SGA: Nikola Jokic seems to be the favorite in the NBA MVP rankings, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander may have the best chance of winning the award.

I have a $50/800 ticket on him from the preseason odds (16/1). With my luck, he'll finish second this year.
 
In retrospect, it’s kinda crazy how much pro talent that 2018 UK team had for having had such a miserable dysfunctional season.

SGA is now darn near the best player in the friggin world. And PJ Washington, Hamidou Diallo, Kevin Knox, Vanderbilt and Richards are also all still chugging away in the League six years later. That’s a shitload of NBA talent for one college team … yet it accomplished damn near nothing.

I think about that team occasionally.Should have played Knox at the 4, PJ at the 5 to open the lane for SGA. Of course, we were still a shooter short, a guard short and Vanderbilt was hurt.

That really seemed to be the beginning of our new offensive “philosophy” under Cal. 2017 ran a great offense and that was really the last enjoyable team to watch outside of this year.

That's the team I wanted to shoot 3's at a much higher rate and Bass and friends went bezerk.
 
Not happening lol. If it’s not Jokic/Embiid/Giannis it’s either Tatum because of record or Luka because of immense stats

Knox being as bad as he is in the league surprised me. Never thought he would be a star or anything, but still. He was good in Summer league with NY, then just collapsed.

After it was stolen from him last year I think Jokic will win it again.
Yeah, they'll make up robbing him of history with a three-peat this year, maybe the next two as well.

He really showed the idiocy of the vote in the post season

Come on, everyone knew Embid was going to win last year, it was a media frenzy to make it happen. Then the Joker leads his team to the Championship while putting up ridiculous numbers to show he was the only MVP.
