I’d be surprised if we don’t see a defensive regression in the playoffs similar to those recent Jazz teams.

Not like wealthy people are exempt from doing dumb things with their money. Lots of stories about rich people getting screwed over and losing money due to bad financial advice or unscrupulous managers/family members. Including some NBA players.Cats in here are too cheap to pay for Netflix every month but want to give a multimillionaire advice on where to keep his money

That sound good but Giannis is straight up better than Jokic. Giannis being dominant on offense and defense shows he's more valuable. He was victim of "voter fatigue" but Jokic who plays no defense and hasn't done much in the playoffs (since the bubble was fake) ain't.

If Giannis making nonsensical money moves he should go all in
Do like my West Indian grandmother who hides money in spots all over her bedroom.
This woman probably got thousands of dollars in hiding spots, and since she is old and does not need the money she keeps forgetting where she puts it, and randomly stumbles upon sou-sou money she collected like 5 years prior

Yeah potentially being a 3x MVP, while not being able to play a lick of defense is crazy.
Wasn't that mentioned as one of the main factors when Giannis won over Harden?

What Giannis is doing is a minority mindset. My family is the same way. Immigrant mentality where you must be safe with every dollar. Very rarely make financial risky moves or let your money work for you. They’ve been like that for decades.
There are way better ways for the top 1% like Giannis to make passive income than keep it in 50 banks because it’s insured.
Finance is literally 90% psychological.

Harden, AI, Steph etc all need their MVPs melted down if the criteria includes being an elite defender.

When the race is as tight as it is this year you have to factor in all aspects of the game. Giannis and Embiid are just as good if not better than Jokic offensively and defensively it's not even a question. Especially as a big man you have to consider defense. It's really hard to justify Jokic as MVP. These guys are neck and neck in every criteria with a huge gap in one category. Should be easy

Jokic and Embiid is at least a debate. Who thinks Jokic is better than Giannis? Anybody?
Winning 3 MVP's in a row used to mean you're dominating the league. You're above the rest of your competition. If that's that's hate and bias I'll take.
People want different rules when they love a player.

We're comparing guards to a 7'0 guy. He should at least be able to offer a pinch of rim protection.
Especially when the other two guys are elite on that end.

why is past seasons' playoff success a factor in the 2022-23 regular season MVP discussion

Article doesn’t appear to specify the nature of the accounts but at any income level you wanna keep as little as possible in a checking account.
Having $12M just sitting there not multiplying is less than ideal, to put it mildly

I’m not sure anyone in here has ever said Joker was a better player than Yanni

Oh trust me I know. Immigrant here as well and studied behavioural finance.
I keep no cash though. No fixed income either. 100% risk on all the time with a little bit of leverage. Sometimes you gotta just trust the science

Those dudes also won at least 50 games. Jokic ain't do that his first 2 MVP's.

Because you can't justify 3 MVP's to somebody that can't at least make a conference finals.
I’m not sure anyone in here has ever said Joker was a better player than Yanni
And that's the point if you catch up. One is "voter fatigue" while the lesser player don't gotta deal with that.

What if I told you Joker has in fact made the conference finals?
And that someone else in the MVP convo never has?

Just to throw this out there - and I'm not saying anyone is better than anyone in particular - if we're truly talking about value to their team, Donovan Mitchell and Brunson should get love. But they're nowhere near the debate.
I think if I'm ranking my order for the actual award, it goes:
1a. Embiid
1b. Giannis
2. Jokic
