The NBA MVP race this season has come down to the wire, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic emerging as the top candidates. Gilgeous-Alexander leads the league in scoring at 32.7 points per game, while Jokic is creating a historic season with impressive stats across points, rebounds, and assists. The competition reveals the depth of talent in the league and raises discussions about the criteria for MVP selections. Michael Malone's remarks about Jokic's capabilities also underscore the debate around player evaluation. Ultimately, the decision is tough and showcases the caliber of both players this season.
Ironically, while going back-and-forth between Gilgeous-Alexander and Jokic over the past several weeks, this quote from since-fired Nuggets coach Michael Malone has been weighing on my mind."If you didn't know Nikola had won three MVPs, and I put Player A and Player B on paper ... he wins 10 times out of 10," Malone said last month. "And if you don't think so, you guys are full of s---."
