COMMENTARY
Jayson Tatum is not going to win the NBA’s Most Valuable Player Award. After leading the discussion a quarter of the way through the season, he was usurped by the trio that has dominated coverage since – Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, and Nikola Jokiu0107. One of them will win the trophy, and with good reason. For my money, it has to be either Antetokounmpo or Embiid, as the competition in the West was too soft for me to give Jokiu0107 my theoretical first-place vote.
Which of those three will win is not my focus today.
