He obviously lost it last year due to voter’s fatigue and narrative (e.g. if he wins 3 in a row, he’ll be a GOAT, so he can’t win that, it’s time to give it to Embiid, etc.)
So what is the minimum criteria to bypass the narrative and voter’s fatigue do you guys think he needs to meet in order to win another MVP this year (I know he doesn’t care about personal accolades, but as a fan, I still want to see him win it)? For example, 1st seed? Triple double stats? Highest win share? Highest BPM?
Feel free to comment your thoughts.
With all due respect (also I did not read this, this is just my initial thoughts) I do not care about Jokic winning another MVP, and neither does he. I think we would all rather go back to back with championships then Nikola win another MVP.
I think to answer the question though, just play ball, do well, and help this team win. It goes to the best player in the league that year and most outstanding. Joel won it based on the fact we struggled for a bit then got exposed, so maybe that will have some bias against him this coming year, but just play well and see what happens. Like I said though, chips > MVPs.
