It's gotta be Jokic at this point. If Bron/Embiid miss as much time as expected, Giannis prolly #2 for me just over Harden given again, what Harden did in Houston.

id put dame over harden hes the exact opposite of harden loyal , team first and has been balling out

Warriors embracing the tank I think.

They should too. They have a chance to get two top 10 picks in this years draft.

I dont know who this center is for the 76ers, but hes absolutely destroying Wiseman. Shows you just how far he has to go.

Embiid might not finish top 5 at this rate with Jokic, Bron, Dame, Luka, Giannis and Harden all in the hunt

Philly has been really impressive in this recent stretch without him. Looking like 6-1 in the last 7 without him only loss a tight Ot loss by 4 to a streaking Milwaukee team who they completely shut down in the 1st half but Giannis got going late

Dame with a real lemon of a performance tonight against a shorthanded Nets team.

For some reason in the past star stacking teams are usually excluded from the MVP but with narratives, Embiid is an exception despite Philly being stacked with Simmons and Harris being legitimate stars and also arguably the best roleplayers in the league.

Dame has no real argument over Jokic right now.

Basically between Harden, Jokic and Giannis at this point.

Probably just go with whichever team has the best record.

I am not a big Harden fan. Hate the way he draws fouls in a sleazy way. But the man is strait balling this season and has the Nets as the best team since he was traded there. I don't know why people aren't higher on him.

Is James Harden. That is it, that is all. KD has missed most of the year and Kyrie takes games off when he feels like it but Harden has elevated and kept this Nets team by the top of the standings. Now with Lebron down for some time and Embiid as well I think Harden is the clear cut MVP if he finishes the season the way he's been playing. The guy is just an elite offensive player as a scorer and passer. Words cannot express how spectacular this guy is.

I'm sorry to tell you that the media absolutely hates Harden and will do all sorts of mental gymnastics to NOT give him credit.

IgorK · Post #97 » by **IgorK** » Wed Mar 24, 2021 7:06 am

I'm not against it, but I think Jokic is more valuable to his team than Harden is. That's what happens when you join two other established superstars.

You might be right, but it's hard to deny it. Who else is even worthy of the award?

One star hasn't played half the year and the other takes days off randomly. Wasn't guys on here hyping up Jamal Murry as an emerging star? what happen to that. Jokic team is not even top 3 in the West.

Why would they refuse? He’s been the best player this year.

Best how? His stats aren't the best, and if you're looking at team record you need to include his Houston record as well.

2 straight losses without harden. Thats more telling than anything.

Who be's the MVPs?
