Shai vs Jokic Will Be Another HOSTILE Battle For MVP!!
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander vs. Nikola Jokic: The Hostile NBA MVP Race
Analyze the intense early-season NBA MVP battle between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) and Nikola Jokic and determine if pre-set opinions or voter bias are skewing results before the season is halfway done.
Short Summary
- The panel strongly leans toward Nikola Jokic regaining the MVP award, suggesting SGA's previous win was based on popular opinion.
- Team winning records (OKC leading the league versus the Nuggets) are a major point of contention that divides their cases.
- Jokic is statistically historic, pacing higher on Player Efficiency Rating (PER) than SGA, despite SGA maintaining elite performance levels.
- The discussion heavily critiques the current MVP voting process, citing media bias toward big markets and pre-determined ballots.
- The consensus is that the outcome depends entirely on whether voters prioritize team success—as SGA has—or unparalleled individual historic efficiency—as Jokic demonstrates.
The discussion centers on whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Nikola Jokic deserves the current MVP lead. Speakers debate the merits of team record versus historical statistical dominance, especially considering past MVP voting patterns that allegedly favored specific narratives or larger markets. Ultimately, the group struggles to definitively pick a winner this early, highlighting deep flaws in how votes are currently cast.

Stephen A has NEVER voted for Jokic. He said Tatum was the MVP one year and Jokic was second. When Tatum went down he looked immediately for the next player and discovered Shai and started pushing him. He had never even MENTIONED Shai as a candidate before then. With Stephen A his voting strategy is “Anyone but Jokic.” It’s sickening.
We still doing the "OKC are bunch of nobodies" gimmick even now when they are defending champions? 2nd year in a row having a historic record? Aight lmao
What did Jokic do to nick young when he had his little stint in Denver? lol that dude been a jokic hater since he’s been on this show 😂
All this Shai doesnt play the fourth quarter is BS. The dude averages 1 LESS minute than joker. He gets his minutes in 3 quarters
We already went through this shit last year. We literally saw how thunder played without shai in those like 7 games he sat out and guess what? The thunder were still cooking teams without shai. Without shai that thunder team is still a top 3 seed. For nuggets its the opposite. Theyre a top 3 seed with jokic and without him their offensive rating literally drops to the worst in the league. Also nuggets is 11-3. Not 11-4 People talk about how perkins is the worst nba analyst and host, atleast he came around and is one of the main analysts alongside jefferson etc that keeps glazing jokic, nick on the other hand is straight up just a jokic hater. Bros argument at 20:42 is proof that some people shouldnt have a voice when talking about the nba. Bro literally admitted he likes shai and he will not change his opinion for another mvp just because he likes him over jokic. Thats literally the argument for every jokic hater analyst on the internet. When actual numbers analyst brings up number to counter these fools they turn into crickets. Jj reddick brlugh up all jokic humbers, efficiency etc to stephen A when stephen A tried to say jokic doesnt have a post game and stephen A just sat in his seat quiet because he didnt know what to say.
This 1 seed shit is wack...Jokic lost an MVP as a 1 seed.
Did you guys know that Jokic leads the decade in points, boards, assists and STEALS?? If this isn't the best player in the league I don't know what is...he should be MVP
I find it funny how they dont care for people like Stephen A or kendrick perkins takes on basketball but care about a award ONLY people like them can vote on😂
Who is Kenyon to think his opinion is end all be all 🤔 I hate that
