      It's not even close guys.
      This year Jokic is:
      1st in Box +/-
      1st in offensive box +/-
      1st in defensive box +/-
      1st in Value over Replacement Player
      1st in PER
      1st in Win Shares
      1st in Win Shares/48 minutes
      1st in Offensive Win Shares
      2nd in Defensive Win shares (next to Rudy)
      Basically that's every advanced stat that matters.
      And Jokic is THE player on the best/most feared team in basketball. Without him, they collapse. How is that not MVP? Seriously man. Deserves because he doesn't have one? Since when is that a criteria? Luka is great, but "most valuable" belongs to only 1 guy, and it's Jokic.

      A lot of the guys for that dream team would be considered huge letdowns these days. Malone,Stockton, Barkley, obviously laetener. Mullins was just good, pippen was a #2 option at best, and at the time bird was still good but clearly a shell of his old self. The dream team guarding these guys 30 feet from the basket would be hilarious

      Not it's not. As @raleighstein9227 above you said:
      "okić was fifth in total points, third in total rebounds, second in total assists, and eighth in total steals. He’s the only player in NBA history to be top-10 in all four categories in a single season.
      Nikola was the only player in the NBA that was top-15 in average points (twelfth), assists (fourth), and rebounds (fourth) this season.
      Jokić led the entire league in on/off offensive efficiency with plus-18.9 points per 100 possessions.
      He was first in total plus-minus at plus-682.
      Jokić was first in VORP (Value Over Replacement Player), PER (Player Efficiency Rating), Win Shares, Offensive Win Shares, Box Plus/Minus, Offensive Box Plus/Minus, and Defensive Box Plus/Minus.
      Every single Nuggets starter had a higher effective field goal percentage with Jokić on the floor compared to him off it.
      Jokić was the only player in the league that averaged at least 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists. He's the sixth player to ever put up these numbers.
      Nikola was second in total at-rim assists and total two-point assists.
      He was first in total steals by a center.
      Jokić was fifth in total deflections in the NBA.
      He was second in the NBA in non-restricted painted area field goal percentage at 61.7 percent (minimum 100 attempts). This is typically where players take floaters and hook shots from.
      He finished second in total points in the painted area.
      Jokić was first in post-up points and assists.
      He also led the league in total points and total assists from the elbows.
      Jokić recorded the second-most double-doubles in the league with 68 and the second-most triple-doubles with 25.
      Nikola had 21 games of 25-point triple-doubles, which led the league."
      It's not even close man.

    I'm just curious when mvp favored advanced analytics over flat out production and stats. 🤷🏽‍♂️
    Outside of the celtics i don't care about anybodys record cuz if that was the deciding factor then Tatum should be in top 3. Since it don't, every team that won 50 games is on even footing. Injuries cause losses and that can't be helped so a 1 to 7 game difference doesnt change much of anything, especially in a league we're half court buzzer beaters happen. So if it isn't going to the top winner, WITH the best stats, then idk what were doing.

    It depends entirely on the rules. Hand check or no hand check? Offensive goal tending above the cylinder?
    1992 team has better defenders and more size. 2024 team has better shooters. I'd take the 92 team mainly because MJ and Pippen wreak havoc on D, Magic is too big and strong at the point, and Barkley, Malone, Robinson and Ewing would dominate Embiid, Bam, and AD in the paint.
    Plus you don't need to go 12 deep. Only 7 or 8 would get serious minutes.

He means MORE to his team than any other player, which is the definition of most valuable, and he single-handedly carries Denver to be the best team in the league.

    ‘Statistically all 3 are great’ is such an oversimplification. By raw stats luka is markedly better, and by advanced stats jokic is significantly better. Their baselines are all great true but the differences matter in such a tight race. SGA should be unanimous 3rd as he has unquestionably the worst individual stat (when you considerbbox score and advanced stats collectively) and does not have the best team record (tied with denver) and he’s overcome the least amount of team injury.

      2 jokic on off numbers don’t impress me because the reason is less to do with him and more to do with the fact that Denver doesn’t have a backup center. Yes they have 37 year old deandre Jordan who played 36 games but you don’t get to credit a bad backup to jokic being that good. If any other team has no backup they’ll have great on off numbers too.
