With the NBA regular season coming to an end for some time, everyone is also very much looking forward to the final selection of each individual award, and the annual regular season MVP candidate is undoubtedly the most concerned by fans, last season after successfully defeating Embiid to win the first MVP award of his career, the Nuggets core Jokic still maintains a strong momentum this season, and it is likely to win this award.
The MVP first vote is absolutely dominant, and Jokic has completely crushed Embiid and Alphabet Brother
At present, 48 media people have announced the results of the first vote, of which Jokic has obtained 34 first votes, while Embiid has only 9 votes, the Bucks' alphabet brother is even more pitiful, only 5 votes are recorded, and on the second ballot, Jokic has only 6 votes, while Embiid and Alphabet Brother are 13 votes, in the third vote, the gap between Jokic and these two is even more disparity, Jokic has only 1 vote, and Embiid is 15 votes, alphabet brother is 13 votes, and only the alphabet brother in the fourth vote gets one vote, Jokic In the fifth vote, the three MVP favourites did not have any votes, and in the end, Jokic had an advantage of 71% of the first vote, and was absolutely ahead of Embiid's 256 points and Alphabet Brother's 209 points in terms of total score of 387.
Perhaps you may have some doubts about this first vote, the second vote, simply put, if the player gets a first vote, he will get 10 points, the second vote is 7 points, the third vote will get 5 points, the fourth vote is 3 points, and the fifth vote is only 1 point, so if the player has more votes in the first vote, then he will have a more advantage in the total score, and the probability of winning the MVP will be very large. Jokic has an absolute advantage of 34 in the first vote, even more than Embiid and Alphabet Brother combined (the two have only 14 first votes combined), and it is likely that they will win this award.
Single-core team to help the Nuggets high in the West, averaging quasi-triple-doubles + league first game contribution value per game, Jokic is too stable
After successfully beating Embiid last season, Jokic still maintains a lot of competitiveness in terms of personal data and team record this season, personal data, he can average 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game this season, and the game contribution value has reached the first in the league 23, of which scoring and rebounding data have set career highs, and considering that the Nuggets have been led by him for most of this season (Porter Jr. only played 9 games to be reimbursed for the season, Murray did not play a game), In the end, with 48 wins and 34 losses, the sixth record of the West directly into the playoffs, enough to see how much Jokic's influence is.
What about the league's top scorer, Embiid is likely to be second in the second place, and Jokic is the MVP
On the other hand, Embiid, who unfortunately ranked second last season, is estimated to be unable to escape the embarrassing position of "second oldest" this season. Embiid can average 30.6 points, 11.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season, one of which not only set a career high, but also became the scoring king of the season, and the 76ers, under his and Harden leadership, also ranked fourth in the East with a record of 51 wins and 31 losses, but Jokic's performance was too stable, and Embiid's downturn from time to time also affected his competition for MVP awards to some extent. It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for the extremely stable Jokic, Embiid's excellent performance in the past two seasons, he would have been more likely to be the MVP.
