Knicks All-Stars both get placed on latest NBA MVP ladder

The New York Knicks are led by two All-Stars who are now legitimately in the hunt for NBA MVP honors.

Knicks: Karl-Anthony Towns & Jalen Brunson in MVP race

In the latest installment of the Kia MVP ladder, NBA.com’s Shaun Powell ranked Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns at No. 4 and point guard Jalen Brunson at No. 8 overall. Powell had this to say about Towns:

“Towns has been steady all season and wears the unofficial title as Best Center In The East, partly because of his stellar play and, to be fair, partly because former Kia MVP Joel Embiid has struggled with injuries and absences,” Powell wrote.
