Nikola Jokic’s MVP candidacy has got a lot of people around the NBA talking.
On the one hand, this is obviously one of the very best players in the NBA. Jokic may be the best passing big man ever. It’s hard to overstate how brilliant his playmaking really is.
On the other hand, Jokic has limitations. All of them are on defense. If the league hands this man the Most Valuable Player award for the third consecutive season, what does that say about the value of defense?
Moreover, if Jokic wins MVP again, and the Nuggets fail to make a deep playoff run, the optics will be bad.
On the other hand, it will also likely lead to some significant moves from this team’s front office.
Could they make a move to acquire OG Anunoby of the Toronto Raptors?
