Blatant lying by NBA.

Yet the league would rather try to promote LBJ as an MVP candidate this year despite having 2:1 assist to turnover ratio and still being a minus player on the season.

No wonder viewership is dying.

Shaq never got to 11 assists in a game, Jokic got to 22 in a game where he also had 22 rebounds and 31 points

Need to take a second to take this in. This might be the greatest statline of all time. Who knows if we ever see this again. Much respect
