I’m a die-hard Celtics fan, but to even consider Tatum as the MVP is ridiculous. I can’t stand anything Perkins says. He’s a clown.

So why isn’t Perkins backing Doncic this year? 34 pts a game. Instead he’s backing the guy who’s 7th in scoring? Bottom line is Joker should be getting his 4th straight MVP this year and everybody knows it.

Which, ironically, is exactly what makes Jokic a true MVP over somebody like Embiid who whines about getting the MVP but takes a "s*** happens" attitude toward failure in the playoffs. Jokic is focused on playing his best *to be able to make his team better and win a championship because that is what is valuable to the team*. It is the MVP award, not the "best individual player award"

The MVP has turned an award depending on your skin color thanks to Hendricks and Stephen A. ESPN allows this kind of narrative. It's not a suprise if Jokic or Doncic doesn't win the award having better statistics.

This is why you don’t have players picking teammates and under qualified former players voting on MVP! They have no idea what their talking about!

2 great notes about Perkins' "Top 10 in scoring since 1990" MVP claim: Dirk was actually tied for 10th in scoring his MVP year, so he's wrong on that. Also, the year before his arbitrary 1990 start date, Magic Johnson won the MVP and was outside the top 10 in scoring. I know you're all shocked to hear that.

Tatum is good, but he isn’t ANYWHERE close to being as good a Jokic.

If he doesnt win then its all b cus of one reason. The fact that the media cant accept a european(Serbian) Guy to have multiple MVP. Also it could happen because he isnt a showman, that screams around when scoring an easy bucket

Jesus, that was a horrible, racist take by Perkins. Privilege is the ability to make as many racist statements as Stephen A and Perkins do, and still be on the air.

Jokic is the best . whay ? Because he has more prints than anybody else. Points+rebounds +asstestance + score procentage..

Best of all Jokic does not care if he is going to get or not. He just want to finish the season go back home, enjoy the food, family, horses

Besides that, I don’t think Joker gives a shit.

So long as jokic wins the finals mvp who cares about mvp. I really don’t think jokic cares about reg season mvp

You have to also consider that the entire east is full of inconsistent bums. The only realistic contenders in that conference is the bucks and Celtics, but the Celtics despite even having the best record can’t win a game when there actaully faced up with good competition. Now let’s get to Tatum there is no way he wins it over Luka, Giannis, Alexander, and Jokic there numbers are just better and the western conference is ten times more competive as three teams have mvp candidates, that’s saying something. No way in the world Tatum wins it.

Jokic literally just got 85% of first place votes in the final straw poll...

Perkins should be fired bro, js a hater and no knowledge

The idea that the *best* player on the team with the *best* record is the most *valuable* player is stupid beyond belief. The player that does the most to make his team a success is the most valuable to his team, which is why there is always the balancing act between "who is contributing what toward how much success". You cannot be the MVP on an unsuccessful team (how can you contribute value to a lack of achievement?) but it does not have to be the best team. And it is easier to be the MVP when you are clearly the key to the team's success rather than one of many--you are not as valuable if others can step up and cover for you. You are valuable if you are indispensable to the team's success. Otherwise, you are are replaceable.

@fman4234

Good comment, John, but might I suggest that, by design, the MPV COULD be won by a player on a losing team? That is, the MPV should be viewed, as you said, "The player that does the most to make his team a success." IOWs and as an example, you could have a piss-poor team, ranked #32 say, but say that team's MPV launches that team to a 50/50 season. So, he could be the "MVP" of the NBA over all other MVP contenders considering his relative accomplishments. Hypothetically. But, as we all know, that best player does not get credit unless his team is amongst. Alas.

I feel that most people who is voting for mvp, knows shit bout basketball

Jokic 🐐

Wasn't Jason Tatum and the Celtics the best team in basketball last year then why didn't he get it last year

Jokic deserves to LOSE the MVP. Then win the finals MVP. And the ring.

Jokic no question about that

Give it to Joker

He wasn’t behind Embid. He was so far ahead maybe you thought he was behind.

The best thing is Jokic could care less,he's about winning Championships

Jokic is miles ahead of everyone else.

This aged pretty bad

Yes he should have his 4th by now

He will win because the guy in 2nd is also white

Man that was nasty robbery and Embid crying about it was embarrassing 😅 Jokic does not care about that at all, maybe Luka will be better this year, anyway Serbians are dominating basketball as usual:) 💪

For MVP, I like to factor in the advanced stats: In terms of win shares, it is SGA>Giannis>Luka In terms of PER, it is Giannis>SGA>Luka In terms of VORP, it is Luka>Giannis>SGA Of course, that is the race for 2nd because Jokic leads all of those categories by a wide margin. Jokic is a full point ahead in PER, has a 15% lead in win shares, and a 25% lead in VORP. Like, it isn't even close.

Jokic will win. Luka losing to 10th Seed GS was a bad look. He puts up great stats, Chet has had a lot to do with Shai winning, because last year they were nothing. I think Jokic has played great but the fact he is the best Player and the most Important/Valuable means a lot. Jamal has missed more than 20 games, yet they are the first Seed.

Looks like we in the back of the bus now huh....

Jokic 1, Doncic 2. You can go either way, and you’d be right.

Let them guard each other in a BIG GAME. Check their stats during CRUNCH TIME.

Perkins sucks

For those who know the truth this is jokers 4th mvp he was robbed by voter fatigue

Hard to disagree w this. He’s not the most talented or exciting player to watch but for what he does, he does it very well.

I like Luka but the Joker was robbed last year.

It should have been lukas mvp to win this year... But we all know the media and the fans wanted to make up with their blunder MVP last year.

I want to see doncic win. He deserves it to because that team is useless without him except for kyrie

Jokic must get they robbed him last year that shame they will never erase nobody was even close to him and they just bcs Embid was black and cry they give him,and I afraid this year maybe give to other black Shai even Doncic deserve much more if you wish to destroy Jokic at least give to second best Luka! I hope they will honour Jokic they don't need to honour but just keep for same principles why you steal him last year,last year was he was never win championship till he don't get ring he can't be MVP....so now same must be for Shai only next year he can win MVP and that's if this year get ring!!! Let's be fair what standard have for one must have for all or you all just liar's!!! And Shaq is biggest liar he was all season Big man Big man and now Black man Black man that show man character and who he is as a man!

In the beginning, all I was going to do is criticize your spelling and punctuation. You really hit a trifecta.

Jokic is gonna win. I think if Dallas was in the top 3 in the west Luka would win it.

no, they won't give it to tatum, tatum is just a big a no show in clutch moments as Embid. The league is pushing for a Luka mvp this year. The reason? they don't want Jokic to take home no.3, because that will start up goat talks. and once those talks start up people will notice jokic is CAREER leader in every advanced metric in the book, those same advanced metrics the spots bobbleheads have been pushing for to prove LBJ is deserving of goat talk, those same advance metrics LBJ has trailed jordan in his whole carreer, but jokic now leads in all of them. It ruins a 20 year narrative the league has tried to build around lebron about him being the GOAT. so they'll give it to Luka. I think they'd rather give it to Shay, but there isn't a credible argument you could make for him over luka or jokic. same for tatum. that's why it will be Luka the league will push hard for.
