Did you forget about the 5 game losing streak Giannis was just on orrrrr?

Hence why I have Embiid on top he has been wining regularly without a lot of losing streaks


It doesn’t change the fact that you have Giannis ahead of LeBron and are going on about how LeBron was “saved” by Schroeder lol. LeBron without his #2 and #3 go on a 4 game L streak and is put against him but Giannis without his #3 is not. I don’t mind your standings but be consistent



The Bucks win 4 in a row without Jrue following that L streak & then their 5th today with a post covid Jrue looking okay.

Giannis should be top 3 right now. It’s a very open season actually, the last 20 games or so should way up real sharply in the voters mind.

primetime blowout for Lebron, Lakers go back to 2nd overall record, Philly loss yesterday and Bucks surging to that 1 seed (soon). Embiid is gonna find himself in the 3rd seed soon, imo. Gonna make this a very weak MVP year

Lebron continues to be the clear-cut mvp this season, 8-1 now without ad when he at least has Dennis playing with him.

Clear cut? The only thing that he’s shown this year is that he has declined significantly, and can only win when everything is lined up perfectly for him.

Lebron coming for that MVP. Having the 2nd best record in the league while having AD already miss like a 3rd of the season is gonna give him some huge points. Especially since i think Embiid and Philly are gonna drop to the 3rd seed

Currys been in the mvp race for a long time and jokers not slowly gaining momentum. He’s been the best player all year but they still aren’t winning enough.

That’s why I said Jokic was slowly gaining momentum

Denver is looking good because of Jamaal Murray gaining momentum. His lowest points in his last 9 games is 22 and averaged 26 ppg in the month of February.

Lol not having Giannis on the list when he’s played the best over the last month. What’s all the voters going to do when Giannis keeps this up and has a better season than last year and the bucks are the top seed again. And I don’t want to hear playoff success this is a regular season award. But Giannis free throws improvement and adding Jrue makes this team scary good.

Giannis in February:

34 MPG
30.4 PPG
12.1 RPG
6.1 APG
63.6 TS%

He's been insane.

Giannis won’t touch another MVP untill he stops being man handled in the playoffs.

This year is its a pick emm between Lebron and Embiid, Jockic will get some votes as well.

At this point in time he's far more deserving than LBJ. Or do we not care about actual stats at all anymore??

Giannis could put up 50ppg and lead the Bucks to 1st in the East, doesn't matter. The media have already preordained their MVP before the season started.

Perhaps if ESPN had a vested interest in Giannis since he was in high school, those numbers would matter.

If I have to bet my money, Giannis will make the 3 peat, and I will go one step ahead, he will be even better in the play offs...
