@MiroslavCuk If the Nuggets want to milk Jokic properly for the last time they should trade him, not Murray. That will be the last handsome return from Nikola Jokic for the franchise that give him his chanse and his money.

If Jamal Murray actually becomes part of real trade talks, he would be one of 5 best players in trade machines this summer. It's why I believe Denver could get a handsome return.

@espn @wemby @spurs He is great, but not enough minutes played to be DPOY, let alone unanimous.

DP👽Y WEMBY Victor Wembanyama is the first-ever UNANIMOUS Defensive Player of the Year 🏆 @wemby | @spurs

@Utdwavee It's Huston organization fault. Instead of giving their young core time to learn from their first playoff failure, they brake up the young core and bring KD who is an amazing scorer and player, but not exactly a leader on or off the floor. That core needed one more year.

I think it’s disrespectful to the level of player Nikola Jokic is to call Alperen Segun “baby Jokic”

@RUGGED099 @BleacherReport You guys are not ready for healthy Nuggets.

@sejver4 @BleacherReport Objectively, from what I have seen, they go about 7 deep. Not enough talent on the bench to compete with OKC or S.A. And certainly not the Celtics even if they did miraculously get to the finals. Also not consistent enough defensively. 😏

NBA PLAYOFFS ARE HERE‼️ WHO'S WINNING IT ALL?

@RUGGED099 @BleacherReport Nuggets don't have enough what? This is the best team Jokic has ever had, so as a Nuggets fan , this is the first time I have high expectations, and anything except finals appearance will be a failure. So I need an objective perspective, they don't have enough what?

@BleacherReport Celtics vs. Thunder seems like the most logical finals. Pistons are not ready, Knicks are never ready. I respect Jokic immensely, but Nuggets don't have enough. Spurs could shock people, but their young coach could make mistakes. So yeah, it all kinda feels predictable.

@VojaMedic Yeah, but Jokic had bad January with 25/13/10, so this doesn't count.

Not sure how this stat is calculated but it seems like the thing that SGA is best at, Jokić is also better at?

@RCsWrld And they give him assists for these?!?!

Nikola Jokić – ‘25/26 Magic-esque passing The ability to manipulate where the defense thinks the ball is going to go, is one of the most underrated parts of Joker’s playmaking

@PaesanoPete @Adam_Mares "Presented the facts, even the Gods are silenced", so our personal feelings are not important. As I said , I am not invested in the MVP race, but continous undervaluing of Jokic's carrier is something that bothers me.

@sejver4 @Adam_Mares i don’t necessarily agree that jokic is having a better individual season but i am surprised the race isn’t closer.

Nuggets fans will hate me for the MVP pick. THJ set a Nuggets 3FG record and was the x-factor in a LOT of Nuggets wins. Murray is 2nd team All NBA

@PaesanoPete @Adam_Mares So we can agree that Jokic is having the best individual season, but we can also agree that SGA is very deserving of his second MVP award? If that's true, answer the question that's triggering me. Should SGA be 95% favorite, or should the race between Jokic and SGA be closer?

@sejver4 @Adam_Mares PRA? sure, but i don’t put a ton of stock into those, especially when evaluating very different players. a lot of the advanced stats are mixed. like shai leads in EPM comfortably

@PaesanoPete @Adam_Mares And you don't agree that Jokic has better numbers than SGA? Not who should be MVP, just the numbers.

@sejver4 @Adam_Mares i agree wemby’s minutes are a big knock against him

@PaesanoPete @Adam_Mares The numbers say it, I don't . Wemby is great, with potential to be many things. But not this year, not with minute restriction, and not with his numbers this year. So he shouldn't be in conversation with Jokic and SGA ,let alone second favorite.

@sejver4 @Adam_Mares i’m not undervaluing his season. they are all three having amazing seasons. not sure you can say definitively who has been “best”

@PaesanoPete @Adam_Mares Some pundit, who doesn't have a vote, and just managed to lose half of his fans and the fans of his product , is maybe, just maybe, the cherry on the top of all the nonsense. Jokic's season shouldn't be undervalued, not like this, no matter who will be the MVP at the end.

@sejver4 @Adam_Mares also the original tweet is from a guy who IS invested in denver and jokic. crazy that he can be more objective than you, considering you “aren’t invested”

@PaesanoPete @Adam_Mares It's accumulation of factors, and I don't have any problem with SGA being B2B MVP. But I expect even biased fans being capable of saying or realizing that Jokic is having the best individual season. Jokic being 3rd in the race in such a wide margin is nonsense.

@sejver4 @Adam_Mares MVP isn’t best player, and even that i think is debatable. three players having historic seasons in different ways. one guy is 10 games behind the others. like it or not that does factor in

@PaesanoPete @Adam_Mares I am not invested in MVP race at all for 3 years. But the nonsense I am reading and watching in past month about SGA being 95% favorite and Wemby being second with the player who is actually having the best individual season having 0,4% chanse has triggered me a lot. Nonsense!!!!

@sejver4 @Adam_Mares most efficient, aside from a guy named michael jordan. OKC was proclaimed to have the best season in history, then got absolutely demolished by injuries and still won 64 games. a lot of sense, actually! and shai was on a mins restriction after the all-star break too 🤷‍♂️

@AndrewDBailey @bball_ref @Stathead Nuggets pundits are hilarious. Jokic was dragged through racist, xenophobic and jealousy mudd for all the MVP races through the years, and you still feel guilty to root for your player? Even after his best season? After leading in 2 main categories for the first time in history?

Always have to preface these posts by saying I understand Nikola Jokić isn't going to win the 2025-26 MVP, but prior to last season, the league leader in value over replacement player had won 10 of the previous 16 MVPs. Jokić just "won" that category for a sixth straight year.

@PaesanoPete @Adam_Mares One of the most efficient < most efficient, guard season < player season. OKC was proclaimed to have the best season in history by the half of the season, after that, they were just good. And SGA is still MVP favourite, plus the player on minute restriction is 2nd . Nonsense!

@sejver4 @Adam_Mares having one of the most efficient guard seasons ever, dragging a team down an all-nba player (and its second and third ballhandlers) to the 1 seed, was automatic in the clutch. the MVP is really more than points, rebounds and assists

@huub_zy @SlavujNick @Fantasy_Giant @UnderdogNBA TS% is most useless statistical category of them all. You can shoot 3/19 every game, but if you have 22/25 ft, your TS% will be 70+ %.

@SlavujNick @Fantasy_Giant @UnderdogNBA Shai leads Jokic in PPG, TS%, regular season wins, turnovers, Effective Box +/-, Win shares, win share per 48. These last three usually correlated the most with MVP wins as they are the benchmark of excellence. Look I'm not here to discredit Jokic season either, it's historic.

Highest FG% in NBA history by a guard averaging 30+ PPG: SGA - 55.3% (this season) Jordan - 53.9% ('90-91) Jordan - 53.8% ('88-89) SGA - 53.5% ('23-24) Jordan - 53.5% ('87-88)

@JustinAJensen @NBA__Courtside So, he leads in...nothing?

@sejver4 @NBA__Courtside Shai is second in both steals and blocks for the Thunder, and averages more deflections per game than Jokic. He also averages the same amount of blocks as a 7’ center.

Stan Van Gundy says Nikola Jokic is the same level defender as SGA 👀 “I think Jokic’s defense is underrated. I think that knock should’ve gone out 5 years ago. He’s not Wemby or Rudy Gobert, but he’s a solid defender…. I would put him the same level defender as I would put Shai on. I think Shai is good off the ball but never has to guard a high level scorer. Not because he can’t but they got Lu Dort, Cason Wallace, Jalen Williams. I’d put them on the same level” (Via Zach Lowe show)

@Yardiiiiiii @arkaavs He has different hairstyle also, but that's not enough to be b2b MVP.

@sejver4 @arkaavs Because he is doing everything more efficiently?

2026 Shai B2B MVP 31/4/7 in 33 min 34 PPG/75 66.5% ts (+8.6 rts) 60.2% on 2s 1st guard ever to hit 55% fg on 30+ PPG #1 all time in clutch PPG (6.5 PPG) #1 all time in consecutive 20 points games (140) #1 in EPM +9.3 (#3 all time) One of the greatest seasons of all time. ⚡️
