Last season it came down to Embiid and Embiid, with Giannis, Tatum, and SGA following.

This week’s MVP ladder is as follows

  1. Jokic
  2. Luka
  3. Embiid
  4. SGA
  5. Tatum
  6. Ant
  7. Hali
  8. KD
  9. Giannis
  10. LeBron

I think this year it will probably come down to Jokic Luka and SGA. If OKC can continue to stay around the top of the West and SGA continues his dominance on both offense and defense, he will be among the frontrunners.

Luka’s status essentially depends on the same factor as SGA’s, tena success. I’m less confident in Dallas than OKC, and SGA being elite on both sides of the court probably makes me lean toward him over Luka.

Jokic has to be the front runner, as long as Denver can do what they did last year and voters don’t hesitate to give Jokic a 3rd MVP, there is no reason why he shouldn’t be in strong consideration.

    I disagree. Team success obviously is very important, but if a player on a 3 seed is clearly much better than anyone on the 1 or 2 seeds I think they should get the MVP, right?
