NBA.com’s updated MVP Ladder: 1. Victor Wembanyama 2. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 3. Nikola Jokić 4. Luka Dončić 5. Jaylen Brown 6. Cade Cunningham 7. Jalen Johnson 8. Kawhi Leonard 9. Donovan Mitchell 10. Anthony Edwards

Wemby makes his case for MVP: “Defense is 50% of the game… I believe I’m the most impactful player defensively in the league.” “We almost swept OKC in the season and we dominated them.” “Offensive impact is not just points.” (via @JaredWeissNBA)
