The MVP is a regular season award. How many times do you think in the last 20 years the MVP in the NBA has won the title? It's happened four times... My long point here is I'm not taking away from the Nuggets or Jokic... you can win an MVP, which he probably will is back-to-back MVP, and that doesn't mean that you have the best team, because that's just not what the award is.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.
