All of Your NBA MVP Takes Are Wrong

The beauty of our annual fretting and frothing over MVP is that it’s an award with no specific definition, allowing for a broad and wondrous spectrum of perspectives, philosophies and choices, each of them valid in their own right.

Nevertheless, I am sorry to inform you that all of your MVP takes are wrong.

I don’t mean your actual choice is wrong. If you’re a Nikola Jokiu0107 advocate, great. His resume is robust. Joel Embiid? Eminently worthy. Giannis Antetokounmpo? Freakishly qualified.

It’s not the names that are problematic—it’s the arguments.
