I agree with stephon below. Its Jokic, pretty much for sure. Luka is right behind. But Jokic is hard to argue against. There has never been as complete a player I dont think. I mean Bird and MJ come close. Magic. But not anyone else I can think of. I have to give it to Jokic.
Shai is a great player, a no doubt 1st team all-NBA, but I’m not sure why he’s in the MVP discussion. Statistically he doesn’t stack up. I guess a summary of what I see—Look at Shai’s season, and you make the case that he’s one of the top five players in the NBA this year; look at Luka or Jokic and you get into a discussion of whether they’re among the top 5-10 players to ever play…
Rockets fan here, LD should have been T’d up for that underhand 20 footer. 😂 (whistles ‘sweet Georgia brown’)
Regarding the tightness of the MVP race, I say "how about that?!?!"
