    No. I don't think MVP needs to come from an inner circle title contender, but you should probably be in the top 10 of your own conference before you get to warrant serious consideration

    This was my thought, and I don't think it really carries over to All-NBA.

    Problem is it's gotten really hard to find players with the combination of 1) good enough; and 2) played enough games to qualify. Because if you're not voting Luka once you get out of the top 4 I have no clue how anyone can throw together an argument they care about/believe in for just about anyone else. Tatum hasn't been great for a few months now, but at least he plays every night.

    Dame having a career year and not getting top 10 consideration is nuts.

    if they were hovering around the 7 to 8 seed and was still playing, I am sure he would be right in the mix around the SGA area. But instead, portland is wasting a career year

    i dont particularly care for or follow mvp discourse but i'm surprised giannis hasnt really entered the embiid-jokic conversation. the bucks have gone 15-4 since the 2.0 straw poll in mid-february and he's lost ground.

    he's on the title favorite and best team in the league. he's the consensus best player in the league. he's an elite two-way player. and his numbers are outrageous (31/12/6) and even better if you adjust to per36 as he plays fewer minutes than embiid and jokic.

    the bucks might win 60 games and he still might finish third. crazy!

    Sometimes MPJ looks like a max guy and sometimes he looks like he should be coming off the bench for the Shanghai sharks

    tonight he was rough , and Aaron Gordon without a trandscendent passer looks sad

    MPJ has a handful of nights like tonight every year. Like legit 0/10 type nights. It's uncanny considering how good of a shooter he is the rest of the time.

    Gordon is just really good as an off ball guy/defender. He unlocks a lot for Denver with Jokic but yeah he's not great outside that role

    Can you imagine your franchise being too cheap to pay Jalen Brunson and instead going all in on Kyrie fucking Irving?
