Jokic es un gigante
Las conversaciones sobre el próximo MVP, cada vez más frecuentes según se va acercando el final de la temporada regular, giran sobre todo en torno a Joel Embiid. El pívot de los Philadelphia 76ers está jugando seguramente la mejor temporada de su carrera. Pero el camerunés no es el único candidato que suena últimamente.

Muchos candidatos que demuestran que este año el nivel de baloncesto de las estrellas de la NBA está siendo alto. En toda esta lista hay un nombre, quizá el único, que lleva ahí desde el primer día y que no ha desaparecido ni uno solo.
