Hardest watch I’ve ever seen. Every time the suns had a chance to make a run it was either Shai free throws or a “steal” that’s just a body check. Like if this team is so good let us play it fair ffs.
@77_fangirl_@NugsGetBuckets Jokic was just better that season though. The tragic thing about Luka is he’s always been just 1 step behind Jokic, there’s no season where he reasonably would be the MVP.
Yeah league is done. 2023 devalued this award a lot, but I legit don’t think it’s even worth considering this award in all time discussions from this point on.
@KMess__@SwipaCam Any of these games would be Jokics worst game since his first MVP. You’re blinded by this weird ass “consistency” narrative that yall have
@KMess__@SwipaCam This is just not true lmao. Shai easily had lower lows this season, he just has debatably the best supporting cast in history to carry him when he has a bad game.
@HanaHoops The truth is that this IS what makes him “generational.” Defenders are so scared of his flopping that they can’t guard him close, and he gets the easiest buckets of any player in NBA history because of it.
Imagine averaging 27.9 PPG, 12.9 RPG, and 10.8 APG on 67.4% TS — and finishing 4th in the MVP race.
Jokić is on pace to become the first player in NBA HISTORY to lead the league in rebounds AND assists.
He’s actually averaging more PTS, REB, and AST than he did in his last MVP season.
This is one of the craziest MVP races in history.
