Congrats to Jokic. Now Denver needs to give him a team.

You would assume Giannis fans would be a little more sympathetic after he won two in a row and his team flamed out prematurely but…

Oh well, Jokic just needs his own Middleton and Jrue and maybe he can start winning championships too.

Congrats to the true MVP

Imo, it sucks that:

The only human beings making these votes are:

Exclusive media staff members that are selected by NBA executives. There isn't a criteria on how a media member can be an NBA award voting member.

There also aren't consistent parameters set on how to awards, and make all-NBA teams.

Players, coaches, GM's, etc. having an input on these awards makes sense to me.

All good (for me).

Congrats to Nikola.

Hell of a season, and (short) postseason. Hes really **** good at basketball.

I hope he enjoys it with his family and friends like he said he would.

So that means Jokic > Embiid right?

76ers supporter I feel Giannis is the best player in the league and his season was just as good as his two MVP seasons. Would have given it to him.

Honestly, look at these terrible postseason numbers. :roll:


If you're going to have twice as many MVPs as Shaq or Kobe I'm gonna hold you to a pretty high standard. Stats aren't enough. Great regular season player

Good for him but not a fan of the MVP that keeps getting smacked in the playoffs. Hopefully someone else can play enough games to dethrone him next season.

Well deserved. Embiid is a close 2nd but he has better teammates

Nah Butler is decent but not mvp.

Jokic was the clear winner for me.

Good for him and congrats. I probably would not have voted for him but in my mind the race was really close between him, Giannis and Embiid and any one of those 3 would have been a worthy winner IMO.

So you think Shaq or Kobe could have taken a team with Will Barton and Aaron Gordon as their next best options to the 2nd round?
