Jeff Teague: Nikola Jokic winning MVP over Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is BIGGEST SNUB in NBA history 

It's always just racism

Jokic is deserving. But Shai is slightly more deserving imo. It’s very close though, I’m not upset with Jokic winning.

i thought this would be the first year nobody would complain abt who won cause each of them was deserving and had a good case. guess not

@@duffal0 nothing wrong with that take, I disagree and so do many other people, the crazy party of their take is saying it's a SNUB let allone THE BIGGEST one ever. Thats crazy talk.

Snubbed

Black people just mad and talking crazy.

Right flopper shai doesn’t deserve it

​@@shudigginsecure victim mentality....rampant now a days

@@shudiggyou can say the same for whites

🤡

-- uh, biggest snub? It's not even close. SGA is a throwback to SGs making a case (Kobe, MJ to Harden-WB-Curry). Outside of scoring, Jokic has the same record plus better stats and advanced stats: BPM and VORP. I can't believe it is a talking point.

With this logic Kobe and Lebron definitely deserve more mvps then… Carmelo also should have one

Bruh, SGA took the youngest team in the league to the 1st seed in a tough Western conference which included being ahead of the nuggets and beating them 3- 1 in the reg season. We have a rookie as our starting C, an undrafted player in Dort, a 2nd year player in J Wub and giddey who did not have a great year at SF. Most people can't even name our bench players. Jokic is an absolute beast and I take nothing away from how good he is but cmon.. Theyre defending champs. On paper he has much more help than Shai did. I feel like people voted for Jokic because they didn't do it last year when they should've. SGA was robbed

@@heisenberg3183 you’re factoring in expectations which is narrative driven. Also, JW and Chet have arguably been more consistent than anyone on the nuggets other than Joker this regular season. JW is so underrated

@@TheStylishChefCheese yes, Lebron and Kobe should have won more. Narratives shouldn’t drive the MVP vote. It should be the most valuable player. Just because people fucked up in the past doesn’t mean we should continue to fuck up.

​@@heisenberg3183how is Jokic' team better? People overrate Murray, when his career numbers aren't much different than Jalen Williams' (Williams is actually more efficient). I'd argue Williams is more valuable since he can play positions 1 through 4 (Murray isn't that versatile). As a matter of fact, Williams logged 83% of his minutes at the 4 last year. You're underrating the value Giddey gives you at the guard position alongside Shai. And Aaron Wiggins, Cason Wallace, and Isaiah Joe are great glue guys off the bench. Chet Holmgren was a solid starter, and had a great rookie season, especially coming off that foot injury. Imo, y'all have a better overall supporting cast. Only MPJ is decidedly better than Dort (and it's not even close---coz Dort is garbage, ion care how good he is defensively). Gordon is a really good player, but I highly doubt y'all are trading us Jaylen Williams for Gordon, so just stop with these BS narratives.

So is Shai…

@@duffal0Jokic in game 5 >>>> Shai in game 5. Mans dominates the DPOY multiple possessions in a row, going straight at him all 2nd half, at one point in the 4th was 12/16!!!! And the passes to Gordon exploiting Gobert roaming while SlowMo/Kat was on him was also phenomenal.

Your obviously a new RU-vid nba fan 😂😂😂 MVP is for REGULAR season so his current stats in the playoffs don’t mean anything AT ALL😂

@@calebstevens9446post season games don’t count for awards u slow kids 😂😂😂 regular season only for any awards like that

@@BasedTaurell what does that have to do with that I said? 💀 please stop @ing me

Shai was the only mvp candidate this year that was top 10 in offense n defense 🤷🏾‍♂️

Every advanced metric? Shai is top 3 in almost every meaningful advanced metric. Jokic is the better player, but Shai deserved MVP this year

@@duffal0 how? they have the same record, neither team has all stars.

nobody had okc in the top 5

@@AshtonWilliams-oo6cp so? they still have the same record

I’m saying wtf😂

Right this gotta be they worst take ever

Not really… Shai was very close, only a few votes away. They were both far ahead of Luka in voting.

@@duffal0 a few votes away? Jokic had 79 first place votes and shai had 15 first place votes. Thats not close at all.

he’s not going to fly you out

Playoff stats don’t mean shit for the mvp race u half wit

@@cutc2k764💀 nigga praying

Do you know what hate means?

1 2 3 Cancun

You acting like jokic would have got denver to first place or 2nd place without Murray and porter and Gordon shut up basketball ain't a one man sport

@@lovingschabingajr9902 Tf? How’s he acting like that? You’re literally just saying $h¡t… actually you’re just reusing what he said but changing SGA with Jokic and OKC’s starters with Denver’s starters, which makes absolutely no sense

@@Austin.Kilgorebro what. the Nuggets were 13-10 in the last 23 games of the regular season without Jamal Murray …. he raises a valid point comparing Denver and OKCs supporting cast

When seen joker without the team he has now and he still won mvp, so yes shai was a snub

​@@lovingschabingajr9902Murray missed like 30 games, Gordon was a nobody in Orlando, his peak was coming 2nd in the dunk contest, and MPJ can't even score without Jokic on the floor. Crazy ass take

Participation trophy

Jeff has True Hooper Brain, and SGA has better moves with the ball, so that's it.

There is no arguments, just straight up racism, and that's a shame, especially for a symbol of empowerment that is the NBA

They don't bruh

Yet they want mvp voting rights. They mostly picking off eye test, I mean listen to their reasons for wanting SGA over Jokic. Since when was it about avg 30....

It’s bizarre man. It’s like they all value PPG above all else, or they’re guards or wings and don’t like it when bigs or Euros win. It’s not like Teague was some scrub, he was an above average player in the league for while, so he should know as well as anyone why Jokic is the best player in the league. Shai had a great season, and is a pretty easy pick for second best this year, but Jokic put up yet another all time great season for counting stats, advanced stats, and winning. If they beat the T-Wolves which is their toughest opponent from a matchup standpoint then they likely will win the title again, but all these lazy-ass analysts and former players will STILL find a way to diminish Jokic’s accomplishments.

@@ashgodsvhe did more than just avg 30 that was just the icing on the cake

they don't watch games, and with a lot of them, these podcasts are exposing why they could never win.. so many True Hooper ass mfs that have no clue what actually WINS in the league

U white for sure but u right😂😂

Ahh nice! Lol I’m glad I saw this comment cause now I learned a way to call ppl eedyats without getting my comment ❌’d

Think ima try using ideeit though lol

@@Austin.Kilgore eedyat is the common way people say idiot in UK slang.

@@abdq4712ahh lol I though it was a way to skirt RU-vid flag system… cause they STAY deleting my comments if I say anything insulting/offensive

Who is talking color? Why even bring color of people in it? This is why there's so much racist talk in regards to Catlin Clark. It's like people just want it to be a race thing. Maybe you're just a person who looks at color when choosing a favorite. 🤷🏾‍♂

@@EzdoesitPro nah, its a fact. And Caitlin has nothing to do with this.

Perkins ​@@EzdoesitPro

facts

No he wasn't

Kobe was the 7th seed cmon fam, that was Dirk or Bron’s award. 60 wins for Dirk putting up 26.6, 3, 9. Then you got Bron in his THIRD year leading that bum Cavs team to 50 wins 2nd seed, averaging 31, 6.6, and 7

Jokić does not follow the podcasts of insignificant characters.🤮

@@brankovicbrankoni1527 Wipe yo mouth gang 😂

100% they used to deny LeBron MVP when he was in his Prime just for a fresh face. And now they hand it to Jokic so easily also Lebron or Kobe would have never won MVP as a 6 seed . Shai is young and took the youngest team ever to a 1 seed, idk how he didnt get it like D Rose did back in the day.

That number one seed thing doesn’t matter at all. The teams literally had the same record

jokic was the 2 seed and they had the same record, the whole top seed doesn't sand the way they think it does

You said tatum nah that's crazy stop the cap

@@lovingschabingajr9902 best player of the best regular season team... This is the criteria that used to be automatic the get mvp before all the analytical bull crap...

Ppl say this till nba players start saying stuff they don’t wanna hear lmao

Whether people thought the Thunder would be the 1 seed is irrelevant. Thanks Chet. The Thunder are perfectly built. The only reason Shai only has a 19 PPG scorer instead of a 20 PPG scorer like Murray is because Jokic passes the ball more than Shai lol. Jokic could average 35 PPG if he wanted and Murray wouldn't crack 18 if he did that. OKC has the best 3 pt shooting team in the league, you give Joker all those shooters and it's 65 wins guaranteed lol. Yall are delusional, Jokic had better stats and the two teams had the same record. Jokic is MVP, get over it.

@@Youngster543210 So it’s irrelevant that the thunder are the number one seed but it’s perfectly logical for you to play “what if” and say joker could average 35 if he wanted to?! But he didn’t. Denver won the championship last season and were expected to be title contenders again this year. Nobody thought OKC were legitimate contenders and absolutely no one thought they would get the number one seed. Shai should have won MVP.

He was great but you’re pretending like it wasn’t because of all the young players on the team took a huge leap. Shai was considered a top 5 player 2 months into the season before this one and his team didn’t even make the playoffs. U act like he’s lebron carrying a cast or no names in Cleveland to 66 wins. He’s great but that’s no what’s going on here

@@selfmade8884 No, it's irrelevant that people didn't THINK they would be the 1 seed. Literally doesn't matter that people didn't expect CHET HOLMGREN to improve OKC that much, but he did. Yes, Jokic didn't because he makes the correct play every time. You said that Jokic having 1 teammate average exactly 20 while J Dub "only averaged 19.5" 💀 is proof thatt Jokic supposedly had all this help that Shai didn't have. Meanwhile, the reason Shai doesn't have a teammate averaging the magical "20 ooooooo" is because he takes too many damn shots. No, sorry. You don't get MVP just because "nobody" expected your team to be tied for the 1 seed. Especially when YOU aren't the reason they improved so much any damn way. Chet is the reason they got so much better, along with the arrival of J Dub and Lu. Shai doing the same shit he did last year when they only won 41 games. Jokic would NEVER win only 41 games. Mf won 48 with 16 dudes who aren't even employed 2 year later 💀. Same record, better stats, better analytics, better value metrics. Jokic is the MVP, get over it.

@@johnnycash8567 So who has a better supporting cast? Jokic or SGA?

Nah you are wack and you always have been, since birth.

lol 😂 😅

History isn't going to be kind to you either since you a nobody loser
