Last year there was a close MVP race between him Jokic and Giannis. One advantage Jokic has is that he remains consistent while Joel went down and got injured and so he didn't win the Award. But if he continues his performance like this and not be injured, I think he has a high chance to win this year no doubt.
He has a good supporting cast as well, lead by Harden and the Melton and Milton and Tobias Harris.
Gonna be a good Eastern showdown as who will be the team to beat with the Bucks (although they lost) and the Celtics as well.
Interesting thing Jokic is that people got used to him, I mean sure he can score decently, and he rebounds a bit like a centre should, but he passes so well and the games go through him, that was a new thing, a brand new type of "point centre" basically, he was the best, not the first of course, like Pau Gasol for example was one of the best passing big men we have seen, but at MVP level?
Jokic was the first ever. That is why I believe that he got some good votes, but people are used to him so they are not going to really vote for him too much this year. People are wanting to see something new, and if Doncic could get his team into at least 6th seed, I feel like he would get it for sure.
Yeah jokic transcends his position. There is no one with both the vision of a top notch point guard and the ability to play like one in a centers body. If you watch him play he rarely makes a mistake. Not to say he doesn't turn it over but the decision is the right one whether or not he executes it correctly. Dude could win mvp every year and justifiably so.
