1. THEY FINALLY ANNOUNCED IT

2. Captain Canada

3. 2fts for SGA

4. Should have announced it ages ago

5. Giving him the MVP now to distract from the allegations

6. Our long nightmare is finally over. Close the Google Doc tab.

   Update: also a fuck you to TNT.

7. They actually remembered the award had to be handed out

8. Why did it take so long

9. Its funny this gets announced during the SGA hate parade lol

10. These awards take wayyyy to long to even care about !

11. Pretty crazy development from his Clippers and first few seasons in OKC

    From solid role guy to a nice starter to an all-star to an MVP

    Not a bad trade

12. They could’ve announced it earlier

13. r/nba and r/nbatalk 9/11

14. This will certainly shift the prevailing conversation re: the NBA today

    /s

15. He’s going to be presented the trophy at the free throw line

16. Worst thing to happen to r/nbatalk and r/nba since Embiid won

17. This sub’s 9/11.

18. It took so long that I just feel very underwhelmed lol

19. Canada’s own

20. as an OKC fan this couldn’t come at worse timing lmao

21. Wasn’t this supposed to be announced at 7 PM on TNT?

22. And now we can have 40 “Shoulda been Jokic” posts to replace the 40 “FREE THROW MERCHANT SHAI” posts

23. Jokic is happy he didn’t need to stay extra days in the US

24. OKC now have 

    Durant, Westbrook, and SGA mvps in about 11 years time span 

25. Why not do this yesterday in front of the crowd

26. Jokic averaged a 30 point triple double (essentially, he was at 29.6 points) and didn’t win. Will make for fun trivia someday.

27. Man these conference finals are gonna be so toxic. I’m so hyped as a neutral

28. Amazing that the Thunder either drafted or developed 4 MVP’s within 20 years.

29. don’t announce it for weeks than randomly have shams drop the news at 3:50 est in the afternoon. classic NBA

30. 3 different MVPs for a small market franchise in just 11 years is wild

31. Randomly announced it in the middle of a Wednesday afternoon

32. Waited this long to announce it and then it gets leaked hours before the announcement lol

33. Bronny got snubbed

34. As a Canadian, I am thrilled at this announcement. 2nd Canadian to win this honour after Steve Nash. I reckon there is at least another one in SGA’s future.

    On another note, it has now been 7 years since a US-born player won MVP (2018 – J. Harden).

    2019 – Giannis

    2020 – Giannis

    2021 – Jokic

    2022 – Jokic

    2023 – Embiid

    2024 – Jokic

    2025 – SGA

35. this subs 9/11
