Giannis’ numbers are better than LeBron’s and his team has won more games than LeBron’s. It’s Giannis. Should be unanimous but it won’t. The other awards will go to Morant, Nurse, Siakam, and AD (but should be Gobert).
Dame’s PER is better than LeBron’s. Giannis’ PER (7th best all time) is a full 3 points ahead of 2nd in the NBA, Harden (who I would also vote for over LeBron).
Sorry FAMS.....LeBron is 35 and is leading the league in assists. Putting up fantastic numbers. He gets it. Give it to Giannis for the next 10 seasons.
So you are one of those PER is the absolute when it comes to judging a player. Isn't there some holes in the PER system though?
Being 35 doesn’t make you more qualified. LeBron couldn’t get Lakers to playoffs til he had AD (3rd in PER this season) who deserves MVP over LeBron too. Stockton led league in assists a bunch of times too. Never won MVP. Same with Mark Jackson.
PER plus Team wins. The only hole in PER is defense and Giannis is a better defender than LeBron too. LeBron had one of the best seasons ever in 2008-09 and won MVP because he deserved it. This year, Giannis deserves it.
You crack me up man,. When you get on your roll. You just toss stuff out there, it's awesome. You honestly think I want him to win the MVP ONLY BECAUSE HE LEADS THE LEAGUE IN ASSISTS? Of course not! You honestly think I want him to win the MVP ONLY BECASUE HE IS 35? Of course not! It's the complete body of work. LeBron is 35 and has had an amazing season is all I'm saying. Can you imagine his numbers if he played in the east this season. Of course Giannis is right up there, but he's about to get at least 5 more of em! There were a couple seasons LeBron DIDN'T win when he deserved to.
AD is third all time in career PER by the way. LeBron is 2nd (GOAT is 1st). Shouldn’t Lakers have one of the best records of all time? (They don’t.)
His complete body of work will be honored when he is inducted in HOF. No one is saying LeBron isn’t having a top 5 MVP- caliber season but Giannis is #1 and it’s not close. Giannis is not guaranteed to win the next 5. Doncic is going to win a bunch of MVPs soon.
