MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[SleepingHero]

I'm not that terribly interested in the MVP narrative and the concept you can't win so many in a row because only the greats do that.  The bottom line is that he has been the best player in the NBA over the last 4 years and its not close.  I am really surprised to see multiple folks around here discounting his impact (or considering him ineligible altogether) because he is a center.

I suppose I just give more weight to the history of the league and how MVPs usually were doled out. Jokic individually hasn't been better than Bird/Magic/Jordan/Kareem when they were in the league in their primes (although he's been close!) and they weren't able to win *fill in the blank* amount of MVP's in a row at the time because the league rewarded a new guy every so often because more than one guy in the league usually has an MVP type season every year.

I don't see why the media is all of a sudden is going away from this precedent as soon as Luka has an MVP worthy season because they feel bad about following said precedent last year when they didn't want to give Jokic his 3rd MVP in a row. 

It's just consistency is all I ask. In all of my posts I've said Jokic is a worthy MVP and I don't care if he won it. He had a fantastic season. But Luka also had a historic season and I truthfully thinks he should be getting the award this year based on history.
