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

    Oh stfu, how many MVPs lose the finals? Better yet, donโ€™t even make it there.

    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 Haliโ€™s shot lucky if you want but โ€œluck is the residue of designโ€.

    Jokic the REAL MVP ๐Ÿ€ if you use objectivity in analysis of stat facts aggregate ๐Ÿค” not even close

    Hahaha just always got to put a negative twist on something. Basically implying that heโ€™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 donโ€™t win a title SGA isnโ€™t an MVP lol. How does NBA give this pathetic company the rights to cover their sport.

  21. @DoremonUCR

    May 22, 2025 at 8:08 pm

    League needs to intervene like they did in the past โ€œpreventโ€ 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.
