Nikola Jokic, from being drafted during a Taco Bell commercial, to being a 2x NBA MVP in the last 2 years and a top 5 player in the NBA. But as we know from past greats in this current age like a Lebron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, whoever you want to name, once you make it to the top everything about you will be micro analyzed to make you seem more overrated then people make you out to be. And that can be the most true this year with Nikola Jokic threatening to become the first player to ever achieve a 3 peat MVP since Larry Bird in the 80s. But in the case of Nikola Jokic his case for a 3rd straight MVP is as strong as it can be, 50 win season and on top of the West and near triple double averages and efficiency only rivaled by Wilt Chamberlain. For the majority of the season he was clear ahead the leading MVP candidate, however, for the last few months of the season the NBA media has seemed the change the narrative over and over again to support someone else winning the MVP, and it has been done in the weirdest ways possible. Not to the point of Slander, but just very very weird instances of reaching for the sake of discrediting greatness. So in today’s video, what I want to do is go over every major instance of the NBA media’s witch hunt to take away Nikola Jokic’s 3rd straight MVP by season's end and how they propped up Joel Embiid's case in the process.
