Our nightmare has finally come true. Nikola Jokic won the NBA MVP again. For a little bit there, mixed with unsubstantiated reports from The Cuz and some dude with 3k followers, I thought maybe the NBA got their shit together. Nope. At least Jokic won’t have to clear his schedule.

STOP THE STEAL! –

Imagine the partying in the town square of Belgrade once they discover internet. Right now the fastest guy in the country named Bogdan is running to meet a diplomat in Hungary for an ‘important package.’ The Serbs will have their news in approximately three weeks.

Do they release the NBA MVP votes like they do in baseball? Would be a real shame if there was a list made of those who hate The Process. Not a threat. But there’s probably going to be a list that looks something like this in Joel Embiid’s locker the rest of the playoffs:

Look I don’t think Jokic is undeserving or anything, but David Stern is rolling over in his grave right now. If he was still running the show he would’ve never let the MVP narrative around Joel Embiid switch its course like it did in March. He’d be wiring money to ESPN and Stephen A to spend an hour of the show on Joel Embiid’s dominance. Say what you want about the guy, but that dude knew what was best for the league and all he’d see in an MVP from Africa is dollar signs.


P.S. Jokic isn’t attracting these types of double teams before he even gets the ball:
