    That tweet above says the Suns COULD get 4 1st round picks…… and the Mavs COULD have got 10? Shit, we COULD get 6 for Ant. What a horse shit collections of words.

    Is there really a race for MVP?

    How can anyone rationalize not voting for Jokic?

    Put Joking on the Thunder and Shai on Nuggets and Thunder would be better than they are now and Denver would be worse than they are now

    Stats wise, Jokic wins
    Value to team, Jokic wins

    Best player on best team, team is good.

    I think this is all marketing so there is something to talk about and to generate NBA buzz but there is no race in my opinion. If you vote for SGA, it's just for something new. Jokic should be 5 straight MVPs

    Isn’t Booker is a franchise all star level player?

    Jokic is MVP. No question.

    I don't think so.

    To be a franchise level all-star, you should be an all-star participant at least 75% of the time (Dame level or better).

    Booker is more like a LMA type all-star. (closer to 25%-50% of the time).

    I agree. He's in the top 3 for points, rebounds, and assists. That's insane.
    and in the top 10 for 3 point percentage.

    Dame was able to drag worse teams than the Suns into the playoffs. Booker doesn't have that kind of gravity

    Doc should have saved the timeout to move the ball up. The shot by Hali was clearly ok and the foul was blatant. And yeah give Giannis the ball and take an air ball 3. Give it to dame for fucks sake.

    Not the kinda guy you want to attempt an open field tackle on is he?

    What would it take to get Zion out of NOP?

    I think the real question is can he make it to the end of the season without another injury?

    Junior Bridgman… RIP

    Remember watching him play for the Bucks as a little kid.
    Arguably one of the greatest success stories OFF the court a basketball player has ever had. You thought Jordan had a lot of money!!??

    RIP Ulysses.

    One hell of a businessman. Wendy's, Chili's, Coca Cola, Ebony and Jet magazines, minority governor of the Bucks. Guy knew what the hell he was doing.

    Junior Bridgeman was a huge success, but Jordan had/has more money.
