NBA hating on the white man. Damn near averaged a triple double as a center for the first seed in the west with no superstar teammate.

They thought it was cute to give it to him until they realized he was really the best player in a black man’s sport. They had to stop it after 2 in a row.

Look no further than Marc Jackson’s MVP ballot for proof of the institutional racism plaguing the NBA. He left Jokic off because he’s white. Everyone knows that.

It's MVP fatigue. It happens. Not saying it's right.

Maybe a little but you know it’s deep down because he’s white. Embid is gonna get bounced in the second round. His season was unremarkable, just because he’s the top scorer doesn’t mean he’s MVP.

MVP fatigue is real for everyone except Jordan

People can hate on Lebron all they want, but he should have more MVPs than he does. Voters got tired.

Would be about right, the year he dosent win MVP or 1st team all NBA is the year he wins a championship.

Yup, they did it to that other white guy Lebron as well.

That probably had more to do with lebron joining a Miami super team vs “mvp fatigue”

Jokic is the NBA's version of Eminem.

If you are a stat fanatic, Jokic is your MVP.

If you base it off of importance to team, Jokic is your MVP as well.

If you base it off of skill or they eye test, Jokic is your MVP to.

Jokic has 2 MVPs. Id rather him get a ring this year. Also Embiid did dominate (47 pts 18 rebounds 5ast) Jokic (24 pts 8 rebounds 9ast) when I watched them play each other this year so im fine with him getting 1 mvp out of the 3 between them.

32.5/12.7/10.1 line in the playoffs is absurd

There was always a limit to how much respect Jokic was going to get while the Nuggets simultaneously didn’t go deep in the playoffs.

Hopefully that changes this year. Statistically Jokic is in whatever tier sits below the Wilt only tier. If you can’t win rings people stop paying attention though

Lebron didn’t get his third in a row because he did the retarded PR decision to have a big production to leave Cleveland and join Miami with wade and bosh. Y’all are leaving a very important piece of the story out.

Doesn't have to be one or the other.

If LeBoo can't unseat Bill Russell then it sure as hell won't be some white dude.

If a black center averaged what Jokic is doing, they’d be discussing him being the GOAT center ever, but Jokic is white, so he doesn’t get the credit. NBA is like a mountain; mostly black but white at the top.
