Giannis Antetokounmpo should now be in the lead for MVP. 🦌

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Just ignore the last 25-30yrs to defend legit questions on MVP voting. Act like these questions came out of thin air just to disparage Jokic. Act like they’ve never ever, ever, had the same questions for non-euro MVPs.

You don't know what you're talking about. You can stop quoting me now.

nikkas crying cause people don’t want a white mean to win MVP for the third time in a row. Boo hoo nikkas. I don’t want Jokic to win, partly because he ain’t never did shyt in the playoffs and partly because he is a white man. I’m unapologetic about the shyt too. Just like Steve Nash shouldn’t have won those MVPs over a black man. Race make some of y’all uncomfortable as fukk. Of course I don’t give a fukk. I rooting for the black man

Ain't no thang about that though.

At least you're honest about not wanting him to win, and not bullshytting like these cats in here trying to be objective.

Disgusting stat-padding to get a triple double. Basketball Gods will end up remembering this. This y'all MVP?

There'd be an entire separate thread created and the pitchforks would be out if Jokic stat-padded this egregiously.

Joel ain’t never getting one, is he?

Analytics is a Ponzi scheme Denver Nuggets stay exploiting to steal MVPs for Jokic.

This breh (John Wilkes) explained it (this might be one of the best takes ever when it comes to Nuggets & Jokic):



Now, look at Nuggets starting 5 being top-10 in Net ratings:



It’s a scam.

This is a highly compelling argument. It doesn't even have to be on purpose, could just be the byproduct of unimaginative coaching. But damn this is hard to disprove

I was hoping you were gonna refer to something different because that post didnt disprove nothing on the data side.

Just a verbose "do you really think they would do that?! "

And I backed that up with the plus/minus stats of those players from other seasons and referenced them against Jokic from the same years (when they were on different teams).

Jokic was still one of the league-leaders whereas the likes of Gordon was ranked 400th.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Besides @Kenny West, it's patently ridiculous to bring up Jokic's teammates as some reflection of how great they are when Giannis' teammates are infinitely better.

No other star in the league has a better support cast than Giannis.
