Same goes for all the other MVP candidates. You think the Nuggets would compete without Jokic and Murray?

Meh, pretty disingenuous, given they're 0-5 when both Luka and Kyrie aren't playing.
Without Luka, but with Kyrie, they're 4-3, which means they're not hopeless without Luka as long as their other star is playing.
Jokic also has like a +20 on/off, while Luka is +8.
I know Luka has been the chosen one for IDK how long, but he hasn't proven himself worthy of winning MVP yet.

Jokić shoots less often but more efficiently, while adding a ton of value (about an additional 10 points per game) as the screen-setting hub of a Nuggets offense

Final points probably something like:
Jokic 920
SGA 580
Luka 550
Giannis 340
Tatum 120

Why not jokic?

Just barely missed having the second ever 2000 pt, 1000 reb, and 500 ast season as well, though that's his own category anyway. But it's also the 4th consecutive season of him leading the league in all of PER, WS, WS/48, BPM, and VORP...which I believe only LeBron and Jordan have accomplished (though Jordan did it for 6 consecutive seasons). Another historic season overall, and one of the best statistical primes we've ever witnessed.
