As of right now, it's very obviously Chris Paul and James Harden.

Embiid for sure. His knees are running out of time.

Embarrassing really, guys will bend straws to justify giving a guy averaging 15.5ppg an MVP and again we all know why you guys do that.
I don't know why. Give us your opinion.

Embiid for sure because his knees are shot. Luka would be my next pick.

Casual
The media told you Nash deserved two MVPs and you believed them. The same amount as Shaq and Kobe combinedMoving goal posts to pretend Nash is an ATG is casual and we all know why you and everyone and 1 you wants to pretend he is an ATG.
That is supremely obtuse. If he doesn't win MVP, it does not change how great those seasons were just because someone thought one other guy was better.
But sure, pretend other people are the ones moving goalposts.

Pacers run is impressive but you have a feeling that this could be a one time miracle considering parity and all. Will Haliburton be another Nash... That's a sad possibility.

I'm surprised that Devin Booker hasn't been mentioned more.
Trae Young for sure as well.

He is not that great. He is a star. Had one Top 5 season. And since that regressed.

Bro Kobe was 4th in one of those Nash MVP years, and didn’t make the top 15 MVP list in another. He wasn’t getting either MVP even if you wipe Nash from existence

Those guys all won MVPs. So it’s got to be someone like Harden, Westbrook or Embiid. Luka doesn’t have an MVP yet so he’s not in the conversation.

I don't know why. Give us your opinion.
I think he's suggesting because Steve Nash is white or because people can't allow themselves to give Kobe credit for anything, which is par for the course around here. The thread that broke news on his death was disgustingly filled with hate and bigotry. Maybe race does have something to do with it though. I don't know. But that hate was not normal.
