If Luka ends up top 4 seed he has a good case. His 2nd best player is Brunson


Feel like guys who show up so out of shape it actively hurts your team for the first 20-30 games like Luka + Harden shouldn't get rewarded with an MVP.

Your 2021-22 NBA LVP is (surprise!) Kyrie Irving. He plays, they lose. He doesn't play, the team wins. Although i must admit that Randle is a strong competitor for the honor, Kyrie is in a league of his own.

Derozan should be in the conversation of a top 3 MVP candidate.


MVP isn't awarded for 6 good games.
Lol what?

I think it's almost impossible for DeMar to win, there's already this narrative about DeMar, and do you think the media is going to let DeMar make them look like fools after "Worst Signing of the Season", "Bad Fit", "Washed Out", "Overpaid" claims?

As a Bulls fan, and recent DeMar bandwagon hopper (just this year since he's a Bull), just really happy with how the season is progressing so far, and couldn't be happier to see DeMar have another shot at championship contention. He's paid his dues in this league, class act, another guy I wish to see win a championship before he retires.

Jokic with a game winning block and game winning assist in the past week. Leads his team in SIX categories. Literally every important one. What more does an MVP do?

I would be a disgrace to the sport if Jokic and Giannis are not 1 and 2 in whatever order.

Nobody else compared. Like at all.

Win games? What’s the point of those six categories if your team is on track to win 46 games?

As a fan of the game and its greatness I silently hope they are on the same team one day to enjoy the greatest basketball but watching them in the Finals would be a nice consolidation prize. Either way they need to get their due before they retire.

LOL this might have been an argument two months ago but they are winning games. They’re probably gonna win 50 games. That’s amazingly impressive considering the talent around Jokic.

I mean the dude is missing his 2nd and 3rd option. The fact that they're on pace missing that much talent is pretty damn impressive. The fact that Denver is currently just 1.5 behind Philly and 2.5 behind Milwaukee is crazy, with again considering the fact that Denver is missing their 2nd and 3rd options.

It's down to Jokic, Giannis and Embiid.

Nobody else is that close, but honorable mention to DeMar.

Embiid fell out of the race the second his team lost by 50. It’s a two horse race.
