Jokic is good but he not winning no more MVPs after this until he win a title
Media used the same logic for Gianis so this has to be consistent
So Jokic was putting up crazy numbers on a bad team. How many times has that happened in NBA history and that player gets denied MVP? All of a sudden, special reservations for Jokic.Jokic had the best season. Carried his squad without the #2 and #3 guys the entire year, and put up crazy numbers doing it.

Lol have you seen the players votes for all stars? They’re hella biased and even worse than the media votes. There isn’t going to be a perfect system but the media gets it right way more than players would . With that said players and coaches probably should have some inputRegardless of who you think deserves the award, the NBA MVP being determined by the media is probably one of the most obtuse decisions the sport has made.
Again, like KD said in that Draymond interview: the media knows jack shyt about the game compared to himself and every single other NBA player.
Scalabrine said the same thing: there is so much microprocessing going on the game that the average person has zero idea about it.
It'd be so much more interesting and definitive if the players vote for it because they're the ones who have seen firsthand what player x does - not just on the court, but analyzed to high detail by the coaches during film sessions.
shyt, coaches and coaching staffs would be a better medium.
I can think of several. These 2 come to mind. Jordan in 1987 averaged 37ppg to go with 200+ steals and 100+ blocks on one of the top 5-7 worst rosters in NBA history. The 2nd best scorer/player on that team was a defensive enforcer named Charles Oakley.How many of those teams made the playoffs though
Serious question
You seen who he has to play with? It's a cotdamn miracle he gets them into a playoff position in the first place.Back to back MVP with (soon to be) back to back 1st Rd exits. Disgusting
Edit: scratch that. 2nd Rd and now 1st Rd exit. So 'scust instead
