Giannis shouldn't be in the conversation.

It's only Jokic and Embiid. They've been consistently the two best performers all season. It's only right one of them wins it.
Freak is the league's best player.

Stats and team success there.
Gimmick posters claim that there can only be one player in the ā€œmvp conversationā€ at a time so this don’t matter :francis:
@Left.A1 going out sad, once again.

It was weird how nikkas was tryhardin to sneak Giannis into the race when in reality it been a 2 man race between Embiid and Jokic the last 2 seasons. And out the 3 Giannis is my favorite player but he was a distant 3rd.

They were switching between Giannis and Embiid all season because they didn't want Jokic to win. It was painfully transparent.

Now they're pretending like the playoffs don't mean anything, when it was one of their main talking points they used against Jokic.

If the award is based on value to team success, Bucks had top record and Giannis had another great year......so technically he was as much a contender as the other guys.

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.

There’s a lot one can unpack in this thread.

But the first thing is…

Analytics is a Ponzi scheme?
Do you guys even know what a Ponzi scheme is?

:why:

Where all y'all Giannis stans out now? Where's his defense at? Where's his rim protection at? Where are all the things y'all swear the media were turning a blind eye to for Jokic and not weighing them up for Giannis?

He's only 29 and got the same team.

What's been happening?

Giannis hasn't won a single medal with Greece. For this so called dominant basketball presence, it shouldn't be difficult to win bronze at least somewhere.

Kinda easy to get regular season stats in NBA when they allow you to travel and commit offensive fouls.

Have you seen the Greek team? It’s not that easy to ā€œjustā€ medal lol, this is a weird thing to put on him when he’s the only NBA player on those teams.

He’s been bad. His weaknesses are still glaring, he was never a good 1 on 1 defender but even on help he hasn’t been that good either. He’s also not playing team ball and trying to attack the bucket through 3 defenders. He’s gonna rack up points but it has not been pretty, FTs are still in the toilet as well.
