I’m a die-hard Celtics fan, but to even consider Tatum as the MVP is ridiculous. I can’t stand anything Perkins says. He’s a clown.

So why isn’t Perkins backing Doncic this year? 34 pts a game. Instead he’s backing the guy who’s 7th in scoring? Bottom line is Joker should be getting his 4th straight MVP this year and everybody knows it.

he was robbed last year...not surprise if the nba rob him again, but im not mad if luka wins

Jokic leads the ESPN straw poll currently 85/100

This should be his 4th in a row

Jokic deserves more🏺⚜⏳🍺

If Perk gets a vote, the system is flawed.

Where's the "What have they done in the playoffs?" crowd?

Nikola will happily see Luka getting mvp and Nuggets winning it all again.

This perk,stephen etc.Thay should be accountable and prosecuted for amount of lies and misinformation they throw into the air.this is not funny anymore,it’s disturbing…

Should be his 4th!!!!

💫💥💙💛🤍 MVP Jokic ✨️ Go Nuggets!! ✨️

Perkins is horrible.

Easy Joker MV3. Check the odds and straw polls.

JOK MVP

Gotta love clown perkins saying how jokic didnt deserve it last season despite being by far the best player on the best team(by record as well), but this season his main argument is that tatum is the best player on the best team. What an absolute clown. With like 95% of espn as a whole.

Jokic is likely the MVP every year from now until retirement. If the award is wrongly given to anyone else, it will be a mixture of bias, racism, and silly arguments.

Jokic legit has a triple double season has anyone done that ? Russell or . Damm lol

The MVP has turned an award depending on your skin color thanks to Hendricks and Stephen A. ESPN allows this kind of narrative. It's not a suprise if Jokic or Doncic doesn't win the award having better statistics.

Jokić doesn't care for MVP,he cares about his baby girl and horses

I really hope the media doesn't mess this up again, otherwise the mvp award loses all its credibility

Tatum is good, but he isn’t ANYWHERE close to being as good a Jokic.

If he doesnt win then its all b cus of one reason. The fact that the media cant accept a european(Serbian) Guy to have multiple MVP. Also it could happen because he isnt a showman, that screams around when scoring an easy bucket

2 great notes about Perkins' "Top 10 in scoring since 1990" MVP claim: Dirk was actually tied for 10th in scoring his MVP year, so he's wrong on that. Also, the year before his arbitrary 1990 start date, Magic Johnson won the MVP and was outside the top 10 in scoring. I know you're all shocked to hear that.

Jesus, that was a horrible, racist take by Perkins. Privilege is the ability to make as many racist statements as Stephen A and Perkins do, and still be on the air.

This is why you don’t have players picking teammates and under qualified former players voting on MVP! They have no idea what their talking about!

Jokic is the best . whay ? Because he has more prints than anybody else. Points+rebounds +asstestance + score procentage..

THE JOKER WILL WIN HIS THIRD MVP AWARD THIS YEAR 2023-2024 AND REPEAT AS THE FINALS MVP GO NUGGETS

This should be Jokics 4th mvp in a row which is insane to say haha but it’s true

Besides that, I don’t think Joker gives a shit.

You have to also consider that the entire east is full of inconsistent bums. The only realistic contenders in that conference is the bucks and Celtics, but the Celtics despite even having the best record can’t win a game when there actaully faced up with good competition. Now let’s get to Tatum there is no way he wins it over Luka, Giannis, Alexander, and Jokic there numbers are just better and the western conference is ten times more competive as three teams have mvp candidates, that’s saying something. No way in the world Tatum wins it.

Best of all Jokic does not care if he is going to get or not. He just want to finish the season go back home, enjoy the food, family, horses

He doesn't care

Perkins should be fired bro, js a hater and no knowledge

So long as jokic wins the finals mvp who cares about mvp. I really don’t think jokic cares about reg season mvp

Jokic care less about the mvp than we

I feel that most people who is voting for mvp, knows shit bout basketball

does perk know Jokic is #1 All Time PER? even ahead of Mj.

Man that was nasty robbery and Embid crying about it was embarrassing 😅 Jokic does not care about that at all, maybe Luka will be better this year, anyway Serbians are dominating basketball as usual:) 💪

Jokic literally just got 85% of first place votes in the final straw poll...

Jokic no question about that

Jokic 🐐

He will win because the guy in 2nd is also white

The idea that the *best* player on the team with the *best* record is the most *valuable* player is stupid beyond belief. The player that does the most to make his team a success is the most valuable to his team, which is why there is always the balancing act between "who is contributing what toward how much success". You cannot be the MVP on an unsuccessful team (how can you contribute value to a lack of achievement?) but it does not have to be the best team. And it is easier to be the MVP when you are clearly the key to the team's success rather than one of many--you are not as valuable if others can step up and cover for you. You are valuable if you are indispensable to the team's success. Otherwise, you are are replaceable.

Wasn't Jason Tatum and the Celtics the best team in basketball last year then why didn't he get it last year

The best thing is Jokic could care less,he's about winning Championships

Jokic deserves to LOSE the MVP. Then win the finals MVP. And the ring.

Give it to Joker

Yes he should have his 4th by now

Jokic will win. Luka losing to 10th Seed GS was a bad look. He puts up great stats, Chet has had a lot to do with Shai winning, because last year they were nothing. I think Jokic has played great but the fact he is the best Player and the most Important/Valuable means a lot. Jamal has missed more than 20 games, yet they are the first Seed.

He wasn’t behind Embid. He was so far ahead maybe you thought he was behind.

Jokic is miles ahead of everyone else.

For MVP, I like to factor in the advanced stats: In terms of win shares, it is SGA>Giannis>Luka In terms of PER, it is Giannis>SGA>Luka In terms of VORP, it is Luka>Giannis>SGA Of course, that is the race for 2nd because Jokic leads all of those categories by a wide margin. Jokic is a full point ahead in PER, has a 15% lead in win shares, and a 25% lead in VORP. Like, it isn't even close.

Jokic 1, Doncic 2. You can go either way, and you’d be right.

This aged pretty bad

Let them guard each other in a BIG GAME. Check their stats during CRUNCH TIME.

For those who know the truth this is jokers 4th mvp he was robbed by voter fatigue

Perkins sucks

Looks like we in the back of the bus now huh....

I like Luka but the Joker was robbed last year.

KENDRICCK PERKINS IS A TRUSH..WE ARE NOT BLIND LIKE YOU.. HAHA..

Facts

I want to see doncic win. He deserves it to because that team is useless without him except for kyrie

Hard to disagree w this. He’s not the most talented or exciting player to watch but for what he does, he does it very well.

The game is rigged the ref's are running the show and picking the teams the league wants.

Jokic is most valusble because when he is on the floor the team is winning. When he is on the bench, they are losing. He is the tip of the spear, this is why he is most valuable!

Almost as if there is more to basketball then scoring

It should have been lukas mvp to win this year... But we all know the media and the fans wanted to make up with their blunder MVP last year.

Jokic is gonna win. I think if Dallas was in the top 3 in the west Luka would win it.

Mvp is same joke as all star game!!!! Jordan should have 10

Any reason you failed to mention Luka’s stats? Could it be because they’re 34, 9, and 10, completely outshining everyone else?

The ridiculous voice?? Are you kidding me? Beyond annoying and stopped watching within 5 seconds. I love Jokic and am a season ticket holder, but for my sanity sake, can’t listen.

no, they won't give it to tatum, tatum is just a big a no show in clutch moments as Embid. The league is pushing for a Luka mvp this year. The reason? they don't want Jokic to take home no.3, because that will start up goat talks. and once those talks start up people will notice jokic is CAREER leader in every advanced metric in the book, those same advanced metrics the spots bobbleheads have been pushing for to prove LBJ is deserving of goat talk, those same advance metrics LBJ has trailed jordan in his whole carreer, but jokic now leads in all of them. It ruins a 20 year narrative the league has tried to build around lebron about him being the GOAT. so they'll give it to Luka. I think they'd rather give it to Shay, but there isn't a credible argument you could make for him over luka or jokic. same for tatum. that's why it will be Luka the league will push hard for.

Lasted about 10 seconds with that narrator's voice. I'm out.

Luka should get it but they will give it to Jokic

Are people still listening to this clowns after last year fiasco

Jokic must get they robbed him last year that shame they will never erase nobody was even close to him and they just bcs Embid was black and cry they give him,and I afraid this year maybe give to other black Shai even Doncic deserve much more if you wish to destroy Jokic at least give to second best Luka! I hope they will honour Jokic they don't need to honour but just keep for same principles why you steal him last year,last year was he was never win championship till he don't get ring he can't be MVP....so now same must be for Shai only next year he can win MVP and that's if this year get ring!!! Let's be fair what standard have for one must have for all or you all just liar's!!! And Shaq is biggest liar he was all season Big man Big man and now Black man Black man that show man character and who he is as a man! Biggest dude who is smallest in heart bcs Bryant take LA from him and win championships with him or without him and show what is true superstars and real player!

Kendrick Perkins was A Boston Celtics

JOKIC MVP PLIZ

Jokić is the best!!!

Jokic

Voters jelly 🤷🏽‍♀️

With one chip?

Affirmative Action ?

i dont think Joker cares about no mvp he just wants the W's

Anthony Edwards is MVP.

*4th

because it's American Basketball League 😂 they want to save the LeBron Legacy

Shai is the MVP.

The shrill voice. Too much for me.

The Celtics did a phenomenal job building the team, the whole starting 5 is an all-star level group. But saying Tatum is the mvp simply because of the team record would discredit 90% of the past mvps including the most recent one he was so high on, Joel Embiid.

Me personally I'd give it to either Luka or SGA.. Both dudes are playing outta their minds

Jokić je car.

For me, my vote goes to Nicola, what anyone else says I stand with Nicola.

Jokic couldn't care less. It would just put him in the spotlight even more, which he hates

The Vegas odds are way too in favor of Jokic for him to lose it

They're pushinh for Shai, if they really are not racist they'd push Luka if they're still fatigued of Jokic, but will all know who they are. LOL

Actually its not true that Jokic was not top 10 in ppg in both MVP seasons, 6th in 21-22, and tied 10th in 20-21

The craziest thing is that none of these dudes care about MVP. Its a poplarity contest. These guys care about championships.

He needs to buff his freethrow numbers by flopping, Harden needs to come to Denver for a season.
