So refreshing to see no lakers in my feed

[kylinmooney]

It’s crazy being from Memphis and seeing Memphis finally getting a superstar

[blairsnyder]

Best player on the best team. What was Memphis last year? 38-34 and now they’re 43-20 with the 3rd best record. Idk Joker is stuffing the stats great, if Embiid can get the 6ers the 1 or 2nd sure but it’s Ja. The NBA knows it and they will be leaning on his entertainment value for the future

[whooshbait]

He mentioned literally everyone BUT Giannis lmao

[Primenumber]

Giannis sitting on his throne thinking, “really? I’m terrified.”

[chuckbarkley]

Gotta add Luka in there. What he’s doing is crazy

[PB-nvce]

4:30 Monica is supposed to be a sports analyst but mistakens Vucevic for Valanciunas when talking about the Bulls.. We need more professionalism, come on now.

[nyllo]

Not even mentioning giannis whos been the best player this season after jokic

[JOSEPH]

Did Monica really confuse Vucevic with Valanciunas? @4:30

[kk-srwl]

Ja wants top 100 so bad... as long he doesn't get don't be shocked if Grizzlies upset warriors in playoffs

[daking]

Ja is box office for sure ! But the media is pushing hard! Lol the kid had one 50 point game and he is already MVP "right now"? What has DeRozan been doing??! Embid ??! Jokic and Giannis are no slouch! Giannis is literally having his best overall season but I understand the voters wants new narrative and both Giannis and Jokic already won mvps.

[Azrael]

Ja closest player to Jordan I have seen in the past 40 yrs dude taking over the league

[GoodHealthBadEducation]

please stop discrediting Ja's season cuz he missed 10 games good lord. The least his team could do is keep up the pace...

[justjordan]

First take actually acknowledging the greatness of Nikola Jokic???? I must be dreaming

[davidrieder]

Giannis and Ja are my favorite Players(Dame too but he out) so I hope for either one to win the MVP/Championship👀

[Mavrock]

Uhhhh HEAT was in the number 1 seed longer tgan the bulls and they don’t have 1 MVP candidate? Aight bet

[noleyestoad]

I swear SAS talk like somebody Sassy Auntie sus 🤔😂

[SabrumBaker]

So we skippin over Luka, Jokic, Giannis, Joel and Devin Booker…..mmmk 👍🏾

[ejioforbami]

So SAS spewed all that but not mention Giannis?
His hate for tha Broda is just pathetic!!!!

[gilgandantomega]

It’s a new Era of stars & the league has to move forward
