Is Nikola Jokic leading the way-too-early MVP race?
Nearly one month into the strangely-developing (and perhaps soon halting?) 2020-21 NBA season, and the Denver Nuggets’ center Nikola Jokic might be the frontrunner in the MVP race. Almost four weeks into this COVID-19 influenced season, the Denver Nuggets, like quite a lot of preseason would-be juggernauts, are struggling at 6-6 (outside the top 8 […]

The NBA MVP Question: James Harden or LeBron James?
Forget about the recent Anthony Davis hype. The 2017-2018 NBA regular season MVP award is coming down to one of the following: James Harden or LeBron James. If he wins, it would be a first for Harden. James has already won 4, and you wouldn’t be wrong if you voted for him to win it […]

NBA MVPs Don’t Get Knocked Out in the First Round (Unless You’re Dirk Nowitzki and Probably Russell Westbrook)
In the era of 7-game first round series in the NBA, only one eventual regular season winner has been knocked out along with his team without winning a single playoff series that season. Pretty soon, we’re probably going to have two of them.

Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Kevin Durant or LeBron James: Who Will Win the MVP?
The main candidates to win the MVP next season: Obviously Stephen Curry, with two in a row behind him. Kevin Durant, who’ll now be a teammate to Curry on the Golden State Warriors. Surely James Harden, who has a solo show going on with the Houston Rockets. And as usual LeBron James is also in the mix, but it’ll probably another season of him taking it a bit easy at time during the regular season. And of course, it’s impossible to forget about Russell Westbrook, without anyone “stealing” his spotlight and possessions, ready to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder on an angry F U tour, directed at a certain player and team.

NBA MVP – Stephen Curry or James Harden? Don’t Forget About LeBron James
The favorites to win the NBA MVP in 2015 are probably Stephen Curry and James Harden, but Marc Gasol should be looked at very carefully even if his numbers aren’t as impressive, and anyone sleeping on LeBron James should think again because it seems that he’s just starting showing us what he’s still capable of.

NBA MVP Winners Without a Championship
With another unsuccessful bid to reach the NBA finals, Kevin Durant joins the elite club of players that have a regular season MVP but haven’t won an NBA championship. Charles Barkley, Karl Malone and Allen Iverson are already retired, while Steve Nash doesn’t look like someone who’ll win it before he leaves. Derrick Rose? He’ll be happy with getting back on the court, let alone contending for the title.
