00:00MVP odds as well early for next year in DRS we will see two very familiar names at the top
00:07Nikola Jokic who has won three MVP awards now in the last five seasons and Shea Gilgis-Alexander
00:13are reigning NBA MVP. Jokic a slightly better number plus 220 40 cents in front of SGA. Let's
00:22start right here right now is it already a two-player race for the MVP hardware next season?
00:28No I think it's a three-player race I don't think anybody else can need to get into that race you
00:32take a look at Nikola Jokic, Shea Gilgis-Alexander but I do throw Luka Doncic in there because he's
00:37now in Los Angeles the pedestal goes higher the primetime games go higher the elevation of playing
00:42with LeBron James and being on social media every single day go higher and also understand the
00:46motivation where you don't want to say like you're sitting there in Dallas right it's like hey I'm not
00:50in a big market he was in a big market comfortable in that environment and then goes out to LA and
00:55you need to win at a high level in Los Angeles there's one thing hey Dallas you get to an NBA
00:58finals that's fantastic but in Los Angeles it's championships are bust and LeBron James understands
01:03that knowing that he would like to rack up one or two more before he gets out of town and Luka is
01:07going to be a big reason why that could possibly happen so if Luka comes back focused and in shape
01:12like you know what I'm in Los Angeles I can't hide now I can't even go through my normal off-season
01:16routine which he's a great basketball player doing that anyway I think he has the extra motivation
01:21coming in and the extra limelight being in Los Angeles where I like that 750 price am I saying
01:26he's going to win it not necessarily but if we do look at SGA and Nikola Jokic you know they're
01:31going to battle for it but I do think Luka Doncic rightfully so will be in that equation let me just
01:35add this too it's like well Donnie why don't you just throw in Giannis I just think sometimes like
01:39the the fatigue like catches Jokic but Jokic's numbers are so outstanding with a team that we expect
01:44to be really good next year again we look at Giannis Antetokounmpo like what does he have to do
01:4938 20 and 10 every single night to get noticed in Milwaukee he's a great player and deserves to
01:54be in the MVP race I just don't think he can win it because the expectations are ah 24 12 and 8 yeah
02:01he's just not doing like wait that's an unbelievable night but we expect so much more to Giannis and a
02:06team that I don't think is going to fulfill high expectations next year
