He is averaging 28, 14 and 9 through 8 playoff games so far. No one will blink or notice unless Denver wins a ring.

But if he delivers a ring with numbers like that he’d be turning in one of the all time great post season performances. That combination of rebounds and assists is hard to find anywhere else.

y'all are fricking insane. Where do you come up with this shite.
Then you'll blame others for victim mentality.
The guy has back to back MVPs.
He didn't win this year because of voter fatigue. Which has happened to people like Lebron as well.
Y'all are sick of race shite but don't miss the opportunity to bring it up

the narrative you're trying to create is really dumb


basically everyone that covers basketball is in awe of what he does constantly, just because Perkins goes on one of his ill-advised rants...

Tf are you talking about. He's universally regarded as a top 3 player in the NBA today. He is a 2x MVP winner.

Forgotten about where? To non-NBA fans? He is easily one of the most respected guys in the league right now.

You think Embiid would’ve been throwing passive aggressive shots in the media to Jokic if his primary MVP competition the past 3 years was anyone else?


Well, yea. He's a competitor you know.

Voter fatigue is always going to happen until you have playoff success. The fact he did as well as he did having never made a finals shows what the media thinks of him as a player.

The only player in the four major NA sports to win three consecutive MVPs without having already won a championship is Wayne Gretzky who was an obvious outlier in many ways. It really would have been something totally out of the ordinary to give the MVP to Jokic again even though he’s clearly the best player in the game.

It just shows the character of the media in general

Jokic was surprising and new and awesome and nothing changed but now they’re tired of him

Nah. This site died as soon as PT leaked into every other board. It’s a shell of what it once was.

I want you to try really hard to figure out why that leak happened.

Because the same people who demand that politics stay out of entertainment felt the need to interject it into everything and the mods around here loosened up significantly on that type of thing.

Politics and religion used to be a big no no around here and it was pretty much quarantined exclusively to PT. Now? No one who can do anything about it really gives a frick.

It has really set the whole site back. Esp the o-t and the msb. It’s great to have a voice on topics without all the PT….
