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.
That was my bad for responding to your post rather than simply posting a comment. I don't have a hat in the ring regarding MVP, I just think that Killer's post that you were responding to was less about advocating for 4 MVPs in a row, and more incredulity that folks are discounting Jokic because he is a center.
