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
It is elite company, but 3 of the 7 players had circumstances that won't be replicated.

Kareem had 5 MVPs before even getting a 3rd Finals appearance. We'd have to see how each seasons play out before trying to smudge Jokic for not making 4 or 5, though he probably will.

I expected shai not to win. He was an unexpected candidate going into the season so he's still new to the game... I guess?

Now that everyone knows who he is. He'll be a top candidate next year while Giannis, jokic get voter fatigued

It's the Anthony Edwards, Luka doncic, and Shai show until the spurs put a competent team around wemby and then it's /big boss

Giannis's voter fatigue has or should be worn off. He only has 2 and that was 4 years ago, which will make a 5-year gap next season.

They robbed Shai.

Man took a team that wasn’t in the playoffs last season to the no1 seed whilst averaging 30pts.

Jokic’s team was the no1 seed last year but dropped to no2 this season & his numbers are worse this year than last year.

It just shows the guy is more of a media creation & he gets more passes than any star player in recent history.

Has any players ever won 3 MVPs as 6th, 2nd & 3rd seeds whilst being below average defensively?
NOPE

They always force them to certain players when they can.

Nash back to back

Bird 3 years in a row (only person to EVER do this)

They tried to give Jokic 3 in a row.

I'm so surprised they haven't forced one to Luka by now.

Would've voted for Shai. Ant received less votes than he deserved as well.

1. no issues with jokic getting. just because it's a very exclusive club to get 3 MVP's doesn't mean jokic shouldnt get it. Arguably should have been his 4th tbh

2. Shai and luka were deserving as well. Could've gone to anyone

3. Tatum not ever really being in the running because he's "boring" or "hasn't gotten over the hump in the playoffs" is beyond stupid. His teams are usually always at the top of the conference, and he's the main reason why

4. shaq is a classless, petty, insecure bytch
