There’s definitely bias. Undeniably. The MVP convo is weirder than it’s ever been. Both things can be true.

in the seasons he won MVP?
And all that to have the same amount of rings. We're talking MVPs, why do y'all always pivot to playoff talk? No one cares that Jokic plays efficiently while getting kicked out the playoffs. It has nothing to do with MVP

Yea it's weird that only one player was in the convo the majority of the season and valid criticism of his game is deemed nasty. Agreed

Who is y’all? People who are on your “side” have consistently brought up MVP talk for weeks now. You been missing for this convo?
I have no dog in this fight. 3 dudes having incredible seasons and all deserving on winning MVP. The convo is redundant and weird. Will be glad when it’s over.

white people being this defensive about admitting inherit bias, is saying something
seemed wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too eager to correct what perk said “80%” to 68%

The way it's been talked about in here lives will be significantly altered based on who wins.
I'm praying it's a just result.
BIG LEEMELONE

That is why this has been a big topic.. the media had Giannis/Embiid nowhere near joker

Yea, playoff performance has been extremely important to the #AnybodyButJokic guys for weeks. Then we started getting video montages of defense. The discussion has just been nasty. Embiid is in the lead now. Curious to see how the season ends.
My guy they was talking but it wasnt gaining momentum like it is this past month
Joker was the clear favorite since the season started and got out to a HUGE lead that he didnt deserve
And yea i go by gambling odds
Vegas knows

Like, why even lie about this?
Tatum and KD we’re getting heavy bump for MVP early on. Creating their own realities.

Truly do hope this gets addressed proactively because it's getting real bad...
With the wholehearted embrace of gambling too by leagues it just makes it all feel even nastier

Jayson Tatum led the first MVP straw poll taken in December. “2 months in”. Joker was 4th.
The second was taken in mid February where Joker then led.
Pretty easy to look up.

Jokic been the most consistent MVP candidate when you factor in individual and team success until the last three weeks.
Embiid was very good but the Sixers were 12-12 at one point in December before ripping off a bunch of wins. Embiid been on a crazy run the last six weeks.
Giannis was very good (had a dip in the beginning of January though), keeping the Bucks afloat before winning like 16 straight games.

Jokic won 48 games on a 6 seed last year. That's what makes malone's comments so ******* stupid
