There are only 7-8 games left in the NBA regular season, the Western Conference pattern is basically determined, and only the teams in the second half of the playoffs still have suspense. The pattern in the East is still very chaotic, the 76ers lost 1 game yesterday and even fell 4 places, and the Nets were also squeezed to 9th, so I believe that until the last game, they can not completely divide the high and low.
The MVP list is also, arguably the most competitive year for MVP since the 21st century, and so far, it is not clear which player has a greater chance of winning the award. Completely white-hot! The latest MVP list of the US media: Old Zhan 10, Booker 6, the top three are international players
10 James, 30 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks
Who would have thought that the 37-year-old James could still play the league's top performance, currently leading the scoring list, and is also very all-round in data. Unfortunately, the Lakers' record has dragged James back, otherwise the 37-year-old oldest MVP will have a high bonus to historical status.
9, Towns, 24.6 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1 steal, 1.1 blocks
It was Downs' worst season in recent years, but it was also his happiest. Timberwolves have sunk for many years, and finally formed the core lineup of Towns + Edwards + Russell, super talented and young, this season is very promising to play the playoffs, the future will also be a force to be reckoned with.
8, DeRozan, 27.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5 assists, 0.9 steals
Miraculously for most of the season, but at the most critical moment dropped the chain, the Bulls once had the suspense of falling to the playoffs, DeRozan may now have a relationship with the MVP, and even a burst was lost by himself.
7. Doncic, 27.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks
Doncic is more and more likely to be the future façade of the NBA, and now he and the Lone Ranger have slowly mastered a more reasonable way to win, after the big deal, Dinwiddie and others gave Doncic a lot of help, which makes his magical performance is no longer in vain, the future to add 1 superstar to the lineup, the Lone Ranger can immediately become a championship team.
6. Booker, 26.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.4 blocks
Why is the Suns' record so obvious, but Booker is basically hopeless MVP? One reason is Paul, who is the leader of the team's first 60 games, and the second reason is that Booker's stats are really not brilliant.
5. Tatum, 27 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks
After entering February, the Celtics were very strong, with a record of 25 wins and 6 losses, the first place in the league in the same period, and they also jumped against the Bucks Heat and other strong teams to the first place in the East. Tatum has won consecutive weekly bests, and his personal data continues to improve, but there are still some disadvantages.
4, Morant, 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.4 blocks
Morant's data is already very top-notch, but compared to the top three, there is still a disadvantage, the Grizzlies record is the second in the league, but embarrassingly, Morant's record is better when he is absent, even higher than the 73-win Warriors, so the Grizzlies are strong because of the overall strength. Of course, Morant will decide the team's ceiling in the playoffs.
3, alphabet brother, 29.7 points, 11.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1 steal, 1.4 blocks
Starting with the alphabet brother, the data will be so strong that you think that the players in front of you are not playing in the same era. Compared with his 2 MVP seasons, he is still constantly improving himself, especially in terms of shooting, this season's three-point shooting rate is more than 30%, free throws are more than 70%, although it is still not elite, but no one dares to put the alphabet brother shooting anymore.
2, Jokic, 26.3 points, 13.5 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks
10th in the league in scoring, 2nd in rebounds, 8th in assists, 16th in steals and 29th in blocks, he is arguably the most versatile player of the season. Although Jokic has a high assist, he is still different from the assists of those who hold the big core of the ball, not sticking to the ball, often passing the ball immediately after passing, and the efficiency is very high depends on the overall situation.
1. Embiid, 29.8 points, 11.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.5 blocks
The top three are all international players, is the NBA homegrown player in decline? Embiid's advantage is that he was second in the MVP last season but only selected for the second team and did not win the MVP. Embiid has led the team for a long time this season, so his ability to lead the team has also been recognized.
