Nikola Jokic deserves his own thread

imagine more than a few voters regret their rationale last season and may lean his way as a make-up.

it was so funny watching those guys backpedal like deion after the sixers flamed out last spring. i love wilbon, but you could see him convincing himself all season long that embiid deserved to be mvp. then when the playoffs happened and Jokic was doing Wilt shit while embiid was wilting (pun intended), wilbon just had to eat it with a sheepish grin on his face for a few days. and i don’t think he even voted anymore. i imagine the ones who really put their name on that ballot must be even more embarrassed.

It's really a shame the NBA voters robbed Jokic of an MVP 3peat last year. Embiid is probably going to win it this year if he continues his current pace and doesn't get injured.  If he does, then they will be in the same predicament next year when he will be going for a 3peat and they will have to pivot again to avoid it for whatever reasons. It's just stupid to turn the MVP award into some popularity contest instead of the typical "best individual player throughout the season."

Close game. Denver's down a point with about 4 minutes left. Haha just kidding, not really that close.

And the thing is, he really doesn't have to make that many overt plays. Yes, there's a block, a steal, some key buckets and an assist, but there's also that intangible aspect--he makes everyone around him better.

Boggles the mind.

What is it with retired NBA guys who feel they need to take shots at Jok?  Last year it was Perk (who has since recanted) and now Arenas.  It's like they can't process that the best player in the league right now is a big, slow white dude who can't jump.
