Jeff Teague: Nikola Jokic winning MVP over Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is BIGGEST SNUB in NBA history

[@fourwoN]

Joker lead his team in scoring, assists, rebounds, steals, and all advanced stats. Same record in the West with Murray out 23 games. SGA is amazing but this isn't close to a snub.

[@TheStylishChefCheese]

With this logic Kobe and Lebron definitely deserve more mvps then… Carmelo also should have one

[@heisenberg3183]

Bruh, SGA took the youngest team in the league to the 1st seed in a tough Western conference which included being ahead of the nuggets and beating them 3- 1 in the reg season. We have a rookie as our starting C, an undrafted player in Dort, a 2nd year player in J Wub and giddey who did not have a great year at SF. Most people can't even name our bench players. Jokic is an absolute beast and I take nothing away from how good he is but cmon.. Theyre defending champs. On paper he has much more help than Shai did. I feel like people voted for Jokic because they didn't do it last year when they should've. SGA was robbed

[@fourwoN]

@@heisenberg3183 you’re factoring in expectations which is narrative driven. Also, JW and Chet have arguably been more consistent than anyone on the nuggets other than Joker this regular season. JW is so underrated

[@fourwoN]

@@TheStylishChefCheese yes, Lebron and Kobe should have won more. Narratives shouldn’t drive the MVP vote. It should be the most valuable player. Just because people fucked up in the past doesn’t mean we should continue to fuck up.

[@f19ure]

​@@heisenberg3183how is Jokic' team better? People overrate Murray, when his career numbers aren't much different than Jalen Williams' (Williams is actually more efficient). I'd argue Williams is more valuable since he can play positions 1 through 4 (Murray isn't that versatile). As a matter of fact, Williams logged 83% of his minutes at the 4 last year. You're underrating the value Giddey gives you at the guard position alongside Shai. And Aaron Wiggins, Cason Wallace, and Isaiah Joe are great glue guys off the bench. Chet Holmgren was a solid starter, and had a great rookie season, especially coming off that foot injury. Imo, y'all have a better overall supporting cast. Only MPJ is decidedly better than Dort (and it's not even close---coz Dort is garbage, ion care how good he is defensively). Gordon is a really good player, but I highly doubt y'all are trading us Jaylen Williams for Gordon, so just stop with these BS narratives.

[@goodenstuff]

It’s bizarre man. It’s like they all value PPG above all else, or they’re guards or wings and don’t like it when bigs or Euros win. It’s not like Teague was some scrub, he was an above average player in the league for while, so he should know as well as anyone why Jokic is the best player in the league. Shai had a great season, and is a pretty easy pick for second best this year, but Jokic put up yet another all time great season for counting stats, advanced stats, and winning. If they beat the T-Wolves which is their toughest opponent from a matchup standpoint then they likely will win the title again, but all these lazy-ass analysts and former players will STILL find a way to diminish Jokic’s accomplishments.

[@Youngster543210]

Whether people thought the Thunder would be the 1 seed is irrelevant. Thanks Chet. The Thunder are perfectly built. The only reason Shai only has a 19 PPG scorer instead of a 20 PPG scorer like Murray is because Jokic passes the ball more than Shai lol. Jokic could average 35 PPG if he wanted and Murray wouldn't crack 18 if he did that.

You said that Jokic having 1 teammate average exactly 20 while J Dub "only averaged 19.5" 💀 is proof thatt Jokic supposedly had all this help that Shai didn't have.
