seriously? giannis by a landslide? MVP has almost always went to the best player on the best team.. by that alone, the bucks has to be one of the top 4 teams after 82 games for him to win MVP. so are we really putting the bucks a group with warriors, rockets, cavs, thunder? he would have to put up westbrook like numbers for him to win MVP. westbrook won MVP last year because of his triple double.. if the thunder was 6th seed and he avg'd 20/7/7 i dont think he'd win.

LMAO, you can bet they're in the top with the Thunder. What a dumb statement putting the Thunder in the top 4 lol.

Durant and Curry are basically out of the race because the Warriors would be fine without either one of them. James Harden only plays one side of the ball and it doesn't help that his poor leadership skills have come to light recently. The Thunder don't have an MVP candidate because Westbrook's numbers will decline and Melo and PG just aren't MVP caliber players, especially on that roster. Lebron, Leonard, and Giannis should be the main options.... but Giannis is the sexy pick. He could end up averaging 30, 10, and 5 while playing great defense. It's not hard to imagine Milwaukee as one of the top teams in the East.

It's going to be Leonard. Best record and the best player on the team.

If Giannis goes 30/10/5/2/1.5 on a Bucks team that wins 50 games, its going to be tough not to vote for that.

They're 4-0 not 40-0 and Kawhi could be out for a while.

GA is good but damn I didn't think he would garner this many votes.

No chance it'll be Giannis. The Bucks aren't going to finish above .500 this season, which pretty much precludes an MVP.

So you think the Bucks are going to miss the playoffs in the East....? Don't be a clown. I would LOVE to hear you name 8 teams in the East who are better than the Bucks. You're trying to make a bold comment and you ended up sounding like a dumbass.

Cavs, Celtics, Wizards, Raptors, Hornets, Pistons, Heat are all better. They could sneak into the playoffs but the 8 seed in the east will likely finish with about 40 wins.

So far Milwaukee has played Boston (x2), Cleveland, Atlanta, Charlotte and Portland and have a 4-2 record. With the exception of Atlanta, not exactly a cupcake schedule to start off with and they haven't looked too bad. I don't see Charlotte, Detroit or Miami finishing ahead of Milwaukee this year and I think they could edge out Toronto for a top 4 seed.
