Why is that exclusive only for Denver fans :lol:

I guess its easier to get it on TV when you are in USA, and most Jokic fans are from Europe I would say.. Me also, I'm from Europe and Nuggets fan since 2005, wasnt even able to get good streams first few years with dial up internet xD

Jokic is my vote for now, but damn we need to get Gobert in the poll.

With Embiid being hurt Harden is the MVP.

Even if he was the most deserving there are a lot of voters who will flat out refuse to reward him this year, so he ain’t winning.

You cannot win MVP when you intentionally lost games earlier in the season. And he did that.

We are going to get to a point where people are FORCED to vote Giannis.

Why exactly....?

If it came to voters picking Jokic vs Giannis I doubt that anyone is picking Giannis because his team has a mere 3 extra wins

Gotta be between Jokic and Dame right now.

Although I think the media will probably give it to LeBron, even with time missed.

I think its Jokic right now but Giannis has been incredible of late, the Bucks are playing incredibly well, and I happen to think Denver will have a rough patch between here and there.

Why would they refuse? He’s been the best player this year.

Best how? His stats aren't the best, and if you're looking at team record you need to include his Houston record as well.

Suns have arguably the most balanced starting five in the comp it’s beautifully balanced outside of the Jazz, but the Suns have a higher ceiling makes sense. Booker/Paul backcourt is so much offensive prowess not mention defense in Paul/Bridges/Crowder/Ayton

Overtook my 76ers so quickly lol

Anyway Jokic or Giannis for me, Jokic in front but Nuggets will lose games because of their lack of defense (Big man is the anchor, Jokic ain’t bad but he ain’t an anchor that’s for sure).

Jokic is having a historic offensive season but Giannis is a two way monster (though not the most skillful bball player I’ve ever seen.)

He joined to two other superstars , quiting on his team , I don't care if Durant is playing or not, he will be back eventually .

The defense is not that bad in the last month and half, the problem is the depth at guard and wing positions. Hopefully front office can make the good trade, which I doubt they will .

So are we just going to forget what he did with Houston to start the year and how he just quit on that team? Then praise him because he teamed up with 2 other top 15 players? Even with all of that happening he hasnt even been the best player, Jokic has.

Yeah that’s a better way of putting it losing real quality depth (Grant) before the season started is going to hurt. Millsap was old like two years ago.

We have Thybulle he would be a terrier for the Nuggets lol.

Thats nice mvp night as soon the nuggets get in 4th place in the west (which wont be long he will be the favorite)

Post #80 » by **Prez** » Wed Mar 24, 2021 2:33 am

Harden would be my pick if he didn't do what he did in Houston....but he did.

It's gotta be Jokic at this point. If Bron/Embiid miss as much time as expected, Giannis prolly #2 for me just over Harden given again, what Harden did in Houston.

Who be's the MVPs?
