Well...... what has surprised and sort of depressed me has been the hate directed at Jokic by pundits...everyone from Cedric the Entertainer to Jason Hart et al-. And just average fans seem to hate the idea of european and white players being 1 & 2 in the league. As for MVP, which i think is stupid since its not defined what this even means, Id say Jokic is actually pretty far out front. Luka is second and closing. But my god, why the reluctance to call Jokic an all time great. If LBJ had numbers like Jokic there would be far more written about him. Luka gets shorted too. even Giannis is shorted. Shai gets a lot more ink (probably many dont know he's not american either). But canada is *sorta* america. European players dominate right now. And jokic is an all time top ten player in the NBA. And id be happy to call Luka that, too. Giannis is top twenty. Shai is.....close to top 20. He will get there.

no agreed. I dont have that many current guys on my top ten. I just think Jokic is remarkable. We shall see.
