MVP Discussion [19/20] [part I] - voting reopened

[GSP]

Giannis is going to win the award. His team is great AND he is having a better individual season than any of the other candidates.

Giannis has a better case for unanimous MVP than Curry did in his campaign and that's saying something.

Wow, slow down there buddy

Curry’s season was insane, plus 73 wins

No teammate Giannis has on the Bucks is close to 16 Draymond and 16 Klay is better than every teammate as well.

Iggy off the bench is better than any bench player they have too.

[GSP]

Honestly have no idea when the Bucks are gonna lose.

Would anyone be surprised if they won 30 straight? Bud is about as good as it gets in the regular season as far as coaching

Giannis could def lock up Mvp by the end of the month tho. The Mavs/Lakers games especially are gonna be huge games for the narrative

[LikeABosh]

Still a lot of season left, but it's hard not to see Giannis not winning it. Wins matter too much to the voters

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Giannis has a healthy lead for me. Unless the Lakers do something incredible, like win 70, I can't see LeBron getting it simply because AD is a top 5-7 candidate himself.

[Dupp]

Yeah Giannis is insane. Just spanked the clips. Dude is well out in front

He was good against the Clips but not really dominant. They murked the Clips in the non-Giannis minutes, the bench especially

Still the best player and defender on the court. That and they spanked another contender. That leaves an impression on voters.

[Patches Perry]

Giannis by 5 miles at this point, but remember how important the final month or two are in MVP races. Still way too early to call it.

1. Antetokounmpo
2. Doncic
3. Harden
4. James/Davis

With about 1/4 season done I feel like this is first reasonable spot to look into MVP discussion. You made exactly same list that I would have. Very much Giannis And Doncic leading the charge, ahead of the competition.

AD is making his case for MVP should win the DPOY . Giannis looks like favorite right now

But the MVP competition is much tougher this year imo

[Archx]

Damn, Harden played a lot of minutes already.

Given his defensive impact hasn't been close to Gobert's or GIannis's, and the lakers are not on the level of the buck's defense, that's a dubious claim.

The teams are separated by 0.8 Drtg...

Did you watch the lakers and jazz games this year ?

Have you watched any bucks games this year? There’s a reason why Giannis defensive advanced stats are>>>>ADs

AD isn’t DPOY but he’s probably going to win because he’s a laker

[HeatIn5]

I know he may not win, but asking again for Jimmy Butler to be added.

His VALUE to the Heat should be unquestioned.

Yes. Gobert protects the paint vastly more. Giannis protects the rim nearly as much as Giannis and is vastly more useful in the perimeter


Coinciidentally, metrics consisitently have both of them well ahead defensively.

But AD plays in la so I guess it should be him.

Butler is not even in the conversation.

He should be in the "conversation", if the conversation is larger than the clear top 4 - Giannis, Luka, LBJ and Harden. He is the best player on a team that could finish top 2 in the East. That makes him in the "conversation" for sure.

The top 4 are set in stone however, and Giannis is just playing too good atm and the Bucks are crushing it. The only way i see him challenged is if Dallas continues to be like a top 2 seed in the West... If they remain a top 2 seed, then i believe Doncic will be MVP. The narrative will be too good

[Fico92]

If Giannis/Doncic finish 1/2, will that be first time in MVP history that the winner and runner up are non-Americans?
