It’s not even Thanksgiving and the NBA MVP race is already a three-man fight. Luka Doncic is scoring at will for the Lakers, Victor Wembanyama is doing things nobody has done, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has Oklahoma City at 8-2 through a pile of injuries. Grant says voter fatigue can’t be the reason SGA loses it, and John says you can win an MVP in the first month — and that Wemby, if he plays closer to the basket, is the best two-way player since Michael Jordan in 1988. Josh Tariff joins with the players who’ve fallen off a cliff this season, from Mikal Bridges to Jalen Green, and Grant adds Joel Embiid, who’s 4-for-33 from three and says he’s done shooting them. John’s prescription: live on the low block. Then the trade block. Anthony Davis in Washington, Kyrie Irving in Dallas, Ty Jerome’s breakout in Memphis and whether anybody pays for it, plus Michael Porter Jr., Trey Murphy III and Domantas Sabonis. John says the Pelicans are souring young players on the game, and Josh explains why the Orlando Magic can never stay healthy.
