Damian Lillard is on a short list of players with a legitimate shot at winning the 2020-21 NBA MVP Most Valuable Player award. So far this season, the Trail Blazers star has jostled with the likes of Joel Embiid, LeBron James, and Nikola Jokic. If Zach Harper’s latest rankings on The Athletic are any indication, the battle between Lillard and Jokic could provide fireworks down the final stretch of the season.
In his latest look at the MVP race, Harper noted six different categories that gauged a player’s value. Lillard, predictably, generated high marks in each.
