If you play at a MVP level all season and don't play well when it counts the most. That means that MVP didn't mean shyt. What's flawed about that logic?
Jokic is officially the 9th player to win 3 MVP’s
- Thread starter JA_Carter
- Start date
The MVP is a regular season award, that's what's flawed about the logic. Otherwise the votes would be collected in July, not April. There's many factors into why a MVP player doesn't look the part for any given series. Habitual chokers/shrinkers are a different story.

Nothing flawed about it. I didn't say he is not deserving of the award or that it is based on playoff performance.

Nah, he already has a ring and a fmvp and a dominate post season run
Everything is flawed about it. You not staying something verbatim does not get you off the hook for what your sentiment actually is. You clearly believe the award should be based on playoff performance if you use a subpar playoff performance to diminish the validity of the season MVP winner as an individual.

The fact that you have to play a minimum amount of games to get this award is going to be how they justify giving him 4 more mvps
The voters made up their mind around the time Shai got hurt. He qualified for MVP, but the way they were talking on TV, that was the moment he lost whatever chance he had to overtake Joker because so many had Joker winning months ago. I’m not sure if Shannon Sharpe had a vote, but I remember him telling SAS that he was wasting his vote because Joker was gonna win.

Legit surprised he didn't win. NBA been pushing him this year, although he got the personality of drying wall paper.

AVERAGE 30 ON ELITE EFFICIENCY

Jokic is not ending his career with no 7 damn MVPsThe fact that you have to play a minimum amount of games to get this award is going to be how they justify giving him 4 more mvps
Yall love jokic.
I think he's cool.
But bro ain't all that. He's getting by because there isn't any centers in the league.
And hes getting love because he's a nice, non black person.
Shaq was pissed and I wasn't tripping too much until they read the actual results of the votes.
Like that doesn't even make sense unless they was just gonna give him the award no matter what.
IMO, jokic isn't even better than embiid.
In the future we're gonna look back at these 3mvp awards for jokic and we gonna be confused as hell

It's gonna be really telling if Jokic doesn't get to at least 4-5 Finals.. Look at all the players who have at least 3:
Kareem (10 Finals)
Jordan (6 Finals)
LeBron (10 Finals)
Russell (12 Finals)
Larry Bird (5 Finals)
Wilt Chamberlain (6 Finals)
Magic (9 Finals)
Kareem (10 Finals)
Jordan (6 Finals)
LeBron (10 Finals)
Russell (12 Finals)
Larry Bird (5 Finals)
Wilt Chamberlain (6 Finals)
Magic (9 Finals)
"Where's Jamal Murray at? Because I wanna talk to the man of the house"
Russell's league era and his team was a unique circumstance that literally can't be replicated. Magic and Kareem are 2 Top 10ers (really 5ers) who played together for 10 years, that's also unique.
I could nitpick one more but I don't wanna hear the Coli crying so the rest is give you.
3 MVPs is in elite company so yeah you better produce legacy wise
I didn't wanna include Moses Malone (since that went against my narrative lol), but still he has 2 Finals appearances.. Jokic got work to do
