    Aaron Gordon is no slouch. For many of the playoff games last season he was the best player on the team, and that includes even Jokic and Murray.

    How they constantly marginalize Jokic accomplishes, its simple unbelieveable!!

    SAS always gives Jokic many compliments but never once voted for him

  5. @don_trizzy

    put motorcade in the mix please!!!

    SAS is a racist

  7. @callingcap4336

    February 25, 2026 at 7:18 pm

    Why would jokic get the mvp he been in and out the lineup

  8. @tahari100

    February 25, 2026 at 7:21 pm

    The SGA omission and disrespect from every media site is ridiculous

  9. @devxplayerdevelopment

    February 25, 2026 at 7:23 pm

    Is this a joke?? Shai is the MVP and it’s not even close. What!?

  10. @nazdalaan

    February 25, 2026 at 7:28 pm

    Jalen Brown, it’s not even close. Seriously

  11. @connormacleod1490

    February 25, 2026 at 7:29 pm

    Jokic is a stat marvel but he does not have the winning impact like SGA does.

  12. @Taxiclip

    February 25, 2026 at 7:49 pm

    You know who its is. Its Jokic..but youll resist it…again.

    One guys team is 2nd seed and the other is 4th seed

    This Cade and Brown bias is insane i even got Wemby above em tbh

  15. @hustlehard7514

    February 25, 2026 at 8:05 pm

    All due respect to Mad Dog 20/20, OKC can win a 1st round. They WOULD NOT beat Spurs or Nuggets w/o SGA.

    I WANT IGUODALA!!!

    Who deserves the MVP: the best player in the universe or an average Jaylen Brown? Tough choice.

    • @dken2006

      February 25, 2026 at 9:50 pm

      average?

  18. @brettrobbins2707

    February 25, 2026 at 8:27 pm

    Easily Jokic, if he misses the min games then it’s Cade

  19. @clickslidebang1871

    February 25, 2026 at 8:39 pm

    Tnh I expected to see boston miss playoffs

  20. @alexdumay3034

    February 25, 2026 at 9:01 pm

    SA has never voted for Jokic for the MVP btw

  21. @GianniLaMonica-q1o

    February 25, 2026 at 9:04 pm

    It’s clearly brown, the league just refuses to give Boston an mvp lol

  22. @edm1207

    February 25, 2026 at 9:15 pm

    It should be jaylen brown coz hes doing more with less but they are going to give it to cade

  23. @ThePillisReal

    February 25, 2026 at 9:31 pm

    I like how luka can put up 30 10 and 10 and the media will drag him for being a “cone”, then will turn around and give jokic mvp for putting up the same numbers and playing even worse defense and even one year having a worse record than what luka was able to get his team to.

  24. @marcquiesemaultsby8981

    February 25, 2026 at 10:20 pm

    Cade!!!! I’m sick of ya leaving him out !!!

  25. @songohan4872

    February 25, 2026 at 10:20 pm

    Jalen Brown is MVP. Boston would be the worst team in the NBA without him literally. W/o Cade, pistons still have Duren. A Top 5 Center
