1. "MVP: 1. Beardo, 2. Giannis, 3. Steph" In response to Reply # 0
DPOY: 1. PG13, 2. Rudy (he'll almost certainly get it by the end of the year; they were just so bad, even defensively, to start the season), 3. Myles Turner (This year, this award feels like it should be cancelled and just retroactively given to Kevin Garnett or Tim Duncan)
ROY: 1. Euro Harden, 2. JJJ, 3. A very solid starter disguised as a number one pick
CotY: 1. Atkinson, 2. Doc, 3. Pop or McMillan
6th Man: 1. Fuck, it has to be Lou, huh? 2. Sabonis, 3. D-Rose (R.I.P. J.J. Barea)
MIP: 1. Siakam, 2. Winslow, 3. Booker (never have thought he's been an actual good NBA player until this season)

he also has refined and tightened his handle so he can take people off the bounce. Last year dribbling more than a few times had him falling down like a baby deer.

20. "I’d have him 3rd. Maybe 4th. " In response to Reply # 19
It sucks he’s having his best year when Giannis and Harden have been otherworldly. Kawhi has been amazing too - but I think PG probably edges him. Amazing year for the NBA.

28. "the argument against george:" In response to Reply # 21
- much better sidekick than giannis or harden (or jokic for that matter, although he has moved ahead of jokic on my ballot)
- george ranks highly in all the categories that matter (player impact plus-minus, player impact estimate, win shares, box plus-minus, value over replacement player, player efficiency rating, real plus-minus, wins above replacement player) but isn't the actual leader in any of them, while giannis and harden are
so he's definitely behind giannis and harden for me, but solidly in 3rd. dude is killing shit, basically having a 2014 KD season with 2016 steph shooting and 2017 kawhi defense. sick.

27. "Is that supposed to mean anything?" In response to Reply # 25
Particularly considering that the Nuggets are the second best team in the west when most thought a successful season would be making the playoffs. Or that they've done so while having more critical players miss significant time than any other team. And of course, GOATic has steadfastly balled out and put up ridiculous stats that have translated into wins all damn year.
Is any part of that not MVP material? Oh, he doesn't play defense. I guess we should give it to Harden, then.
Again, I give it up to Giannis so far but for Niko to hardly be mentioned in here... lulz!
His top competitors all run better offenses, and you admit he's an outright liability on D. They've repeatedly fizzled when playing the league's best, and he has more talent alongside him than Harden has all year and even arguably Giannis, injuries included.
So, what the fuck are you talking about? Jokic has been really, really good. Probably the seventh or eighth best player in the league. But he's a liability on one end, and Houston, Golden State, and Milwaukee all sport better offenses.
He wins a lot, but Milwaukee, Toronto and Golden State win more. So... this is dumb. We get it. The passes are pretty. So are Ben Simmons and Lonzo's.
