Doncic looks like he's going to play <70 games now. I guess if he still plays 68 or so and the team collapses without him and recovers when he's back it could help him.

AD and lebron not going to win it, rockets not going to win enough games. Luka won’t win enough games and might miss some time now




Yeah, Giannis joining the B2B club, you love to see it

When you beat a contender on the road making clutch shots in the face of a MVP candidate b2b2b and having Thon Maker, Cristian Wood and Tony Snell as your teammates you deserve the award.

Derrick Rose for MVP

Harden shouldn't be in the discussion if you care about team record. Both Giannis & LeBron have way better records and Luka is 3rd on a team that shouldn't even be in the top 5. Putting up points is one thing, getting W's is thé thing.

Every loss will wiegh heavily for Harden, especially when the other MVP contenders have stellar records.

I think at this point is safe to say about Giannis it's his to lose..

You can drop peak Shaq into the league right now and Giannis would still MVP easily, cause he's the better player

Giannis combines Shaq % at the rim with a functional outside shot (that now stands at 33% from 3pt land on 5 attempts), with an elite driving game to pressure defenses with better passing and better transition play.

And he's way better defensively than Shaq too.

You guys will learn one day

This is almost as laughable as you thinking Harden is the GOAT shooter.

Almost.

Giannis > peak Shaq

Harden = GOAT shooter

These are undisputed facts, no one has able to debunk from me yet.

Keep trying. Why don't you post some more arbitrary +/- stats on 20 games sample-size to prove Kobe is better than Harden while you're at it.

When Shaq is doing the things you see here offensively on a consistent basis and more efficiently then we can speak. Oh, i forgot. The dude couldn't and is now retired.

Not to mention providing DPOY-level defense on the other end, while Shaq couldn't even be bothered sprinting down court half of the time. Dude was slow-jogging his fat ass down the court while his team was defending fast breaks.

Giannis > peak Shaq
