The NBA official website released the latest issue of the MVP list, and the top 5 players are Jokic, Embiid, Alphabet Brother, Paul and Curry. Compared with the previous ranking, Jokic surpassed Embiid and returned to the top of the list, and the two took turns to sit on the table. It is worth mentioning that in the past month, the top three players have not changed, which also means that this season's MVP will be produced among Jokic, Embiid and Alphabet Brother. The players in 6th to 10th place are Morant (Doncic tied), Booker, DeRozan and Butler. Although Morant, Doncic and Booker are all new stars in the league and have successfully been selected as All-Stars, there is still a gap in popularity and strength, and there is a high probability that they will become a companion. DeRozan and Butler also have a hard time getting MVP, and they always feel like something is missing. In addition, Harden and James and Durant also lost the top 10 MVP list.
The All-Star selection session has been successfully concluded, and I believe that most fans have a lot of puzzlements about James' choice of rookie Garland, although James also made a reasonable explanation. On the one hand, this All-Star Game is played in Cleveland, on the other hand, James's hometown is also Cleveland, and he will make some trade-offs. Of course, the more important reason is that Garland's performance is enough to make James believe in his strength. Garland has played 44 games this season, averaging 20.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.23 steals in 34 minutes per game, and the data is very comprehensive, and it is undeniable that he has become an indispensable core force in the Cavaliers' backcourt. It is worth mentioning that in the last game against the Spurs, Garland started 30 minutes, 12 of 15 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 27 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, which made him the second youngest player in the history of the Cavaliers to get 25 +5 +5 with 80% shooting rate in a single game, which is an achievement that James has not achieved, and I have to admit that old Zhan's vision is really accurate.
The third news came from the Nets, although harden was traded, but the management seemed very helpless. General manager Max said that we paid a lot of chips to get Harden, and now trading him is a difficult choice, deep down no one wants to do this, but it is really time for the two sides to start over. There is a saying that if the Nets do not trade Harden, it is difficult to find someone to carry the pot, the big three's luxury lineup only ranks ninth in the East, let alone win the championship, and even continue to work hard to enter the playoffs. It is worth mentioning that a season and a half have passed, and the Big Three have only played 16 games, which is enough to show that they are incompatible. Fans say why not let Irving carry the pot? Ask a player who doesn't even dare to fight vaccines, which team dares to ask for it? It's not that the Nets don't want to trade him, it's that no one wants it at all. Durant is the absolute core, then only Harden is left.
