[@dsantrix5154]

Kdot new album is indeed pretty good didnt love it as much at first. Jokic is insane hope hes gon be solid (Health)

[@jalenjohnson0339]

Honestly if Jokic wasn’t having a historic season so far Anthony Davis would be the clear cut favorite right now. J.J understood the assignment and that was let A.D go to work. I think people forgot probably due to his injuries that at one point in his Peclians days people thought he would be the best player in the world and be the next face of the league. So yeah it’s cool to see AD showing us when healthy he one of the best players in the world

[@kian8258]

AD is averaging bad giannis numbers on similar defense 😂

[@shadows5499]

​@@kian8258ads defense is better then giannis's the gap for both offense and defenses are abt the same Its just ad has done it against harder teams and has better record he should be ahead in the mvp convo to giannis for now

[@kian8258]

@ no way u just said their gap for offense and defense is the same 😂😂😂😂 AD averaging less points less rebounds WAY less assists, much worse playmaker, doesn’t get guarded as hard as GA, AD is the second best rim scorer in the NBA this season yet giannis is ahead by like 5% and 60 makes. Giannis also top 3 in middys this season, so I’d say scoring versatility is pretty even. Defensively Giannis has been absolutely incredible this season, FS playing like a top 6 defender ITL. Yall lakers fans so shamelessly biased it’s insane. Just cuz the media wants u to believe AD is on his level (cuz he’s a laker) doesn’t mean u can’t stop to actually watch them play and think for urself

[@onlydbrasko]

AD with 25/13 is getting blown out by the Suns. He doesn't have the same impact as Jokic doing the same numbers PLUS playmaking because Jokic IS the IQ of the entire Nuggets offense.

[@jacksonbyrne5835]

AD is possibly the most overrated defender and maybe even player in the league.

[@BasketballBusiness]

Cavs looking like a 2k rebuild season. Great core playing great team basketball at the top of their conference, but won’t have one guy with insane stats to win mvp

[@mfdoomhelikedbcooper6602]

I haven’t watched the video yet but I just saw a short of someone having Steph over Shai on the ladder. Idk if that’s a popular take but Shai is averaging 4 more points with the exact same rebounds and assists, as well as giving you one more steal than Steph and a block. Plus the thunder won more than they lost while all of their centers were hurt I think he needs a bit more respect.

[@jaceygaither2581]

The only argument for Steph is that Shai arguably has more help... J Dub is easily better than whoever the 2nd option is for the Ws on any given night. Still, it's pretty crazy to argue Steph>Shai at this point. Shai is the better player on both sides of the ball.

[@Kagemusha08]

Everyone knows Joker is the best player on earth now, but MVP is never about that, it's about the narrative. A lot of media types have Joker fatigue

[@trewic8678]

jokic is not the best player rn. giannis and him both hold the crown and it switched week to week.

[@hans.lankamp]

Yup. Jokic is without a doubt the best player AND most valuable player to his team. The only question about him is voter fatigue and narratives

Tatum can’t win MVP because of how basic the Celtics offense is.

Unpopular Opinion : Jalen Williams has been better than Shai this year, he deserves to be higher than Shai in the ladder, but since Shai is the Star it won't happen.

[@onemanonevote4223]

[@Dash3d07]

Disagree, jdub started off very slow to the season why Sga has been consistently good

[@realkevinharlan]

Thunder fan- I think he’s been playing at or near Shai’s level and has been integral to us maintaining our record, but we really take how great shai is for granted. JDub may be a top 15 player at this point though

[@onemanonevote4223]

@@realkevinharlan idk i have seen j dub defending the best players at the end of games. I have also seen shai mess up at the end of games with some missed shots.

[@GabesWayOfDoingIt]
