  11. Jokic makes it look easy. What can he not do? My MVP vote would have gone to Embid, but Jokic was a very close second. So consistent, not flashy, just kills his opponents with the fundamentals!!!!

  12. I get that Embiid was the better MVP storyline, but guys….come on. This isn't even close, and we've seen it so far in the Playoffs.

  13. Jokic showed once again why he was the actual MVP again this year. He's really making the woke voters look even more foolish. He is the best player in the league, by a large margin. Continually setting new nba records and doing things NOBODY in the history of the nba has ever done before.

  17. They really mess this up not giving this guy his 3rd in a row mvp. Now his on the journey to get that first ring. What a nice story if they give him what he deserve. But no they want to break that streak its because he will be compared to those legends who had 3mvp in a row

  18. Make sure you guys get your lives right with God before its too late and you guys go to Hell. You gotta stop watching porn, cursing, smoking, having sex before marriage, practicing homosexuality, smoking weed, vaping, getting drunk, dressing immodest, showing off your body, lying, and stealing these are some sins that will send vou guys to Hell turn to Jesus Christ and let Him save you before its too late. Start reading the Bible and praying. Start a relationship with Jesus Christ because He's coming back soon and make sure vou know for sure vou would spend eternity with Him and that your not going to Hell by living in sin, we need to start living Holy.

  21. Let's be honest. He's not as flashy as Michael Jordan but by any objective measure he is much better. He just doesn't have the rings yet. My guess is by the time his career ends he will have around 8 or 9.

  22. I’m a Blazer fan but so much respect for this guy.. Consistently making the right play just dissecting defenses.. Probably the highest IQ player in the league today.. And the best offensive center I’ve seen
