    This is the new narrative. How many MVPs have won a championship the same season?

    Okc & Indiana are on a collision course to meet in the finals. They can go deeper in their bench than minnesota & ny

    Everyone in the building thought the game was over, including the Knicks themselves. They deserved that loss the way they finished. Not enough credit being given to the Pacers for keeping their foot on the gas. Call Hali’s shot lucky if you want but β€œluck is the residue of design”.

    Jokic the REAL MVP πŸ€ if you use objectivity in analysis of stat facts aggregate πŸ€” not even close

    Hahaha just always got to put a negative twist on something. Basically implying that he’s only the MVP if they win a championship lol. These guys all had other teams winning the championship and OKC was too young and experienced to win a title. Now they are the best team and if they don’t win a title SGA isn’t an MVP lol. How does NBA give this pathetic company the rights to cover their sport.

    League needs to intervene like they did in the past β€œprevent” OKC from winning the title. Bad look for the league to have a foul baiter be the face.

    Highway robbery taking the MVP from Jokic. Nuggets without Jokic is a joke, OCT without SGA is just fine. Stats and VALUE for the team is obviously favoring Jokic. The media narrative rigged it.
