There is no way someone like Shams doesn’t tweet something without the exact wording approved by his source. It’s literally his livelihood to parrot what he’s told. This isn’t some award winning investigative journalist, he exists to further someone’s agenda

I bet in 10 years the people who weren't around for all the ~discourse~ will probably be puzzled why Jokic didn't win

Embiid's season was good enough where people might say Joker should have won but not that it was some grave miscarriage of justice.

I just think without the context of the season/narrative stuff it will seem more likely that Jokic was deserving.

Unless the next few years play out and Embiid dominates, of course.

So a while back I made a spreadsheet to track every MVP in the 3pt Era and see what was most predictive of the MVP, tracking PER, WS, WS/48, BPM, and VORP. I had other stuff there but it was less predictive. There's also team rank (as in, overall team record rank).

As you can expect, team rank's become less important over the years - Nash was the first guy since Michael in 88 who wasn't on a top 2 team. Meanwhile the leader in PER and WS/48 has won almost all of the MVPs since Kobe's.

If you average their ranks in advanced stats, Rose is one of the "worst" MVPs, along with the Nash MVPs, AI, and Kobe's.

Wjat if harden just plays like old harden for 3 games in a row? I think the celtics could win 2 if they force worse performances from phi role players. Celtics were really out of it for some raisin.

This is definitely part of the context that'll be missed. Lots of people seemingly changed their votes week by week based on whatever performance just happened.

Nah I mean… this has to be the same thing that led to the Rose MVP. One part narrative, one part voter exhaustion. Doesn’t feel as egregious

Is it not true MVP behavior to lead an intentional relax-period (w #1 seed secured) so your injury-free team has the energy win it all?

I think sentiment has the potential to swing in the "it was egregious" direction if the Nuggets win the championship.
