Brian Windhorst: "if there's someone other than Tatum who has a shot at MVP is SGA"

[k0kakw0rld]

All because he's Canadian and not American, smh...

Two way player, one of Kobe's disciples, 31 ppg wiwithout a reliable 3pt shot.

He's my MVP SGA

[tontoz]

Las Vegas odds currently have him at +210, second only to Jokic.

[Axe]

Hopefully, sga leads the thunder to somewhere bet. the 4th-6th seed last year.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Nash has 2 MVPs. The idea that there is an anti Canadian bias is idiotic.

[ImKobe]

Tatum was 6th with ZERO first place votes in the latest ESPN MVP straw poll (10 days ago) while SGA was 2nd with 24 1st place votes (Giannis and Luka had 5 combined at #3 and #4). .

Tatum's on a loaded ass team where he's not even the best Celtic on the floor in about half the games. You can't win an MVP doing that. SGA is arguably better on both ends of the court and he has better raw volume and also destroys JT in efficiency and his help isn't anywhere near as good and he's only 1.5 games out of the 1st seed.

The media does still love Jokic, but I think there's less & less people who want to give him 1st place votes this year, just because he's not on par with his previous seasons (worse team success + below his personal peak numbers) and because they want someone else to win. If the top 4 of the West standings end up the same as it is today I think this is SGA's MVP to lose.

You can absolutely win MVP as the best player on the best team. Finishing this second part of the season strong Tatum can definitely be a factor in the MVP race.

SGA deserves it more than Tatum.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Who the **** has Tatum as the MVP? Jokic is clearly MVP, followed by Luka and SGA.

Hilarious watching bums like Embiid and Tatum try to politic their way into MVP votes. Such a disgusting loser trait to have.

It is pretty cringe, Embiid at least has a legitimate claim to being the most valuable regular season player (before the injury obv). Altho I agree it looks very mentally weak to be publicly lobbying for it. I honestly don't have Tatum in the top 5. Tatum's case is purely about Boston's record, in other words giving Tatum credit somehow for Boston having the best roster.

How 'bout Luka?

[FultzNationRISE]

How 'bout Luka?

41 tonight in a win against the Suns. 50% from 3, 7-7 FTs. 11 assists to go with it.

Dallas got healthier and better at the trade deadline. They could go on a run over the last couple months here.

Luka will have a definite claim to the award if they do.

[SATAN]

How 'bout Luka?

Would have averaged 19/7/6 in the 90s.

You can, but in JT's case he's just not producing enough to be in the conversation atm. Celtics are a well-oiled machine and don't need him to be an MVP-level player to be the best team in the league, at least in the RS. In a way that's good for him as he's under less pressure and can save his legs for the POs.

The ESPN shows discuss him when the MVP topic comes up. He's not the favorite but by definition that is him being in the conversation.

[nayte]

Giannis should win it .
