On December 31, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the MVP ranking of the 10th issue of the season. This week's rankings have changed dramatically from last week, with Alphabet brother topping the table for the first time this season, Durant still no. 2, and Curry slipping to No. 3. Jokic dropped to 4th and Gobert made the top 5 for the first time. Here's a detailed story.
1. Alphabet Brother, Bucks (ranked 5th last week)
Season average: 27.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.6 blocks
Alphabet Brother made a quick comeback in the year-end battle after missing 5 games for the team. After his return, the Bucks continued their strong momentum to win five straight. Alphabet Brother still seems omnipotent on the field. The Bucks are currently in third place in the East, just one win away from the top nets. Alphabet Brother will lead the Bucks to challenge the top two teams as defending champions.
2. Durant, Nets (ranked 2nd last week)
Season average: 29.9 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game
After missing three games for the team, Durant finally made a comeback. He had 33 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the game against Philadelphia, and his performance was still outstanding. This is the 14th time he has scored more than 30+ points in five consecutive games, and he successfully equaled James's season record to lead the league.
3. Curry, Warriors (Ranked #1 last week)
Season average: 27.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.6 steals, 5.4 three-pointers
Curry scored 33 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in the year-end battle against the Suns, leading the team to double-kill opponents and continue to secure the team's top position in the league. Curry managed to break the spell that his year-end battle score never exceeded 20. In the game against the Nuggets, Curry successfully hit the 3,000th three-pointer of his career, ushering in another personal three-point milestone.
4. Jokic, Nuggets (ranked 3rd last week)
Season average: 25.8 points, 14 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game
In the game against the Warriors, Jokic had a comprehensive stat of 22 points, 19 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals, sending blocks at key moments to ensure the team's game victory. He has averaged 25.7 points, 20.3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2.7 steals in the last three games, the fifth player in league history to achieve such stats. Jokic still looks very valuable in the wounded and wounded nuggets.
