Zach Lowe on Get Up The top four players in the league when everyone is healthy are indisputably Luka Jokic Giannis and Embiid This year Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was No 5 Jayson Tatum is somewhere 6th 7th 8th

Zach Lowe No one who has watched the Nuggets for the years they haven't won the title can make a case that it's Jokic's fault like at all But if he gets a second one the names he's next to are like the holy pantheon of NBA players Bill Simmons He has to be with Bird and Magic at that point

Zach Lowe on the Top 3 MVP candidates I think Shai start to finish this is his MVP I do think Wemby has a real case I think hes made it to 2nd on my ballot over Jokic who continues to have these games where its What are these turnovers that youre having Its crazy

Bill Simmons questions whether Giannis is still a top 5 player and doesnt think teams should trade all their assets for him He doesnt play Hes closer to Embiid than Jokic He doesn't play He gets hurt all the time He's hurt all the time I would be really scared about this

Chris Mannix on his MVP vote Ive got Luka Doni in my second tier Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Victor Wembanyama Nikola Joki Jaylen Brown Those four guys are in my first tier and those are the four guys that I am considering casting my MVP vote for

Zach Lowe I think at the end of his Nikola Joki career if not already he's gonna be statistically and just like eye test better than Larry Bird better than Magic Johnson 1 ring in Denver is worth more than like a Lakers ring or whatever

KG says Cade and JB should be First Team All-NBA over Luka Listen we got real candidates over here and he got two other killers on his team You understand These men been doing it with just one Showing up on consistent every night on both sides of the ball Bro only plays one side of the ball
