NBA's official MVP list: Jokic topped the list for four consecutive years, and Alexander advanced to the top three and the top ten of the KD

On December 2, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the latest MVP rankings. This week's top 5 have seen a slight change in personnel and rankings. Jokic topped the rankings for the fourth week in a row, Embiid returned to No. 2, Alexander tied Doncic for a strong top-three finish, and Antetokounmpo jumped from No. 9 last week to No. 5 behind Tatum. In addition, Durant is ranked 8th, James is 10th, and Booker, Lillard and Maxey are among the nominees.

1. Jokic (Nuggets), No. 1 last week

Averages: 29 points, 13.2 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game

In the third meeting with the Rockets, Jokic hit a triple-double of 32 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists, refusing to take revenge on his opponent's season three kills. Under Jokic's leadership, the Nuggets dished out 37 assists and only made three turnovers, which is the second-highest in league history. After escaping the slump of Murray's injury, Jokic helped the Nuggets get back on track, and he remains the MVP's favorite.

2. Embiid (76ers), No. 3 last week

Averaged 32 points, 11.3 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game

Embiid scored 35 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists in the game against the Thunder and Lakers, and 30 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists respectively, helping the team win the game. He has scored 30+ in his last five games and has contributed 30+ performances 11 times this season, leading the scoring charts. When he missed the game against the Pelicans due to illness, the 76ers instantly became uncompetitive and swallowed the loss, which fully reflected the importance of Embiid to the team.

3. Doncic (Mavericks), No. 2 last week

Averaged 31.1 points, 8 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game

In addition to being a little tired against the Clippers on the road back-to-back, Doncic is still delivering top-level statistical performances every night, using his strength to break the outside world's problem that he and Irving can't coexist. In the battle with the Rockets, Doncic slashed 41 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists without any turnovers. He became the second player in history to score 40+ points and 9+ assists in the game multiple times without turnovers, which is a big reason why the Mavericks continue to be in the top four in the West.

Tied for No. 3 Alexander (Thunder), No. 4 last week

Averaged 30.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game

Alexander has proven himself to be the best defender in the league. Against the Lakers, when the team trailed by 14 points in the first quarter, he once again handed in a 30+ scoring answer, and finally helped the Thunder beat the opponent by 23 points. Alexander has scored 30+ points 12 times this season, and he leads all players in that statistic. The reason why the Thunder can continue to dominate the Western Conference is thanks to Alexander's wonderful performance.

5. Brother Alphabet (Bucks), ranked 9th last week

Averaged 29.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game

In the battle with the Trail Blazers, Brother Alphabet handed over 33 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists to help the Bucks win. He managed to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the player with the most 30+10+5 in team history. At the same time, the run-in between him and Lillard is getting better and better, and the two have scored 30+ points in three consecutive games, becoming the only combination in the league to achieve this feat this season. Let's welcome Antetokounmpo back in the MVP race.

The 6th-10th places are: Haliburton, Tatum, Durant, Edwards, James

The nominees are: Bam Adebayo, Booker, Fox, Lillard, Maxey
