59th. Mccain and Kuminga ahead of him

If he would have cured cancer, he would drop out off the m p race entirely and only eligible for the MIP race.

Can’t see him above Curry atm

Did you see what the guy did in 2016?

I understand what Mavs fans mean by the man doesn’t give a shit about garbage time or playing against bad opponents. He could easily pad his stats and get 50+ a few times on this stretch but he just stops trying once the game is sealed lol

You can’t expect people who call him out for bad defense when he’s actually decent to reason with you. Have you seen these shmucks call out joker for being the literal worst defender on court night in and out lmao . Luka this season even, has been the biggest floor raiser while being above average and on a bad day average defender on defense.

Makes it look so damn easy as well.

Second best yeah. Hard to be the best when there’s another guy averaging 2 less ppg on 5% higher TS.

Funny thing is he’s playing good defense for the most part

harden had nineteen 40 point games AND nine 50 point games and he still didn’t win mvp lol

Harden didn’t win MVP in like 3 very similar seasons tbf

They cannot give decide on and announce the MVP award yet because the regular season is not over

He is the best scorer and the 2nd best playmaker in the world. He does create the highest quality shots but Jokic especially with his size can create better offense.

I’ve still got him second to Bam in scoring

Luka is my favourite to win mvp this season but his scoring isnt so impressive. He takes 40 shots a every game. Him being an offensive engine is a much more solid feat in my book.

Yeah, he’s clearly the actual best player in the world right now. It’s just calling a spade a spade.

I’m glad yall are coming to your senses. After he wins it all either this year or next, he should get the respect he deserves.

People mix up MVP with best player (and it actually should more or less be the same thing as I thought Jokic is without question the best last season and should have won). Just because a player gets to play with an absolutely incredible team, and wins a lot, does not mean that the player is better than another with a worse roster. I don’t really understand how that’s not clear. If SGA was in like the Kings, his numbers were exactly the same yet worse efficiency, worse metrics, and significantly worse W-L, is he suddenly not top 5, of course not but apparently its the way things are

2nd in MVP voting

The problem with advanced stats, and I can’t believe this isn’t common knowledge, is the fact that they are like 70% team dependent. It’s not necessarily judging a player in a vacuum and I understand that’s not possible anyway. It just looks at the numbers within a team’s system. It’s not that crazy to understand that a team like OKC will allow their players to have great advanced numbers, because they dominate every team and have crazy +- numbers. I mean look at the defense, you can put Trae Young and even he will have + numbers defensively

they can’t match his scoring. Like, at all.

there’s a difference of like 2 PPG between Luka and Shai and a few more PPG to Jokic lol

he’s got 15 this season lmao

He’s going to be 3rd at an absolute minimum.

Wemby had a press conference this week where he said he should be MVP and it seems like suddenly the media was like “oooooh, you are right!”

It was pretty good. He mostly stayed in front and defended aggressively. He did have a 3 or 4 possession stretch where he was bitching to the refs and didn’t get back on defense, but other than that it was solid.

So Shai in third?

do you have nothing better to do than hate like just enjoy greatness whether its from sga or luka😭

Yeah Shai is 2nd in mvp rn
