00:00They want another component of yesterday's game was the MVP race.

00:05It does seem as though Shea Gildress Alexander in pole position,

00:09but after NBA history on Friday night, a 30-20-20 game for the

00:14first time ever around the Association by Nikoli Jokic, that margin

00:18got a little bit tighter, but then SGA went out there, poured in

00:2240 for a third consecutive game, and is now back to a minus 600

00:26favorite to win that NBA MVP hardware.

00:30Is it over, JY?

00:32Do we still have a little bit left?

00:33Outstanding.

00:34What do you make of the MVP race right now in the NBA?

00:38To quote the great Chuck D of Public Enemy, shut him down.

00:43Donnie likes that little 90s hip-hop reference.

00:50Here's the crazy thing.

00:52If you take out just the 3-point shooting yesterday, SGA was 13

00:59for 21 from 2.

01:03Could you imagine if he didn't shoot 2 of 11 from 3?

01:06He would have had a 50-piece.

01:08So that's even the crazy thing is, he played great, but he

01:12could have played better.

01:13Listen, at the end of the day, great run.

01:15The triple-double, and then they get the triple-double again in

01:18a way by the Joker Friday.

01:20That was fantastic.

01:22But when you have this guy doing and this team with an 11-game

01:24lead, shut it down.

01:26SGA is the MVP.
