Kiz vs. Singer: Will voters allow Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic to win back-to-back MVP awards?

Kiz: With all due respect to Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo, the best basketball player on the planet is the Nuggets’ own Nikola Jokic, at least until Kevin Durant’s injured knee heals sufficiently to allow his return to the court. So my question is not if Joker deserves to win the MVP, but if your fickle and self-important media colleagues will open their minds to the possibility that he should win the award for a second straight season?

Singer: Fickle and self-important? Not only will that be the name of my fantasy football team next season, but us voters have a group e-mail where we have declared ourselves important!
