Jokic is really about to be a 3peat MVP

77 out of 100 first place votes

MVP race been over, but he’s running away with it….we’re witnessing the GOAT in his prime

The passive aggressiveness stanking through your screen. I know you mad as hell.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

On the real though, I hope Embiid can get a rest during the AS break and make one last push for it to make interesting. He and Jokic have both been consistently the two best players this season (Tatum not too far behind). I can’t get down with Giannis being in the convo because up until 10 games ago he was terribly inconsistent.

This is why last years MVP was such a huge mistake and a travesty. 2 out of 3 MVPs is one thing but 3 straight skews history. That’s reserved for THE clear dominant player of his generation and he CLEARLY isnt.

And yea it’s a regular season award but players who win MVPs at that rate/volume almost always win a chip and really it’s usually multiple. Bird, Magic, Jordan, bron, Steph.

When we look back at this timeframe and Steph got a ring, Giannis got a ring, KD got a ring(s), but Jokic won all the MVPs?? it’s not gonna make sense

Why do y’all keep speaking in these generalities as if what happened in the past entirely dictates how things should play out in the future?

Steph hasn’t deserved to win MVP during this recent timeframe. Giannis won two MVPs and then shytted the bed in the first round [edit - second round] unlike we’ve ever seen, and that left a bad taste in the voters mouths in the season following that. KD hasn’t deserved to win MVP during this recent timeframe.

Y’all have been advocating for Embiid winning the last two MVPs, but he hasn’t won a title nor has he made the Finals, so how is that any different to Jokic winning them? Or are you going to tell me if Embiid had won the last two MVPs y’all would be saying it was a travesty?

wears #15 because he's a #1 & a #5¿*

I wish y’all cats would just be honest with yourselves instead of trying to bullshyt. Nobody is saying you have to like it. Y'all are only fooling yourselves. Y’all don’t watch Nuggets games and this fat Euro is a far cry from the type of star player y’all grew up on.

All this other bullshyt y’all are trying to dress your agenda up with is just that - bullshyt.

No it isn’t. Bill Russell and Wilt 3peated as MVP and people have been debating who was better for decades. The same thing when Larry Bird won 3 in a row and it’s debatable if he was better than Magic.

You just made up some bullshyt precedent

 

[TOAD99]

Damn honestly joker deserves it but Wish last year Embiid he would’ve gotten it

3 in a row is crazy and not sure how I feel about that

Giannis is gonna make a push too, I can see him winning it

Bird and Magic are TWO people. Not a pool of guys as in the case with Jokic

Bird and Magic played on teams that were perennial contenders...unlike Jokic

I’m already confused. What does basketball even mean anymore? Is there even a real champion going forward? Do halfcourt shots count for 7? If a finger-roll falls in a forest but nobody sees it, does it count as a bucket?

I am scared. I require an affirmation of value.

Bird and Magic both played on two of the most resourcefully rich and powerful franchises in NBA history. Jokic plays on the Nuggets, a franchise that is a footnote in the NBA, in a place where basketball is essentially the ugly step sister to the other major sports (football, baseball and ice hockey). Would Bird and Magic be on teams that were perennial contenders if they had to play in Denver?

Now, just imagine if the Celtics or the Lakers had drafted Jokic instead.

Y'all should be happy that the most success Jokic is likely to get for the foreseeable is only MVPs, and not on a franchise where he could actually play alongside All-Star talent, because otherwise, the NBA would be that much more miserable for y'all.

Jokic shouldn't win simply because Giannis didn't get his 3rd in a row nor did Harden with his 2nd or Bron or MJ because of voter fatigue. fukk Jokic, anyone but him.
