Just yesterday, the news said that Nuggets star Nikola Jokic was elected this season's NBA regular season MVP.
It is worth mentioning that this is also the second consecutive season that "About Teacher" has won the NBA's highest personal honor.
But compared to last season's well-deserved recognition, this season's award of MVP to Jokic has attracted a lot of controversy.
The opposition side believes that Jokic has led the team to only achieve sixth place in the West this season, compared to last year's third place in the West.
And his competitor, the 76ers star "The Great" Joel Embiid, not only did not lose to Jokic in stats, but also led the team to a better record, and many people think embiid is the best candidate.
The supporters believe that this season's Nuggets' second-in-command Jamal Murray and third-in-chief Kevin Porter Jr. are both sidelined due to injury, and Jokic's ability to lead the remnants alone to achieve this result is enough to explain the problem.
In addition, Jokic has been the first in the team in terms of scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, blocks and shooting percentage this season, which can be said to be an absolute carry.
So it makes sense that the MVP, as the highest personal honor, is awarded to Jokic, who has taken his personal heroism to the extreme this season.
In fact, what I want to say is that Jokic, as an epoch-making center, showed everyone that a center forward can also control the ball, pass seconds, and shoot long.
While I have the same respect for Embiid, Jokic is indeed the better one on a personal level, as evidenced by this two-game MVP.
What are your thoughts on the selection of this MVP?
