  • Rachel Nichols, Brian Windhorst and Kendrick Perkins react to a report from ESPN's Tim Bontemps, in which a poll of NBA MVP voters shows Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is the favorite to repeat as the winner of the award ahead of Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and Houston Rockets guard James Harden. They then (3:21) discuss the Bucks' reaction to Giannis being stepped over by Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin.

    Giannis and Luka gonna be the faces of the league in 2 years when lebron retires or turns old. They are absolute beasts. Curry, KD, Harden are all getting old when Lebron reliquishes his crown. Also, NBA wants to push these 2 as faces due to international appeal and great for marketing NBA as a true global sports league. It's good for business.

      Lebron is not the best in the league for the past 4 years and people still talk like he is the guy.And even before he needed at least 2 all stars next to him ever since Cleveland 1 time around.And the guy still just got 3 rings and would win 1 if his team mates would not bail him out in last min.

      And who does Luka have? is the more talent then on the Bucks we all know it is not.We know Bucks will be top 3 or even 1 since Kawhi is not there in the East anymore.Who was thinking Dallas would be 3 in the west 1/3 season in?! i as Luka fan belived they can be top 4-5 at best many so called "basketball minds" didnt think dallas would make the playoffs or will fight for Spurs and Kings for 8 spot.I dont see Dallas just stop playing like they do,If this goes on and they will jsut get better then will end up top 3-4 in the west and that is more impresive then Bucks or LA going 1.

      S Wavey good points but no. LeBron had the Lakers in 4th before the groin injury with no real chemistry and the very game he got hurt we saw that teams potential as they beat GS
      The Lakers were 4th in the West with Kuzma, Rondo, Ingram, Ball and even Josh Hart missing games while some also being suspended and injured (Rondo, Ingram)
      AD is def making a diff but AD is the difference between for example being a top 3 team in the West and being the top team as Well as LeBron being rested. BTW I m not sure what his rating is in the league but LeBron was 5th in defensive rating last time they mentioned his defense and I think he currently has a better rating than AD
      With regards to Giannis losing and being young, cool but you lost because you were the one who was slowed down. You won the first 2 games and then lost 4 in a row. What that proves to me is when you were playing your A game your team won and when Kawhi got on you you lost.
      LeBrons team had no chance of beating the Spurs in 2007. There is a difference
      Giannis is incredible but he is 25 (today). The league is giving guys MVPs before they reach their prime and then they give the MVP to someone else when they reach their prime. For example next year Luca might win and Giannis might get better but they will be done w him. Voter fatigue. LeBron is leading the league in assists. Once again, doing something he has NEVER done before in his 17th season in the “tough west”
      Giannis is prob the best player in the league right now to be honest, at least regular season but I like Bron for MVP

Lebron's time is over now, without AD he won't even be in the MVP conversation. I'm sick of the media hyping over Lebron's name like he did everything single handedly, but he woudn't even have a ring if his team isn't stacked up with the likes of Ray Allen, Dwayne Wade, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Chris Bosh, and other superstar. I respect Lebron as a player tho, but the MVP is always the one doing all the effort may it be on offense and defense. If Lebron steps us his defensive game it might be a different story, but no, AD takes that away from him. So Lebron winning MVP is unlikely, but him winning a chip is a possibility.
