Luka is the mvp. And his defense is not as bad this year. Hes taken the criticism personal. He’s got great hands. He’s 7th in steals. His problem is just moving his body in the right spot after using all his effort on offense.

@@Wrestle_Kingdom how luka has better stats and has broke tons of records already including a 73point game. So there you have stats and narrative. We now know standings dont really matter because we have seen players win mvp without a high seeding so that argument is null. Shai has better defense, granted, but not only has luka’s defense improved but luka’s offensive output outweighs what sga brings on both ends in terms of value. So there you have it. Zero arguments can be made for sga because everything shai does, luka does at a higher level.

That rookie is a top rookie of the year candidate, and that sophmore is averaging 19pts per game. Not to mention OKC's bench has the best +/- in the league. Shai didnt pull miracles making OKC a contender. Mvp should be Tatum, and it sad the media doesnt give him any credit

[@el1tefire252]

Since jokic finally won a chip it has seemingly wiped away all of the voter fatigue that would’ve been there otherwise, attach the narrative he was robbed last year and it’s really driving his case. Luka for MVP honestly

[@carefulilickwindows6881]

That's actually a good take on voter fatigue being erased. But I'd still give it to Jokic over Luka ATM, the Mavs are looking like a team now so who knows. Jokic can score 15-20 points and still have a bigger impact than Luka scoring 40. I love Luka but Jokic is a different animal. Luka makes it look effortless, Jokic makes it look like he's doing it asleep.

[@el1tefire252]

@@superQman600 you know I though about this as well, the thing was Giannis won a chip the he was suffering from winning fatigue like Lebron. So it doesn’t erase the fatigue, but just adds to it. Think about it, it’s the success fatigue, the greatness fatigue. His narrative got boring because u r use to seeing him dominate. Also Jokic just literally had a better season than him in every aspect except scoring. More assist more rebounds and on better efficiency with like 2 less points a game that season. Jokic on the other hand won two straight loses in the playoffs and then the narrative becomes he cant win another MVP in a close MVP race cause his lack of playoff success and immediately wins a championship, wiping away that narrative and invigorating the narrative that developed of him being robbed

[@tylerdejesus6333]

@@el1tefire252but they literally used the same narrative as the reasoning for not giving Giannis his 3rd straight. Because he hadn’t won, and just like jokic, he ended up winning the year they didn’t give him his 3rd straight. The next year, 22, he was regarded as the best in the league, and rightfully so imo. But still they gave it to jokic again. Last year, he was having his best offensive year, and had the number 1 seed and I wanna say also had the highest winning % of any player in the league that year and they gave it to Embiid. This year he’s just been ignored and disrespected completely. Having a better offensive year than last year, and is going to make nba history being the only player to average 30ppg on 60% shooting and nobody cares.

[@ST-tf4sq]

Embiid was playing amazing, but he was sitting against good teams, on road, and scores 50 in blowouts multiple times this year. And he plays a lot of garbage time just to pimp up his scoring... Why doesnt no one mention that? If embiid wants to play full season, less minutes, less garbage time, less wasting energy to pump up stats and he is gonna go for 25-30ppg but play full season, he missed in ,Milwakee, in Boston in Miami and in Denver this year and others too.. ita clear its stat padding but people dont want to call it like with westbrook

[@monkeyd6716]

You cant tell me SGA is not an elite defender. He is among the best defending guards in the league. Youre trippin on some points. Like yeah voter fatigue is a thing but you have to remember, last year the excuse for him not being MVP was post season success. That was the excuse and he went out and won the cup. Thats why the fatigue isnt really hitting him this season because the reason they wouldnt give him the MVP last year he went and proved them all wrong. Any 3 of those guys could win it and you could make it make sense. I want luka to win personally but if SGA wins or Jokic wins i wouldnt even be mad id understand they have both given enough to win it this season. But lets just wait and see

This feels like a bit of overcorrection by voters since so many felt that Jokic got snubbed last year so they gotta give it to him this year. Not the first time something like that has happened. He's also generally viewed as the best player in the NBA, so he may be viewed as the 'default' answer even if that may not be the case for this year. As much as I can't stand Embiid, he deserves it this year were it not for the injury. SGA just feels eternally underrated, tho that may have more to do with him being perceived as a superstar only really coming last year, and is still viewed as an up and coming star compared to some of the more “established” guys so to speak. What Luka is doing is insane, he should be MVP favorite imo. I agree that there’s a stigma for lower seeded players not getting MVP, and the NBA isn't the only league to suffer from it. I can think of a few NFL cases as well.

[@UncleJrueForTue]

Yeah, the discourse is no longer as toxic, but it feels strangely less impactful since Embiid. When the options are 2 Time MVP who's clearly not playing up to his previous standard and a newcomer who leptfrog Luka into the convo based on record alone, it certainly feels weaker. But I'd rather have weaker than toxic, I guess?

[@nikolakrstic8079]

as a huge Jokic guy I can say this is the first season in quite some time where It doesn't feel like Jokic is the MVP. That being said I think Giannis, Jokic, Luka and SGA are at the same lvl this year

It doesnt hurt jokic now because of the Championship. Jokic lost the MVP award due literally to just voter fatigue, complaining he doesnt deserve it without post season success. Youre just dick riding Shai, and this is from someone who doesnt have Jokic at #1. Also, the Mavs gotta win more, be more games above 500, and he'll be top 2. Also, wdym removed from the conversation??? He's like 3rd, that is literally in the conversation. Giannis honestly idk, maybe we are used to it, but the Bucks are a bit of a mess this year so who knows. (Also, shouldnt we ne trying to stop voter fatigue from being a thing? Why are we sticking with a stupid tradition just because it's a tradition.)

[@majesty1842]

Jokic got robbed not cuz of voters fatigue but due to racist comment from "D*ck" Perkins. Now he keeps disrespecting Jokic again cuz he doesn't wanna admit he f*cked up supporting Mr. 2nd round-exit Embiitch

[@shyqyrimusta190]

How is Jokic situation now different from Giannis in 2022. He just came of a championship and was having the best season of his career and playing like the best player in the league but they gave Joker the MVP as a six seed. Giannis suffered from voters fatigue and Joker isn't. And Embiid played mvp level basketball last year. It was not a robbery.

[@JakeKoenig]

Voter fatigue also isn't hurting Jokic because HE DIDN'T WIN THE MVP LAST SEASON. These morons don't even know what voter fatigue means. Voter fatigue (and racism) is why Jokic didn't win the award LAST year. People act like Jokic won five MVPs in a row and the fatigue built up so much that it's leapfrogging multiple seasons. He won a grand total of two MVPs and then was robbed last season, so that eliminated any building fatigue. The only player who could've been affected by voter fatigue this season would've been Embiid. If this guy is applying voter fatigue to Jokic than why not apply it to Giannis too? Giannis has won back-to-back awards within the past 5 years. No voter fatigue for him though, right? Just for Jokic. Funny how that works.

I don’t think you understand how voting even works. A guy being voted 1st once does not mean him being voted 1st asecond time by a different voter is a lower probability. The first place votes are mutually exclusive, Jokic clearing in votes does not mean voters think his season is dramatically better than the others. It does mean that many do think he is having a slightly better season, and considering the dire state of the bucks atm andthe Mavs not having a high seed, it is not surprising that Jokic has as many votes as he does.

[@TADA13]

I think the 2 reasons Joker isn't being hit by voter fatigue is; 1) He's turned it up with the triple doubles to now include 100% true shooting performances. But 2nd and more importantly, he wouldn't be here this season if he'd just been awarded last season like he should have. If there's a season where Embiid deserved it, it would be this season. But its like they knew he wouldn't be healthy enough to ever win it again, so they forced it to go to him last season. Think of this as a compensation vote to give Joker what he was robbed of in 2023

You say Embiid was having a historic season and was a lock to win MVP but Luka is having an even more historic one. Depending on which site's stats you use he's either #1 or #2 for points with 34 just slightly behind Embiid's 35. He''s #3 for assists. #2 for 3 pointers. And he's doing it all with great flair and style. Hitting more difficult shots than Embiid and having many of these Luka Magic wow moments and pulling off crazy shots. You put together a HL reel of Luka's and Embiid's and there's no comparison. Don't get me wrong, Embiid is great and he's a scoring machine but so is Luka and he's a great passer and he's not ducking games. Embiid is hailed as a god for scoring 70 by the media but Luka puts up the most efficient 70 + points game in history shortly after and the media, especially ESPN, don't even give him any credit and suddenly the narrative being pushed is all about defence. Luka went 23-33 from the field and had 16 FTA Embiid went 24-41 with like 23 FTA if I remember correctly Embiid is going full throttle. Hence why he keeps getting injured.

[@nikolayjerev9285]

[@ryanstarr2389]

I would probably have luka as my mvp

[@neptune4359]

Your take on Giddy is giving hater Josh isn’t trash

[@SOURJDADDY]

Voter fatigue is so stupid

[@daveb949]

You're tripping

[@rogerhurt5569]

Giannis is a great player, but offensively, his true shooting % isn't because of his shot improvement. It's from living in the paint. Luka's shooting is far above Giannis. Jokic is a much better offensive player than Giannis. Neither are anywhere near him in defense, though. Jokic is the better teammate & leads by example by how he plays the game. His team is behind him because he engages them. He doesn't set himself apart from them in a way that Luka & Giannis do.

[@TheProfyx]

Media is so scared of Luka greatness. Saying s.hit like he is a ballhog, that teammates doesnt like him, about his defense(classic)... But bad narrative will work because most of NBA fanbase only watch highlights, they favourite team and i.diots like Perk, SAS and Skip... 🤡🤡🤡 People who watch the games knows the truth. 👌

[@denverbasshead]

He needs to win more regular season games

[@waillachab284]

You give it to shay than he flame out in the post season this award will be laughable

[@Stunnax2K]

Finally somebody said it, Jokic should be top 5 in the mvp talks but he shouldn’t be the favorite.. He doesn’t deserve it more than Luka or Shai

[@ChiefOttoSo]

Don’t know ball

[@croakinglizard2156]

W vid this shit needs to be called out

[@mad_max_82]

In January he blast Giannis,and first lost to Celtics

[@WilliamValium]

I think almost every argument in the video is flawed. I do however agree with Luka and ginnis 1 and 2 and Shai as third. Jokic is not as great this season for his own standard

[@bgnr0107]

This guy doesn't understand how voting works. For example there are 100 people that rates jokic as a 99 and sga as a 98.9. That close. 1st place vote goes to jokic and sga 2nd. When you tally it up. 100 votes go to jokic as 1st. It's just a unanimous vote. 100 to zero even though they're close in mvp rating.

[@chaos5840]

honestly, the nba shouldnt touch the mvp award anymore. Fans dont care about consistency anyways. embiid is the one who refused to stay on the court, how is it the nba fault for saying he cant win

[@Nahaintnoway]

I think you’re dead on with every single point. As a Nuggets fan obviously I love that Jok is leading the race but I know his play isn’t really at the level of his 2 MVP seasons. I’m just happy the discourse isn’t toxic like it has been the past 2 years.

[@Lena-ks5ni]

My favourite is Luka, he is way better than other candidates Mavs should try reaching six or fifth place and MVP will be his. With no more excuses and ignorance.

[@aminuabdullahi5922]

Great video man

[@roboninja3194]

Embiid winning a MVP is meaningless. He proved that last season. Historic season cause of his scoring? LOL in a NBA with no defense whatsoever.

[@ehecatl6343]

I'm biased. SGA all day!

[@benjaminedgar507]

shai is winning lol - skill issue (30 ppg got the narrative, OKC will be 1 seed with top 5 defence and offence, also leading league in steals and best finisher in the league xx)

[@tommasomoro8773]

Jesus christ im tired of people saying jokic should not be the mvp, it's definetly not a lock yet but y'all must not have seen his numbers, he is averaging just 4/5 points less then shai i think but he has way more rebounds and assists, shoots at better effeciency, yeah sga got more steals but it's not like jokic is a cone, he is doing ok on defence And not mentioning that he got ejected early in 2 games hurting his stats and last games basically all of his teammates beside gordon have been pretty trash

[@ChumBucket65]

embiid would prob win it if not injured

[@sir.muffiniii7011]

Well no shit

[@ogmidnight4848]

Only thing is disagree on is shai not being an elite defender he definitely been elite this season and should be in serious consideration for all defensive team

[@nydibs]

SGA is not an elite defender. Lou Dort is, SGA almost never guards the best players and if he does they torch him

[@jhacerivers]

​​@nydibs shai is leading the league with 2 steals per game, 2nd place isn't even close

[@nydibs]

@jhacerivers - AI used to lead the league in steals too Stop watching highlights, watch the games, and learn a lil something about basketball Everyone is blinded by stats nowadays, SGA is the 4th best defender among the starters for okc

[@jeffboird6050]

@@nydibs thank you he just gambles a lot which is why his steals are high he gets cooked on close outs and isn’t someone you just stick on the best player of the opposing team

[@deven7345]

Sga has the most 30+ games, will make an all defense team, and has a team of young players flirting with the 1st seed in the west. Pretty solid case if you ask me. LuKa DrOpPeD 70 tHo. Aight, just give him the award then.

[@zaquarviousgaffney367]

but Shai earned it and He and The Thunder beats the warriors 3 times

[@efrainmendez8130]

For all this praise for okc their gonna look like pretenders once playoffs come same as the 2015 hawks

[@Enlightened_SpursFan]

Luka should be MVP this season

[@mad_max_82]

Jokic is mvp cs last year. Last season was Kendrick Perkins. This season is karma getting what he deserved last year. Simple

[@drnick5439]

It's clear to me JT is MVP. Best player on by far the best team

[@OGSauceDaddy]

Do we ACTUALLY give a fuck about MVP? Embiid won it last year and couldn’t make it out the second round. It’s a regular season award and honestly I view the regular season as high level scrimmages for seeding. Playoffs Are the only thing I care about

[@boydriceisawesome2520]

70 in regular season is not special anymore no one care abt luka because his team always low seed and dont go far in playoffs and if you think jokic not good defender go watch last year playoffs again!

[@zoranmarkovic1123]

Luka is the MVP this season.
