So you think Shaq and/or Kobe could have taken a team with Will Barton and Aaron Gordon as their next best options to the 2nd round?
I think MVP Shaq could very easily take Aaron Gordon and Will Barton to the second round, yes
Very easily is a bit of a stretch. Shaq always more or less needed reliable SG/PG's to feed him the ball and also shooters that he could kick it out when he was doubled. Jokic on the other hand is the exact opposite. He actually needs competent people that he can pass the ball to when he is creating offense.
I'm not trying to argue who is a better player obviously but i'm not sure Shaq could have just easily carried this team to the 2nd round. Specially because you can't use elbows anymore like in the past.

The only human beings making these votes are:
Exclusive media staff members that are selected by NBA executives. There isn't a criteria on how a media member can be an NBA award voting member.
There also aren't consistent parameters set on how to awards, and make all-NBA teams.
Players, coaches, GM's, etc. having an input on these awards makes sense to me.
All good (for me).
Congrats to Nikola.
Hell of a season, and (short) postseason. Hes really **** good at basketball.
I hope he enjoys it with his family and friends like he said he would.

Embiid is not real MVPJoker beat him in almost every category. Learn to read the stats before posting.

Oh well, Jokic just needs his own Middleton and Jrue and maybe he can start winning championships too.
Congrats to the true MVP

Honestly, look at these terrible postseason numbers.
If you're going to have twice as many MVPs as Shaq or Kobe I'm gonna hold you to a pretty high standard. Stats aren't enough. Great regular season player
Utter silliness and a lazy, boring take.
Last time Jokic was on a healthy squad he humiliated a stacked team led by Kawhi Leonard and went to the Western Conference Finals.
Fans like you called Kobe a loser when he was on a garbage squad in between Shaq and Gasol. Was Kobe elite, and then bad, and then elite again? Or was he just always elite and the team changed around him? Shaq didn't win multiple MVPs because he too often chilled in the regular season. Kobe came close to winning multiple but there were just other great players. Neither Shaq or Kobe ever put up a regular-season performance like this. You need a squad to beat good teams in the playoffs (ask Michael Jordan about how his playoffs went pre-Pippen and Grant). Jokic's squad sat this season out with injuries. God permitting they'll be back healthy next year and Denver will be a playoff threat.

He is right. Jokic has anger management issues and can't be on the floor during key defensive plays, but hey advanced stats say he's an elite defender.Castle Black wrote:
