On December 16, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. As of today, the new NBA regular season has been running for nearly two months. In the current East-West rankings, the Nets and Warriors are ranked first in their respective divisions, and the stars durant and Curry of the two teams are very good.
Recently, the famous media ESPN conducted a mock vote on the MVP this season, of which Curry ranked 1st with 978 points, Durant ranked 2nd with 610 points, followed by Alphabet Brother 471 points, Jokic 256 points, and Paul 160 points. In the official MVP list, Curry and Durant have also been occupying the top two positions. For now, the two are very promising to compete for this season's MVP.
