I just don’t think Booker, Paul, Mitchell, Gobert are at a high enough level to be MVP. If Jokic keeps Denver top 4, I have no problem with him winning. Really any of the top 8 contenders I’m cool with. I’d probably rule out guys like Lillard, Curry, and Doncic because of their teams though.
My list right now would be:
1. Jokic
(big gap)
2. Embiid
3. Giannis
4. Kawhi
5. Lebron
Honestly those last 4 probably won’t play enough to win. KD didn’t play enough. I won’t consider Harden principle(he looses points for the Houston part of his season)
I think I’d probably have Rudy and CP3 at 6 and 7. Then I’d start considering guys like Curry, lillard, doncic. Then I’d go to the Mitchell/Booker group.
