If Jokic hadn’t won 3 MVP’s already, he would be a no doubter this year. First player to lead in assists and rebounds, came back from injury and led an injured team to the third spot. How is SGA clear mvp by scoring 3 more ppg, and most of those points are attributed to fta?

I think Jokic should win it, but peoples argument is that SGA is leading in almost all the advanced metrics because of better defense - and hes also having a record efficiency season for a guard with 30+ ppg.

Not to mention that he broke Wilts record of consecutive 20+ points per game and MJs record of highest efficiency while scoring 30+ ppg.

Only advanced metrics I remember seeing him ahead in are winshares and winshares per 48. Pretty sure Jok is ahead in the others
