Nikola Jokic: The Current NBA MVP Favorite at -140
Transcript
00:00 Let's transition now to NBA MVP odds coach. We can go ahead and end on this.
00:09 Jokic to no one's surprise is now minus 140 to win this award.
00:14 Giannis got his coach fired. Hard to win an MVP when you get your coach fired.
00:18 The Mavericks not going to win enough games. I think if the Mavericks ended up being the four seed,
00:22 I'd probably vote for Luka. But let's just be real about it.
00:25 Nikolai Jokic is the best player in the NBA until proven otherwise. You have that guy on your team.
00:31 You win 50 games. It's really that simple.
00:34 Yeah, I mean it really is that simple. And I think the one thing you have to watch out for, Davis,
00:39 and we've seen this in the NBA, it's called voter fatigue. And we've seen this before.
00:44 When you think about this, we go through the history of the NBA.
00:47 How many MVPs could LeBron should have won? How many Kobe should have won?
00:52 How many could Shaq could have won? How many Michael Jordan could have won?
00:56 There is voter fatigue. And I think that is the only thing you have to be careful about when you deal with the NBA.
01:02 Is there voter fatigue in regards to who should win the MVP?
01:07 When you look at the odds, and obviously you get no Halliburton, no Embiid because they missed too many games.
01:13 I'm telling you, I'm still looking at two guys. I'm looking at Brunson.
01:18 If the Knicks can find a way to get the two seed, he's gone from plus 20,000 to 6,000.
01:26 I've seen it lower in other books. He's going to make a run if they continue to win.
01:30 And Kawhi Leonard at 29-1. If they get the one seed, and Kawhi is playing like Kawhi and he plays every game,
01:38 those are two guys you can look at to possibly win the MVP.
