Who do you think wins MVP this season? (2025-26 NBA MVP Discussion Thread)

Pretty massive game for Joker in the scheme of things. Considering how historic SGA and the Thunder have been, to be only 4.5 games back is huge for Denver.

Hopefully we get a few more games like OKC v SAS and HOU v DEN. Great to watch.

Spurs and Thunder will be matching up a few more times in the next couple of weeks and the Rockets will get a chance at revenge, this Sunday in Denver

It was def a big win for Jokic's case, because if the Nuggets are 10-15 games back like they were last season, It has to be SGA. If the teams are closer, the debate gets more interesting

If Denver can stay within 5-6 games of OKC while Braun and Gordon are out then it's a very tight race

Joker’s stats is still getting better if you think last season is already at the height nobody could touch… this is insane

OKC is 6-1 against >0.500 teams DEN is 8-1.

When someone claims SGA deserves MVP, the argument starts and ends with team record. When someone claims Jokic deserves MVP, the argument starts and ends with him having arguably the best individual season in the history of the NBA. That’s the difference.

Point of basketball is to win, so Jokic cant have the best individual season if he's worse at the very point of the game than SGA is.

Yeah for some reason the Nuggets have some, I guess you could say concentration issues, when it comes to some bad teams.

They were "regular season swept" by the Bulls and the Wizards last season as well.

OKC's floor is just higher than them when it comes to regular season as the Thunder very rarely lose to bad teams. The last truly bad regular season loss I can think of for this version of OKC is probably March 1, 2023 against the 12-48 Spurs. You don't see it a lot.

Anyway, my vote is currently switched back to Jokic. I still had this as a somewhat three man race looking at the MVP odd themselves too, but I just can't include Luka here anymore looking at this body language and the Lakers winning every clutch game imaginable. That should regress to the mean at some point.

This isn’t tennis.
