Stephen is wrong. Giannis has the stats, the winning record (with arguably a weaker team) and imo has the flair. I’d vote for the Human Alphabet, the Greek Freak; Giannis Antetokounmpo!

OMG! can Max stop talking about LeBron’s passing game, as if he’s Magic Johnson. LeBron makes a basic chest pass and now he’s the greatest passer of all time. WTF

The 2 real contenders are Giannis and Jokic. Jokic plays less minutes than Harden PG and Giannis yet average a double double and also less turnovers. Also, Nuggets are second in the western conference thanks to their only all star Nikola Jokic. Although, I’d put Giannis a bit ahead of him.

It hurts me seeing James harden in the race. He’s unbelievably overacted but if you actually watch him play he hurts his team. Him being out is why the rockets beat the warriors last week.

The thing is is that PG could be running for defensive player of the year, ontop of his offense…

Why the fuck are we acting like James harden hasn’t been putting up historic numbers this season and is having a better season then last year this is shameful

Stephen A. must understand that knowing 5 stats and yelling like an idiot doesn’t make you dr. at basketball. Giannis is the MVP right now. This does not mean that Harden or George are not MVP-worthy players.
