I don’t see why not if Denver can catch the Thunder for the No. 1 seed in the West. Shai has been great and I have him atop my MVP list and I have Nikola at No. 3
I would go in this order if I had to vote today: 1 Shai, 2 Cade Cunningham, 3 Nikola, and 4 Luka.
Luka is an outlier for me because he doesn’t check all my boxes as far as being a complete player on both ends of the floor like the three guys I have in front of him on my current list.
But as far the Shai-Nikola battle for the MVP…obviously the sixteen games missed hurt Nikola, BUT if the Nuggets come back during the home stretch and his numbers remain outstanding…I could definitely vote for him for the MVP. I’m not going to play 3 Doors Down-Kryptonite for him here on the blog. But, yeah, I could make that vote if my scenario plays with the Nuggets challenging the Thunder for the No. 1 seed in the West.
But I think I’ll go ahead and play 3 Doors Down just to fire me up after that abysmal OU loss yesterday in the Red River Rivalry.
