On February 4, Beijing time, the NBA officially updated the latest issue of the MVP list, and Philadelphia's mid-center Embiid pressed Jokic and Alphabet Brother to the top of the MVP list.
Embiid has averaged 29.1 points, 10.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists this season, and under his leadership, Philadelphia is now in third place in the East with a record of 31 wins and 20 losses, and in the absence of Simmons, he can lead the team to a better team record than Jokic and Alphabet Brother, which is a huge plus.
In addition, considering that in the past 3 years, Alphabet Brother has won 2 MVPs, and Jokic is also the MVP of last season, from the perspective of aesthetic fatigue, Embiid does have more opportunities than both.
Jokic and Alphabet Brother ranked 2nd and 3rd respectively on the MVP list. Jokic's advantage is that he lacks Murray and Porter Jr., but the disadvantage is that the team's record and the MVP he won last season are prone to aesthetic fatigue. The problem with the alphabet brother is that the Bucks' current record is not as good as Philadelphia, if after the All-Star Game, the alphabet brother can make the Bucks' record soar, then perhaps there will be suspense in the MVP dispute.
Paul ranked 4th in the MVP list, and in the case of the Suns ranking first in the league, Paul still only ranked 4th in the MVP list, and the All-Star starter did not have a chance, which is basically doomed, he has little hope of competing for MVP. Of course, Paul should not care about this, and now he should only care about whether he can win the championship.
Curry rose from 6th to 5th place last week, although the Warriors have been winning consecutively, but before Curry was in poor overall condition in January, even if there has been a recent recovery, but it is difficult to continue to fight for MVP.
The 6th-10th places on the MVP chart are DeRozan, Morant, Booker, Doncic and Downs. The remaining 5 players (in no particular order) are Butler, Durant, Garland, James and Trae Young.
