Analytics: Denver Post Columnist Uses Nikola Jokic's Underwear To Argue Why He's The Real MVP
I promise this is a real thing that was printed in a newspaper. I saw it briefly before the pay $9 to subscribe ad popped up. But it's there. Let me tell you something. This columnist may be onto something. People vote on the MVP for a variety of different reasons. Some use basic stats, some use advanced stats, some use winning. From here on out it's simple. Underwear choice only.
How can Embiid or Giannis compete with Jokic pulling off That's what she said or Spongebob boxers? Good luck with that. It's the most sound argument for Nikola Jokic these eyes have seen. Now, I have no problem with Embiid winning MVP. But if he's just out here rocking your standard nay blue underwear? Buddy, we're going to have a problem then. That's not leadership material. That's not MVP material.

I need to know how pissed is Jokic is right now. Not over losing MVP. He already has two of them. He's also 2-0 up on the Suns. But rather because people are now talking about his boxers. No one wants that. The man is a quiet human being. He just goes about playing basketball and playing video games. Now he's gotta worry about people thinking what kind of underwear he's wearing like Frank the Tank in Old School.

Nothing gets people riled up like a good MVP debate. This though? This is the take that we've been waiting for.
