00:00To the individual award race right now. That is the mvp
00:04In the nba you look at some of the numbers and you might think this guy. Nikola jokic is continuing to do it
00:12Averaging a triple double is top four in every one of those categories points scored rebounds per game
00:20assist per game around the nba
00:22But shea guilders alexander the nba's leading scorer
00:26On the nba's best team or at least co-best team at this moment a little bit of movement though
00:32As we enter all-star weekend sga was minus 650 earlier this week to win the mvp award now
00:38It's just minus 470. Nikola. Jokic looking to become the sixth player in nba history to win at least four
00:46Mvp awards is this race over? Do you think sga has wrapped it up?
00:52Or is nicole jokic truly in the running?
00:57I don't think it's over. I think it's it's likely going to be between one of these two guys though
01:01Like I think last year we were playing with the idea of okay
01:05There's jokic
01:06There's mb before he got hurt towards meniscus. There was luka dantic
01:12Uh tatum didn't really have a case for being number one
01:15But his name was being thrown around there and then it's like jaylen brunson gonna be on a ballot
01:18I think this year is just kind of gonna be between these two
01:22um, and right now
01:23I do think shea would get it because of a couple different factors one. His team is really good and they played
01:31through injury
01:32Without chet holmgren for a bunch of the year who just came back recently. Isaiah harnstein missed a lot of time
01:37You also have the element of hey, oklahoma city just looks overwhelming at least in the western conference from a regular season standpoint in the playoffs
01:45You know, we'll see if this is a regular season award and shea goes with alexander
01:49It kind of feels like it's his time where he's really ascending to that mvp level
01:54Whereas nicole jokic already has multiple mvps. I wonder if the voters are going to just be like hey
02:01You know, we'll give it to shea this year as you know on on some human element type of vote
02:07um, I I think nicole jokic obviously like he has a production he's deserving and denver would absolutely fall off a cliff if
02:16He doesn't do
02:18What he has to on a night-to-night basis, but shea gildas alexander is absolutely deserving of it
02:24I think right now he would probably almost certainly win it and if
02:29This continues and he's healthy down the stretch and oklahoma city, you know gets to 60 plus wins as we project
02:35To be the case and yeah, I think he's going to get this award
