The NBA MVP debate is kicking into full swing as we approach the end of the 2021-22 regular season, and as is often the case it’s becoming quite unbearable given the strong arguments for a number of players. Reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid are widely viewed as the top candidates, with others like Luka Doncic, Devin Booker and Ja Morant on the fringes of the conversation behind those top guys.
Bulls All-Star DeMar DeRozan was part of this conversation earlier this season, when he was putting up historic stats and breaking records set by the likes of Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.
