Michael Scotto: MVP Nikola Jokic on how long he’ll play in the NBA: “I’m not going to take a spot from some young guy or put the franchise down. As long as I can play at the highest level and help the team win, I’m going to play until then.”

The on-off splits definitely hurt Tatum in MVP voting. Jokic, Brunson, Giannis, Luka, Shai had staggering on-off impact. #Celtics survived comfortably with Tatum off the floor this year. – 12:50 AM

My take….Shaq told Jokic on national TV he felt SGA deserved the MVP-so I do respect Shaq telling Jokic to his face…having said that- Shaq began by saying, “ I hate to rain on someone’s parade BUT….” So Shaq did rain on Jokic’s parade…the truth is both were deserving…period – 9:18 PM

Nikola Jokic had another MVP caliber season, but I believe if you factor in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lifting OKC from 10th to 1st, plus his edge as a defender, he was a worthy choice too. It was close, but I went with SGA with my vote. Luka was fantastic too. – 8:39 PM

Jokic is fabulous. But had I voted…Shai would’ve been my #1. Absolutely nobody had OKC finishing 1st in the West. Zero. And Shai’s the primary reason.
That said, again, Jokic is great. What’s more egregious is that 3 voters had Shai FOURTH & 1 had him *FIFTH*…? C’mon now! pic.twitter.com/zH8KNqPrVx – 7:54 PM
