Nikola Jokic's BOGUS MVP Blows Up Gil's Arena as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew battle over who they think deserved the NBA MVP Award between Jokic & Shai Gilgeous Alexander and debate if Shai carrying the young Oklahoma City Thunder to the #1 Seed should've been enough to take down Jokic and his Denver Nuggets after taking a step back this season.

These guys are proof that just because you play NBA doesn't mean you know basketball lol. Lets talk about their SGA got robbed stuff. Jokic was top 10 in scoring, top 5 in Rebs and top 3 in asst, He was more efficient than SGA, they finished with the same record despite Murray missing 30 games. Jokic was number 1 in damn near every ADV stat which usually dictates whats an MVP, plus minus, VORP, PER,TS% etc he was number 1. Denver differential when Jokic is on the floor and off the floor is also larger than SGA with OKC. Last point on the SGA stuff, he put up very similar great numbers last year but they were 9th, this year they are 1st... Go look at SGA's stats last year its almost identical but there is a big jump in record and seeding, why is that? could it be because Chet finally played? Jwill went from 14 a game to almost 20 a game? Not taking anything away from SGA, I think he is the best SG in bball, I had him 3rd in my MVP after jokic and luka, hell of a player but to say he got robbed because he lost to Jokic is absurd and just straight up hating on Jokic.

Whenever Jokic wins MVP, they cry about how someone else should have won it. Joker didn't do enough in the postseason so he shouldn't win MVP. Remember that? But SGA who doesn't have any postseason experience except for this year, should win MVP over Jokic who is a proven winner. FOH with the double standards! SGA is putting up the same numbers he did last season when OKC won 40 games and missed the playoffs. OKC got Chet Holmgren this year and Jalen Williams took a leap offensively. That's why the Thunder got better. Denver's roster got worse this season and they still won more games than last year, while the Western conference got tougher!

The man is literally the most efficient player of all time, and has no real weakness to his game. His defense aint great, but it ain't bad either. He's also insanely consistent, and shows up every game, which is something Embiid can't claim, and neither can Giannis this year. The only other competitor was Luka.

They're both PPG and playmaker players, and Luka wins both of those categories with arguably a worse team.

[@accordingtodrew7302]

@@cp3190if you look at jokic stats compared to last year, they’re damn near identical, so how did he improve? Shai efficiency and defense improved greatly. Add on the fact Shai is doing this with a young group of guys with little to no experience of winning in the nba

[@emil2683]

​​@@accordingtodrew7302 He didn't need to improve. He was MVP finalist last year and kept playing like an mvp this year. Was top 5 in points,rebounds and assists,8th in steals. Led the league in PER,box plus minus and win shares and his team was tied for the best record in the west with Murray missing 1/3 of the season.

@@michaelallen8112 what are you talking about, everyone thought that the Thunder would take a leap. I thought they’d be at worst a 5th seed and at best 3rd or even 2nd. All those players on the roster were young and talented, obviously each of their were going to improve and by proxy their team as a whole improve.

Good Episode

[@shanemoore9705]

Can’t wait to hear why Jokic isn’t the best player after he torched the #1 defense last night.

[@jaybriggs2430]

Rashad was making a valid point but they didn't comprehend because they thought he was arguing with his own point with tatum after saying congratulations to joker

[@monsieurimhim6147]

Mcants the most accurate one up there , he just to real so they can't argue his points cause they actually make since

[@kadeemanderson2606]

I thought I was the only one. It's the clicks Rashad is an easy target because he doesn't fit in.. Deep down they know Rashad was like that haven't figured out why they want to argue everything he says. Kenyon knew what he was talking about when he said y'all gotta stop that.

[@michaeljohnson2000]

He completely wrong

[@joebucketsTV]

Nah, he had no point honestly. Gil debunked everything he said. Rashad was TRYING to say they're being consistent, but they aren't: Russ got got one MVP from averaging a triple-double (out of 3 seasons) and his team was bad all 3 times...meanwhile Joker has won 3 MVPs for ALMOST averaging a triple double while his team wasn't the best team in the league. Gil was saying Russ should've won them in the same fashion but he didn't, because it's the EXACT same situation. Rashad was having issues seeing that because he doesn't have the capacity to listen objectively.

@@joebucketsTV once he asked who the best player ...he proved his point They didnt wanna say jokic for 💩 start talking about if everybody healthy, this & that but took forever to provide a name

Mccants be pissing Kenyon off but Kmart to old to be tying to bully people even if mccants be saying some dumb shit Kmart tripping it ain’t that serious 😂😂😂😂

[@DC4L1991]

It ain’t that serious to be honest, Kenyon be talking like he was Tim Duncan or some shit 🤣🤦🏾‍♂️.

[@yeahriightt24]

Hell naw you can’t sit there and let McCants get away with crazy takes. If someone contradicts themselves and says “I can do that” they don’t need to be talking.
