Most comments lean towards Jokic deserving it, but Shai getting it anyways. I also agree but then... Wtf!!

One guy has an All-Star team around him. The other guy finished top three in points, rebounds, assists, and steals. In the history of the NBA no one has finished top 10 in all four categories before this season. There should be no debate.

Shai is going to get it

Co-mvp

Thunder are still a playoff team without Shai, the nuggets would have some of the best odds for winning the #1 pick in the draft lottery if they didn’t have Jokic. Case closed.

Team Jokic

Jokic has the wildest advanced stat ever going on for him: with him on court the Nuggets have the best offensive rating (125.8) and without him they have the worst in history (86.3). How do you argue against that? 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😅

Jokic is clearly the best player on the planet. Shai had a great season but this shouldn't even be debated.

Terrible argument. The Thunder would win 50+ without SGA, Nuggets might win 25 without Jokic.

SGA all the way

Jokic averaging a triple double over the course of the season to me shows he deserves the MVP. Shai has had a monster season and think he will win based on voter fatigue for Jokic.

Jokic!!🤩

Peyton Manning and Steve McNair split it in 03. Would be cool to see in the NBA. Crazy MVP race this year. Giannis is somehow an afterthought in spite of the crazy season he’s been having 😂

actually i deserve mvp tbh

Shai is better than Jokic defensively moreso than Jokic is better than Shai offensively. Shai should win. (I say this as a Suns fan who thinks Nash's second MVP honestly should've gone to Garnett for the same reason)

Both playing at a high level. Shai will win MVP just like Karl Malone, Derrick Rose, Steve Nash etc.

Shai is much quicker!

I feel that without Shai, OKC still makes the playoffs and is a second-round exit at worst. Without Jokic, Denver is in the lottery

Correct. We DO need to care more about (and bring attention to) the possibility of losing our way of life due to people treading all over the Constitution at this time. 👏🏼 You all can go back to caring about those things immediately after. Thanks

I'll walk back "stolen," this will be much less egregious than Embiid. "Deserved and not given" works.

When General Jokic is on the floor the Nuggets have one of the best offensive ratings. When he is on the bench it literally is flipped to the worst. Thunder were 5-1 in games Shai didn't play. The nuggets don't even make the play in without Joker.

Well, not really. Going by vibes, I much prefer Jokic's game (or Giannis even). Shai has both counting and advanced stats. OKC has the best Net rtg and a top 7 record all-time. That is a pretty solid objective argument. Shai will win bc he has the narrative case on top of a good statistical case

Evan Mobley

Curry

It’s def going to be Shai only because of media voting fatigue

Giannis>Shai

Shai is carrying an incredible young team that lost one of its best pkayer for half the season and still put up 68 wins. I love Jokic, and he had an epic year again,but Shai carried that team.

Young title favorites!
