This season's NBA regular season MVP competition is basically over. Nuggets star Jokic's consecutive victory can be said to be a foregone conclusion. The regular season MVP has a total of 100 media people with voting rights, and one vote is from fans, and 41 people have announced their votes so far. Jokic received 28 first-place votes, giving him a very big lead. Neither Alphabet Brother nor Embiid received more than double-digit votes, and the data, as well as the current votes, signal that Jokic is on the verge of winning back-and-forth. After Curry and Alphabet Brother, the NBA gave birth to a player who won the MVP for two consecutive seasons.
Personal data is impeccable
Jokic has absolutely no doubt about getting MVP this season, because his stats are just too scary. Jokic has averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game this season. The shooting percentage is also as high as 58.3%, and the four figures of scoring rebounds and assists shooting rate all rank in the top 10 of the NBA. In addition, Jokic is also the first player in the NBA to achieve 2000+1000+500 in a single season since its establishment, and a number of high-level statistics rank at the forefront of the NBA. For example, the true shooting rate ranks nineteenth in the league, the rebounding rate ranks third in the league, and the offensive efficiency and assist rate are in the top ten in the league. The game contribution ranks first in the league, and both double-doubles and triple-doubles Jokic are no. 1 in the NBA.
Competition for the regular season MVP remains fierce this season, with both offensive and defensive, and Embid playing an excellent offensive performance. A lot of people think Embiid is eligible to be named regular season MVP, but we have to consider Jokic's team background. When a team of two and three bosses collapse due to injury, what kind of performance can the core with a group of role players achieve?
The absence of the two cores led the team to excellent results
Jokic has brought the team to sixth place in the West, and the Nuggets' winning percentage this season is not low. Together, they had a 48-34 record of nearly 60 percent wins, compared to 76 and the Bucks' 62.2 percent win rate, not much higher than the Nuggets. Brother Alphabet and Embiid have excellent helpers around them. Holliday and Middleton are well known. They can often cut down high scores to provide offensive firepower. The 76ers traded to Harden in the middle of the season, and the pressure on Embiid was reduced a lot. Alphabet Brother and Embiid have players who average 20 points per game, and the Nuggets' no. 2 scorer this season is Gordon, who averages only 15 points per game. For the most part, Jokic faces the opposing side's defensive intensity.
Action is the most convincing manifestation, and these media people see it in their eyes. What level of stars are Embiid and Alphabet Brother they can't possibly not know, why would they vote for Jokic? Because Jokic's performance was too convincing, he beat multiple teams with an ordinary lineup to play sixth in the West. Jokic himself not only maintains excellent statistics, but also has a very high offensive efficiency, Jokic has averaged 58.5% of the 27 points per game this season, Jokic is not a pie-eating center, a lot of his offense comes from singles. Even so, he can maintain such high efficiency.
We must admit: Jokic played a fantastic season, and this all-round and dominant performance is extremely rare in NBA history. Jokic definitely deserves the regular season MVP, and his peak is just beginning. Dear readers, do you think Jokic can be elected regular season MVP this season?
