    It's not Jokic's fault that Murray has not played in the playoffs 2 years straight and that MPJ was out this year. He has done a remarkable job considering what he has to work with. I think it's unfair to compare his MVP campaigns to Westbrook's.

    If it is only about stats and regular season
    Why doesn't Westbrook have back to back MVPs
    For the back to back triple doubles

    Jokic’s B2B Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet awards will look worse and worse as the years go by

    Ya, how ridiculous is it to have the player who brought the most value to his team win most valuable player. So dumb

    People aren't bitter Steve Nash stole an MVP from Kobe.

    No shade.

    In 2004, The Suns won 29 games with Marbury playing 34 games. In 2005, Nash joined the Suns, and they won 62 games.

    I'm not a stat guy, I simply saw a guy carry his team to the playoffs. Eye test. If Joel would of won, I would of felt the same by the way. Only reason I would of given the nod to Joel is because of better record and the fact that he hasn't won the award yet. I'm not mad at the results though.

    Understood, I still thought Shaq was more deserving.

    He led the league in scoring, led the Sixers to a top 4 seed in a more difficult conference, and did it without Ben Simmons.

    So getting Harden probably cost him the MVP

    Jocic is just the new Dirk
    Until he wins a championship like Dirk
    People gonna bring up the 1st round exit.

    Sixers won 3 more games in a tougher conference. Anyways, you said Embiid had no case whatsoever, and I was giving a few reasons why he was in consideration.

    I agree Embiid def had a case and would also be a deserving winner, but what made the eastern conf a better conference? I believe the inter-conference record was only like 2 games or so in favor of the the East for the first time in nearly 2 decades.

    Embiid had a historically amazing season but I think Jokic was the right pick. Awesome we witnessed two great centers as the finalist for the MVP

    Jokic broke the all-time record for PER and BPM

    John Travolta ("Pulp Fiction") over Tom Hanks ("Gump").
    Embiid over Jokic.

    Evenly matched, reward the new blood.
