Can we stop the bullsh!t please?

Clippers traded this guy + 100 firsts for Paul fking George

Best player/s gets decided in the playoffs, not that I’m anticipating Shai to have any problems. I dont know that itll bear him out as THE best player but I dont expect much dropoff.

But as far as this year’s regular season MVP… he’s certainly got a good claim. Not unreasonable to call him the favorite at this point.

I hear that Joker guy is pretty good.

Thought this thread was gonna be about Jokic.

You thought wrong

You guys praise Jordan so much. SGA is having the same type.of season. Stop the BS

[Full Court]

I'm a huge fan of SGA, and I wouldn't mind seeing him get the MVP nod....


But he's not the clear-cut best player in the league. Top 5 for sure though.

No one has to praise him like he's Michael Jordan though. He's not on that level. Hasn't really proven anything.

Good player, good season and good for him. Even if he wins MVP most people will still tell you Jokic is better. When I see Shai it often looks like he's trying his hardest (nothing wrong with that obviously) whereas Jokic looks like he's out there toying with the league half the time while putting up ridiculous numbers and being clutch as hell when he has to.

[k0kakw0rld]

Jokic can't win without Jamal Murray.

Shai is leading a bunch of kids and he plays defense. Jokic doesn't. I don't care about Stats.

OKC are winning the season series vs Nuggets.

Also Nuggets are 4th in the West. What the fk is Jokic doing at #1 MVP? It's absolutely bullshit

Hard to dispute. Impacting both sides of the game. Second best scorer on the team is Jalen Williams. He's doing a lot with a little.

Well some advanced metrics like EPM point to him being the most impactful player in the NBA (now that Embiid is out) with Luka coming in 2nd.

SGA might get the #1 seed with a rookie as his best teammate and with some decent role players around him. Crazy considering the amount of talent that's in the WC. He's definitely having a prime MJ/Kobe/Wade-level season as a guard. Obviously the league is different now so we can't really argue that he's actually as good or whatever, but he deserves his respect. His numbers are great/elite from all around the floor too, whether you look at his paint scoring, his mid-range, or his 3s.

His #2 is a rookie, his #3 is a 2nd-year player. 0 all-star teammates. Third youngest team in the league. I think there's an argument to be made that he's been better than Jokic this RS.

[SATAN]

No one is NOT giving SGH his respect. No one even says anything bad about him. Yeah stats cool...

Gonna be amazing to witness Jokic show him who's actually him in the WCF though (if OKC make it that far)

Let's see how good he is...Bookmark it...

You don't care about stats and yet the image you posted in the OP shows Shai's stats

Jokic > SGA

[tontoz]

SGA would win MVP in a lot of seasons with the year he's having. The problem is that Jokic has been ramping it up lately. In his last game he had 32/16/16 with 4 steals, absolutely absurd.

Is this really what we’re doing right now?
