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

[Doranku]

I suppose 10th might be in play, sure

I would have him 5 or 6 right now

I mean how can you argue with a 2.0 BPM and a +2.0 on/off. Those are almost Ajay Mitchell numbers!

Honestly, would Booker even crack the rotation for the Thunder right now? Like he has better numbers than 3 of their 6 guards, but not by much and he would also be the worst defender on the entire team.

I feel like it might be a Bradley Beal with the Clippers situation where if you bring him in you have to play him because of the name value, but I’m not convinced Booker would actually be a top 5 or 6 guard on the Thunder, let alone a top 5 or 6 player in the **** league.

Iggy is being harsh, but there’s some truth to what he’s saying.

Booker is a guy who go can score a bunch of points on ok efficiency if given the opportunity, but he doesn’t bring ANYTHING to the table if you’re not featuring him on offense. Very one dimensional player.

On a team that can already score, like the Thunder, what exactly does he for them?

Don't agree with this at all, Book was very efficient and productive in his supplementary role for team USA. He proved he doesn't need to be featured on offense to be effective. He'd be a great fit alongside SGA/JDub, so many easy looks.. and the Thunder obviously have the personnel to hide him on defense. Y'all act like he's Cam Thomas or something.

[AleksandarN]

Hmm. With CB out for almost 2 months Jokic will have to carry more? Will the injury affect the nuggets record. I honestly think Jokic numbers and usage might go up.

First off, can we quit pretending all these declining guards like Ja, Trae, and Booker are the same players they were 2 years ago?

And secondly, who cares if Booker managed to play defense like he gave a **** for 132 total minutes in the freaking Olympics. That doesn’t mean he’s likely to replicate that in the NBA after 10 full seasons of being **** defensively in the league. We have a larger sample of Dennis Schroeder being the #1 option on the world champions than we do of Booker being able to play passable defense.

I just can’t see any role Booker could play on the Thunder where he wouldn’t make them worse. It was harsh to compare him to Beal who completely wrecked the Clippers when he was on the floor, but I think even in the best case for Booker he still makes OKC at least slightly worse if he’s on their roster.

If THJ starts for Nuggets, Jokic assists are about to go up, because unlike Braun, THJ is not afraid to shoot.

[HotRocks34]

Jokic hurt his left wrist. Questionable vs MIN.

If Jokic stats load managing and Shai doesn't, gotta give it to Shai.

Sad turn of events.

[Wallace_Wallace]

Just a quick glance at their other game, fcking MPJ has 7 assists before the end of the 1st half against the Magic?!?!?

He might have a triple double since he’s a decent rebounder

Stats load manage lmaoooo

[One Last Shot]

Could be the start of an incredible run by Curry. 47.5 ppg, 77.2 TS% in his last 2 games. I don't think Jokic(permanent voter fatigue) or SGA(too stacked) is going to win this season. Still got Luka winning in the end.

Steph Curry has entered the chat.

Based on what?

[sunsbg]

Wemby and Luka declining lately. The former needs to get used to playing with Fox, the later yet to start sharing the ball with James.

Bro, Booker is 29 and statistically his start to the season has been his best season

He isn't 5th in MVP, more like a top 15 player whose top 12 rn in MVP but he isn't "declining" that's propestrous

Ja has sustained injuries and off the court scandals, he's a headcase and a low i.q player that lacks all around skills, can't shoot and no way he'd be an NBA player if he weren't super athletic and that's starting to fade too with injuries and changes in playstyle

Ja was marketed heaviliy cuz he makes great highlight plays and sells jerseys

Braun is responsible for loads of Jokic assists. Moreover, THJ isn't gonna start in his spot, likely Watson or Bruce B. will get the nod.

BBREF's current top 10. Those in italics are not on pace to play 65 games.
