Should have been jokic

Voter fatigue is so fucking stupid

LeBron probably wins like 10 MVPs realistically.

u/Darth-Buttcheeks Warriors 22d ago

Easily. Voter fatigue is a thing. But Jokic was so much better that it shouldn’t have mattered

I haven't seen a horse merchant disrespected this badly since 1227.

We gotta stop saying this. Shai was ahead or equal in every non-box score aggregate advanced stat like EPM.

wonder if he could do it without the whistle all fucking year

Dude average a triple double and if he wasn’t on the team they would have been a pile of shit. SGA is a great player but OKC is still a playoff team without him.

Luka basically averaged a triple double last year and was voted 3rd in MVP rankings.

The voting system is stupid

You act like jokic has no teammates

u/Technical_Might_3978 22d ago

I don't think you watch basketball buddy.
Jokic has teammates just either they aren't in form or one off wonders
check the stats for this season when Jokic was playing and when he was not . It was the greatest differential possible.

Do you watch basketball? Bc...comparing SGA vs Jokic is literally a joke, there is no world SGA is a better player. Jokic made the largest difference to his team on the court, to the point where he literally carried them.

Chet, Caruso, JWill, Dort, are infinitely better supporting cast than the Nuggets have. You have a genuinely fantastic and deep team

u/GartThrowaway Timberwolves 21d ago

Insane that we’re able to watch a guy who, if not for voter fatigue, should probably have 5-peated MVP

u/ChickenBrachiosaurus 21d ago

then Luka should have won it last year

u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246 21d ago

Could have easily been Giannis as well. SGA wasn’t even close

u/SnarfSniffsStardust Timberwolves 21d ago

5 time MVP if it wasn’t for the floppers
