-man MVP shortlist would be unfair to 2 of these guys, it's crazy.
his teeth are white as HECK
Love your honesty and thought. Shows why you’re on the of the best players in the league. Most of the time lol
Who else wants to know why we should boycott lettuce. Draymond?
Luka is currently playing at the highest level, but for just a hair from Joker… However he will need to continue to play like this… because Jokic will increase his level and Denver will stay first….
Imagine Luka & Jokić in a team… That's a chip guaranteeeeed
Dray💪🏾
I am absolutely incredibly happy that the best, absolutely incredible podcast is back! In saying that, this episode was absolutely incredible. 😂😂 love you Dray welcome back!!
Jokic will 3peat, Nuggs probably 1st seed, possible triple double as avg… Mavs will finish 4-6 and Luka boosted his numbers vs bad teams, mostly vs bad teams. I think direct duels between teams with MVP contenders will decide the race.
Can you talk about Ernes Freedom???
You Have Millions of Dollars man! Buy a fucking camera for Christ’s sake half of your show is frozen damn
0% mentions the last 2 times MVP winner…
Rarely comment but first 5 mins. Dray first 5 mins made me stop and appreciate the game. Appreciate it man
