If Randle really is the MVP, maybe we’ll be having a good laugh in July.

Seems right though. Love JuRa but these guys did more. Jokic is my pick.
I have Ju down for most improved. Pretty sure that’s a lock.
This is perfect...Keep that flame lit throughout the playoffs....Now he can use the playoffs to show whos the real MVP.
Embiid really didn’t play in enough games to win this.
I think Jokic deserves this most among these 3, but Steph is pretty awesome. About as worthy as Randle.
The winner wss pretty clearly determined in the 1st quarter at Denver. Jokic tore through the Knicks, I think because he was pissed about Randle tossing his name in the MVP race.

+1, The talk about Randle being MVP have died off after that game
I can’t think anyone is upset with Curry with the season he had and he is Steph Curry.
Jokic was amazing and played every game.
Philly was tops in the east and played 51 games. Before he got hurt he was the leading candidate after Lebron went down at that time. Jokic and Randle really came on more and more.
I never expected Randle to be top three. He is in the conversation. Remember knicks were not a full season success. They got red hot after the all star break. Lebron and Embiid really lit it up early.
JuRandle should be top 5 or 6. Thats a hell of a thing really! Most improved. Thibs got many 2nd place votes as COY. PHX ran it wire to wire about most of the season. That counts for something. If there was a Comeback team or most improved knicks get that.
Phili is best in the East but Embiid missed 20 games. Curry is there and Jokic is the no brainer IMO. Denver loses their best guard and the team goes 9-1 behind Jokic. He's amazing. Deserves MVP.
Thibs and Randle must win COY/MIP
I dont care how good the Suns were.. they are stacked. What Thibs did with mostly last year's roster is really unprecedented.
I am ok with this because the MVP is Jokic, Randle will likely win MIP
So yeah, in retrospect, it's clear J Randle is not quite ready yet for this conversation. He did a great job caring the Knicks in the season, but MVPs gotta be able to elevate to the next level in important games.
