What determines the order of the players on this list? There seems to be some bias from whoever created the poll.

Jokic can't be MVP if Nuggets don't win at a much higher percentage that what they've done so far this season.

Could there possibly be a less important poll?

"Who has been the best player since Wednesday?"

Realgm is becoming a reason I stop clicking on to realgm.com (after all these years).

It's all pretty much obvious even if fluid and not constantly one over another etc
1. Jokic 26/8/11
2. LeBron 25/7/7
3. Embiid 29/2/10
4. Kawhi 26/5/5
5. Durant 29/5/7
6. Giannis 27/6/11
7. Lillard 29/7/4
8. Other Beal? 33/5/5 but team is a bottom dweller and Harden w 24/11/6 has not played much until recently so those stats will come down too.

Best team standing at the current moment so it has to be Embiid.

Embiid has already missed a few games and he's going to miss more. Besides, the best player so far has been Jokic. That has to be taken into account.
