Shaq - 1 MVPs
Jokic - 3MVPs

NBA MVP isn't a joke, but nobody knows the criteria for it.

Totally acceptable to think that SGA/Luka deserved MVP, but Ant? Tatum? Brunson? Come on. Jokic was playing at at a different tier than those 3 in the regular season

As opposed to the other candidates who haven’t done **** in the playoffs.

Luka has beaten a team that won 60+ games in the playoffs

Jokic has never beaten a team with more then 50 wins

He hasn’t done **** either but get a favorable draw last year

Should be 4 straight, thanks to the crybaby Embiid who ruined what should’ve been a historic moment.

You almost think Shaq is a narcissist. Shaq this is not about you dude with all due respect

I am really surprised SGA wasn’t closer. They went from play in to #1 seed man.

The order seems right when looking at the voting. I had SGA, but I wasn't going to quibble with Jokic winning a 3rd. Knicks needed five more wins for Brunson to have a legit shot to win. Next year.

You can use statistical backflips like this to justify just about anything. This is downright silly.

And that’s without even mentioning that you’re using playoff stuff to argue a regular season award.

Of course using playoff success to argue Luka over Jokic is silly too.

So you’re kind of pulling a hat trick here.

As much as I am loving what the Wolves are doing right now. Man I kinda want to see the Nuggets come back and win this series. Just because of all the takes and posters claiming they're done this series lol

Anyways Congrats Jokic!

Well deserved and one of the best players right now in the NBA!

Meh. Jokic is going to be in company with lebron and Jordan when he shouldn't be. Not sure what the voters are doing here.

Lebron should have 12 mvps if he got judged like this.

Ant wasn’t really in the running.
