the mvp race this year has been really weird or i guess you could just say interesting if you want to put a more positive spin on it we are about NUMBER_TOKEN games of the season now and this is usually the point where we have a distinct one or two players leading the race and there were probably points in this season where that distinction was made however at this point now there are four legitimate candidates for the mvp award and really all of them have an extremely strong case at the point where i'm not mad at you for thinking that any of them are the mvp so far and there's actually a complete wild card player as well that i think could end up making a case as the season goes along and we'll talk about him as well so let's talk about the mvp race so far before i continue on with this video about half the people who watch these videos are not subscribed so if you follow that NUMBER_TOKEN then please subscribe i am trying to hit NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN subscribers by the end of the year so your subscription will be much appreciated i'm about NUMBER_TOKENk away right now so subscribe also drop a like on this video only takes one second and it makes a massive difference especially if you enjoy the video also real quick i do have to add that there is a video on my film channel which i haven't posted on in six months but it is where i do video essays and reviews of movies and shows or whatever the PROFANITY_TOKEN so i did a review for spider-man no way home and i really liked the video so go check that out it should be out by the time that this video is out the four main candidates for mvp this year are nikola jokic kevin durant stephen curry and giannis ante de cupo i realize there are some more outlier guys out there as well however i don't think any of those guys on the outskirts of the conversation are really going to butt their way in over these four guys outside of maybe one player and again we'll talk about him later so let's talk about each of these players individual cases and then i will rank them at the end of the video so first let's talk about the least mentioned name of these four in the race so far this year and that is giannis antedicumpo after a rough start to the year due to a comical amount of injuries the bucks have really sucked and thus people kind of stopped paying attention to them but as the season has progressed they have creeped all the way back up towards the top of the conference and been really really good especially when they're big three plays this has been primarily off of the back of giannis who has played like giannis there's nothing particularly new or interesting about how giannis has played outside of what's already interesting about how giannis plays so to that end that might be part of the reason why he's gone unmentioned is this just isn't anything we're not used to at this point but it's important to remember that what we're used to is absolute two-way dominance and being one of the best if not the best player in the league so let's not forget that to that end giannis has as much of a case as he did when he won his other two mvps
