First a state championship and All State honors. Now this. Proud of you Ty. The hard work has paid off. @ArapahoeBoysLax @team91colorado

@Will_d_jones Like many other voters, he is numb to what Joker does night in and night out. It is so “normal” for Joker to dominate, voters have lost interest. And…the narrative.

So Jokić is fifth??? Look at what these people with votes are doing

@Novig @TheDunkCentral Now add Joker to this graphic…

@TheDunkCentral Jaylen Brown at least has the most games played!

Michael Wilbon says he’s voting Jaylen Brown for MVP “I have a vote in this. And I will tell you it’s tightened up. My vote, and I’m not even sure the order. I think it’s Jaylen Brown one, I think it’s SGA two, and I think it’s Victor three. And then don’t talk to me about a guy who plays half the court, Luka Dončić.” (Via @PTI h/t @awfulannouncing , @TheNBABase )

@TheNBABase One of the best stat lines in basketball history and it’s just an avg Tuesday for Nikola Jokic. People really have become numb to his greatness. He has normalized stat lines like this. If SGA did this it would break the internet.

MVP Voter Michael Wilbon says he would vote Jaylen Brown for MVP and slams Luka Dončić’s defense 😳 “I have a vote in this. And I will tell you it’s tightened up. My vote, and I’m not even sure the order. I think it’s Jaylen Brown one, I think it’s SGA two, and I think it’s Victor three. And then don’t talk to me about a guy who plays half the court, Luka Dončić.” (Via @PTI h/t @awfulannouncing )

@NBA He gets penalized in the MVP race because he has normalized stat lines like this. Frankly, 15 + 15 +15 is far more impressive than a streak of scoring 20 points in a game.

JOKIĆ AFTER DROPPING 23/17/17: "It just happens." It marks his 17th career game with 15+ points, 15+ rebounds and 15+ assists, extending his own NBA record 🤯

@realapp But Joker isn’t the MVP. What a joke.

Nikola Jokic just recorded the 5th fastest triple-double in NBA HISTORY 🤯

@statmuse Why not include Joker in this graphic? We all know why?

Pick a player: 24.3 PPG 31.5 PPG 11.2 RPG 6.6 APG 3.0 BPG 1.4 SPG 62.0 TS% 66.6 TS%

@CooperJNBA Just ignoring Jokic’s historic season. Folks have become desensitized to how much he impacts games. If averaging a triple double with his efficiency doesn’t merit the MVP, then the criteria is flawed. Being the first EVER to lead the league in RBs and Assts is special.

Zach Lowe (and Mo Dakhil) have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as their MVP: “I think Shai, start to finish, this is his MVP. He also has a 400 minute advantage over Wembanyama, which, it matters, that’s a lot. When Shai is putting up the kind of value he is, on both ends of the floor… And he’s shooting the way he’s shooting, throw in the minutes, if they clinch the No. 1 seed, I think it’s his MVP. I do think Wemby has a real case, I think he’s made it to 2nd on my ballot, over Jokic…” (via The Zach Lowe Show)

@LegionHoops @7PMinBrooklyn It seems that everyone is forgetting that Joker is about to do something never done before…lead the league in RBs and Assts and averaging onky a couple points less than the one trick pony SGA. Dude is averaging a triple double and gets the worst whistle in the league.

Carmelo Anthony: “The players know who the real MVP is. That’s all that matters… To me I think it’s clear cut. I think it’s SGA. Best team in the NBA. Best player on the team. That’s hard to argue and the man averaging 30. When you see a MVP, you know.” (via @7PMinBrooklyn, h/t @NBA__Courtside)

@ohnohedidnt24 Imagine if the refs allowed SGA to be guarded with that same physicality and grabbing??? He would never get the ball. Jokic only gets it because he can seal and get high lob pass.

Marc Spears on Jokic: "I'm actually hearing that the Nuggets are a little concerned about how he's being defended of late. Teams are guarding him 18 feet from the basket, leaning on his legs, fronting him, putting their arms around him but he's still figuring out a way to ball out"

@TheDunkCentral Not surprised Carmelo would think this. He was the same player as SGA. Only out for himself and doesn’t make his teammates better. OKC is a juggernaut regardless of SGA. The Nuggets fall out of the playoffs without Jokic.

Carmelo Anthony says SGA is the MVP “The players know who the real MVP is. That’s all that matters… To me, I think it’s clear-cut. I think it’s SGA: best team in the NBA, best player on the team. That’s hard to argue, and the man is averaging 30. When you see an MVP, you know.” (Via @7PMinBrooklyn / h/t @NBA__Courtside )

I miss this team 🥹

@KalshiHoops You forgot about 26 and 28 points. Can we look at anything other than scoring? Is he a great scorer? Yeah for sure. But Joker’s stats and team impact clear Shai by miles. I think the V stands for valuable.

Last 2 Seasons: Most Games with 20+ Points: #1 — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Most Games with 25+ Points: #1 — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Most Games with 30+ Points: #1 — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Most Games with 35+ Points: #1 — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Leads significantly in each.

@Bball_CO Make your FTs?

I’m not going to say it

@statmuse @Novig You picked the wrong guy. Jokic is having the greatest season of all-time. Even better than the second best season of all time. Which was also him, last year, when SGA stole that MVP too. Doesn't even include his record breaking PER at 33.5 this season as well.

@Wesley_Burke1 Amen coach. Annoying. Congrats on a nice season. Nice to meet you at our scrimmage.

I’m tired of this damn ACL commercial when I’m trying to load up a game on NFHS! I have to knock on wood every time! 🏀

@denverrefugee NBA officiating is so curious, but they got that flagrant correct. His flailing trying to get around picks is intentional. That challenged call on Christian was a total joke. He clearly hit the ball first.

Dort needs a visit from the Jokic Bros

@coachbue @askthecoach1 @hoopdreamsbball Great point.

@askthecoach1 @hoopdreamsbball Kids in our society I told to sit at a desk, be quiet, don’t tell others what to do or you’re a bully. Then we ask them to “talk” in practice and games. It’s something that takes a while to retrain.

I don't know why talking is so difficult for HS players. Communication can help you get minutes.
