Lebron is not even close for a MVP this year… who comes up with this? He is good, beyond good. Great. But not MVP, at least not yet. Embiid, Durant, Leonard, Jokic, Giannis, Luka, Brown…

Perkins keep getting confused with playoffs and regular season.
Giannis deserved that regular season mvp last year

Perkins and Stephen A both have no shame. Both were for Embid and for KD respectively like 3 seconds ago , Max should have called them on their sudden switch.

Last year, they said he lead the league in assist for months. Lebron is not in the top 5 in pts, assists, rebounds, blocks, steals, PER , yet he is the frontrunner???

Perk is the only analyst I’ve ever seen that tries to make an argument with what he’s seen on the Tee Vee

I hate when they bring up Lebrons age in the mvp discussion. It impressive that he can do it at that age of course, but age should be a non factor when deciding who is the most valuable in a single season.

Jokić: Ok… hold my tomahawk steak…

Lebron is the mvp!!!stop this Joel embid he ain’t the mvp…LeBron is 36 years old giving you 25 7 7 these people can’t keep stealing Mvps from him he should’ve won last year he should already have like 6 mvps it’s ridiculous they just don’t want to let him catch Michael Jordan with mvps!!

Not a fan of perk tbh. Always just states the obvious or makes over the top arguements with max.

I don’t know how Joel Embiid can be included in the MVP conversation and Nikola Jokic be left out. That’s ludicrous.

If you by PER, since 1978 the MVP is at worst top 10 in PER and mostly top 5! Which Embiid is 1st and Lebron is all the way at 16th! So Lebron better work his way up or he won’t win MVP
