Shams: Nikola Jokic Named 2023-24 NBA MVP

These playoffs are showing it was ridiculous to think Doncic should’ve been MVP ahead of Jokic

What happens in playoffs should have no effect on regular season awards.

Agreed.

That... isn't really accurate, especially in context of Doncic's knee and all that. And his previous playoff history. This is a fairly significant outlier in his playoff career, so it's more likely the knee is bothering him enough to slow him down than that he is suddenly horrible in the playoffs, you know?

Yeah, it's ridiculous because Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should have taken home the trophy.

Jokic is the best player in the world, so no.

I’ve been liking when Jokic wins MVP.

Not because I actually care about the award.

Mostly because it exposes everyone when they have really hot takes as to why he isn’t the MVP the last 4 years. Man it says a lot.

40/7/13 against the DPOY and the #1 defense in the league.

In a critical game G5 vs Minny with the series tied 2-2.

Like the regular season, he leads the playoffs in PER, WS48, and BPM.

No one is close. It's his era.
