Not when you've got so many white guys today complaining about non-white people invading their dominant spaces in the form of "forced diversity". And when MJ is still the only black team owner in a majority black player league. Whatever skepticism Jokic is facing from some black players for being white, he's certainly not being denied opportunties, and he's already got two MVP awards. He'll prove his merit by someday leading his team to a title, or not. Bird got respect for winning, Dirk got respect for winning, and Nash, unfortunately, failed to win. That's why some still question Nash whereas nobody questions Bird or Dirk. If Jokic wins a historic third MVP in a row, the expectations for him will increase, and so too will the scrutiny for not being a champion yet. That's just the way it goes.

Steve Nash was a great player. I still think Kobe should have won MVP in 07, but that doesn't change the fact that Nash was incredible. Acting like people incorrectly thought he was good just because he's white is pure, evil racism. End of discussion.

Imagine lebron leading the lakers to a middle seed with great counting stats and elite efficiency missing AD and Russ for the entire season. And the past 2 years the team he lost to in the playoffs were the finals runner up and eventual champions. If you had common basketball sense this nuggets season isn't surprising.
@lilfred_NES who were the other best teams during that time period? I'm guessing you're referring to 2006-2009 range. Teams didn't really have big 3s or superstar duos for that matter. Spurs,lakers,magic,celtics

Nobody expects the two time runner up, Embid to do anything in the playoffs. At least Jokic made it to the conference finals and lost to the champs, but you do have to prove the haters wrong. Lebron got some hate until he powered up with Miami. We'll see.
Jokic's playoff stats are outstanding its not his fault his two best teammates was injured last 2 seasons ....its not tennis its not a one man game you still need a team to win in postseason...last time jokic had a healthy he went to western conference finals ....also jokic never played with a all star in his nuggets career while most other stars has hof and all nba teammates

nash’s mvp we’re ridiculous, he wasn’t even a top ten player in league, kobe had an all time great season but his team sucked and he had just had the tape allegations, jokic on the other hand has statistics both raw and advanced that would measure up against any mvp year ever. please don’t compare nash ( borderline hall of fame) to jokic( one of the most skilled bball players to ever play)
If Doug Gottlieb really knew basketabll he would have knew that it was how Phoenix played that allowed all those players including Nash to thrive. Mike D'Antoni should get a lot of credit because later on he did something similar with James Harden when he was with Houston.
youre right, nash was at the right place at the right time, but he took the advantage of that opportunity. that suns team was 29-53 the year before nash got there and 62-20 with nash there the 1st year. thats a 33 win swing. also that 62-20 team was 2-5 in games nash didnt play. he had a major impact on that dantoni system. also it didnt help that most top players were either on bad teams (garnett/kobe/lebron), or paired with other good players (shaq with wade/duncan with parker and ginobili). the only guy who was on a good team and putting up good stats at that time was dirk.
If a player is dominant for the year and his team has the best record that player deserves the mvp, it's a regular season award, listening to perk it seems like it is becoming more of a issues since these foreign players started becoming better than some of the players in the league
Luv Perk but he fumbled this badly.... Lazy NBA media is the prob.... they defended Nash's Fraud MVP's w/ the One seed argument (98% of MVP are 1 or 2 seed) then they throw out their Own rule to give Westbrick & Joker insane 6 seed MVP's but now they pull the One seed back out they azz to justify a 3peat & you gotta understand if someone gonna win 3 MVP in a row they gotta be Magic, Jordan, Kareem, Bird, Lebron level Great - All Time Greatest of the Greats & as much as I like Joker's game - he's not that.....
and this is what perkins was talking about. when embiid wsd in 1st place and jokic wads in 6th he won mvp.but this year the goalpost gets moved for yte guy. and this is what perk talking about and jj a typical yte guy so flabbergasted at the mention of racism as if we are not in the most racist country on the planet
Idk why there's even a debate. In my opinion the MVP now a days is like a sixth man award, give it to the best player carrying their team then make another award for the best player of that season. If they do that then that player has a good chance of winning both awards which will help that players case in future GOAT debates
100% Kobe was robbed - Lazy NBA media is the prob.... they defended Nash's Fraud MVP's w/ the One seed argument (98% of MVP are 1 or 2 seed) then they throw out their Own rule to give Westbrick & Joker insane 6 seed MVP's but now they pull the One seed back out they azz to justify a 3peat & you gotta understand if someone gonna win 3 MVP in a row they gotta be Magic, Jordan, Kareem, Bird, Lebron level Great - All Time Greatest of the Greats & as much as I like Joker's game - he's not that.....
what does Kobe do better than Lebron? Lol you Kobe fanboys are unbelievable. You all should be used in a case study for graduate level psychology courses. It is amazing what the "mamba mentality" brand and simply being cool can do for one's legacy.
Kobe was a more of a diva/cancer during that time.. Perkins forgot that. Kobe was famously inefficient at.times. people forget the post shaq pre Gasol era
Doug is absolutely RIGHT! That is what happens when this new generation tweet first and do their homework later. The league has been very consistent as far as the mvp votings. 1987 season Magic won mvp with 19ppg and 11.9 asts. Who was 2nd?? MJ with 35ppg but his team was far behind. See how similar the numbers are to Kobe 35ppg and Nash 18ppg and 11 asts in 2006!!! Moreover why are we even debating Kobe vs Nash in 2006, when Kobe finished 4th in mvp voting. LeBron was 2nd and Dirk 3rd. So why is Perkins bringing up unfairness towards Kobe when they voted Lebron and Dirk even higher?? Go look it up. Oh and by the way I am not hating on Kobe, I actually believe he is the better than all of them! But Doug is absolutely right.
@ Petite Verdot, You comparisons to Magic beating MJ for mvp in 1987 is assine because Magic had won multiple championships while MJ was a perineal loser. In other words, Magic’s stat padding lead to championships while Jokić stat padding leads to a nothing Burger yet he’s about to be a 3 time mvp.
A bit of advice......educate yourself before you post something. Or at least do a search real quick. Gottlieb was a starter at Notre Dame then Oklahoma state. A hell of a point guard actually.
Talk radio, TV shows, and other platforms that talk about sports, politics, etc. are all opinionated. There are some facts but they get lost in the conversation because people have their version of the truth which are opinions so it is what it is.
To try and implicate the race card for just a regular season award is my blood boil. That hate is the next level for a Jokic hate. Perk trumped nick wright.
Yes the whole media is against Jokic . But there some saying Embeed should have one last year and this Year and Jokich has gone further in the playoffs than Embeed
Still had 9 more wins than Lakers. Nash's best players were Marion and Boris Diaw that year (amare injured). Not that it matters but Nash beat Kobe in playoffs that year and got to WCF.
Yea I think it’s a business decision! They’re trying to grow the game if was really who’s the MVP it would have been MJ every year, Kobe, Shaq, then lebron for 30 years! This a business at the end of the day NBA is trying to go global! And these guys are really good!
@BrandAccount get over the race bullshit I just believe he didn't deserve to win it especially 2 yrs in a row besides I already said Dirk deserve to win it and last I checked he was white.....go figure 🫡
What do Jokic, Nash, and Nowitzki have in common? Foreign players that played the game team-first and elevetaed their teams to be the best team in the west. 3 players that got the stats without looking for them.
Hey Doug. Welcome to the Black Man dilemma. White people do the same thing too Black people at Ivy League Schools. You're not here because you're smart. You're only here because you are Black. So Doug.... it works both ways.
@ Philippe Meryl, Magic stat had lead to winning a multiple time championships which means his play warranted a mvp. Jokić stat padding does not lead to winning yet he still wins MVPs.

Black analyst hate Nash now Jocich , Stephen A proved that by complaining about Nash getting the Brooklyn job with no experience blaming it on white privilege , but failed to mention the other 9 black coaches who also got head coaching jobs with no experience
Jokic was the 6th seed last year and won because of his analytic numbers and now his case for winning is because his team is in first place, that is the moving goalpost that KP is alluding too. Doug is missing the point on purpose to defend his fav white players
nope... there's no "moving goalpost"... that's just desperation and futile attempt of Embiid/Giannis stans to create fake narratives and murky the waters. Jokic, again, has the BEST stats - basic and advanced (easy to check), PLUS he has 24 3Ds this season (and nuggets are 24:0 when he does that), PLUS Jokic is #1 in the west (5.5 cushion) this season. PLUS - Jokic already played 7 games more than Embiid and 6 more than Giannis. And so on... I suggest you go to basketball reference and check the stats... check the efficiency just for fun :) Also, check the defensive stats (especially steals+blocks+deflections) - you might be surprised. :)))))))) And most importantly - Jokic is the MOST COMPLETE basketball player in NBA history. While some others are YET to learn how to handle the ball, playmake, shoot, etc.
@@thetalents6507 keep telling that to yourself... you might eventually believe it... In the meantime - check the steals+blocks+deflections, and advanced defensive stats... You might start rooting for Jokic.

I agree with this- lots of people argue Isiah Thomas deserved to be on the Dream Team over John Stockton. How?! Stockton was a better shooter, a better passer, and a better defender (all NBA defensive team). He also wasnt a jerk on the floor or to other players. Yet, Steven A says Isiah was far superior. Under no circumstances would I take Isiah over John Stockton- not a chance.

@@luckycarter536 that argument loses also because Kobe has 2 rings 2 FMVP without Shaq again something Nash could never do and they mean nothing to guys with rings and a MVP
He didn't lie about Kobe and Nash thou Kobe scored 81 points that year plus 40 points for 8 games and score 62 the night before he scored 81 and Nash wins the mvp and Nash beat out Shaq to
its not only about scoring... that was the biggest criticism of kobe at that time = he only wanted to scorer and didnt try to make his teammates better.
I completely disagree with Perk because we is arguing from a point that is 1000 percent incorrect. Nikola Jokic was 6th in scoring last year and then tied for 10th the year before. His entire point is useless and throwing race into a flawed argument is useless when he claimed he did “research.”

Perk is saying he's not doing anything more this season then he did the last 2 seasons so why should he get another MVP and when he loses in the second round we will be having this same discussion next year
This is what happens when you start with an opinion, and then you do research in an attempt to substantiate that opinion. It needs to go in reverse... do the research objectively, and allow your findings to determine your opinion.
People pretending they don’t know what kobe who was innocent was going through at that time. Handing him the mvp trophy before all that played out was an impossibility
Having played over 10 years in the NBA, ON TOP of being a starter for some really great teams… Kendrick knows ball. Was he wrong? 1000% But saying he don’t know hoops is just as wild of a claim.
“Basketball dudes” lmao. I wish Doug would have the courage of his convictions and stop tip toeing around what he really wants to say. He never fails to provide unsolicited rebuttals to what black people feel about certain issues but does not substantiate his opposition with anything tangible besides saying their stance has no merit. Missing the point on purpose is quite cowardly.
No sir, those early Phoenix Suns squads were loaded with Talent. While none of them will probably make the Hall of Fame, those guys Steve Nash played with in the early 2000s were legit. You had Shawn Marion, Leandro Barbosa, Raja Bell, Boris Diaw. I haven't even mentioned Amar'e Stoudemire, who was basically dunking on the whole league his first several years. Let's not talk like Steve Nash was playing with chopped liver. I do think perk was reaching a bit when he tried to bring the race element into the MVP award.
It has nothing to do with race, he’s saying David Stern wanted to globalize the game so the best way is to prop up international players. It makes sense. Jokic finished 6 seed last year standings yet he still won. So being on a successful/ winning roster isn’t the criteria so stop it.
Plus he had carried the 06 mavs to the finals yr prior. He was overdue kinda. Kobe was inefficient compared to Dirk but Perks too big n dumb 2 realize lol
Let’s say for argument sake. They choose Nikola Jokić to win the regular season MVP. Let’s say Adam Silver pulled the strings and wanted Jokić to win. Do know why? Mr. Perkins because the NBA is a global sport. NBA is more popular than the NFL, MLB and any other American organised sports in Europe and Asia. So of course it will make sense for the NBA to push the European based players in the spotlight. To garner more views, audiences and ad money from these European state. Did you know in Lithuania the national sport is basketball. Similar how Michael Jordan was put in the spotlight in the 80s and 90s. He transformed this game from a national spectacle to a global phenomenon. All other players before couldn’t have done it. Lastly Nikola Jokić is a beast of a player. How is a big man averaging a triple double this season. Giannis is a monster of a player. NBA champion. Back to back MVPs and defense player of the year. Luka Doncic is by far one of the most skilled NBA player today. He isn’t even that athletic. But he has got basketball IQ. Why the American are playing college basketball and high school basketball in their teens. Luka was playing against grown professionally players by the time he was 16. White or black it don’t matter. What matter is how the NBA can remain relevant and successful.

You don’t have to imagine Lebron carrying injured and lower tier cast. You can go back to his history and see it. Lebron not in his prime anymore.
LeBron won 60 plus games with worse rosters
LeBron has lead worse teams to the finals I get the analogy your tryna make but pick a different player lol
@lilfred_NES who were the other best teams during that time period? I'm guessing you're referring to 2006-2009 range. Teams didn't really have big 3s or superstar duos for that matter. Spurs,lakers,magic,celtics
@@ownthelibs no he didn’t and people need to stop with that narrative.
You can’t lead a team 60+ wins without having good players.
This isn’t possible !!!
Nobody expects the two time maybe three time MVP to do anything in the playoffs.....that sounds a lot like empty stats
Empty stats he's built like arvydas sabonis and runs the floor are u joking right now? Like any great player, all he need is some help he got the rest. Dont sleep on denver they are deep and loaded.
Nobody expects the two time runner up, Embid to do anything in the playoffs. At least Jokic made it to the conference finals and lost to the champs, but you do have to prove the haters wrong. Lebron got some hate until he powered up with Miami. We'll see.
Jokic's playoff stats are outstanding its not his fault his two best teammates was injured last 2 seasons ....its not tennis its not a one man game you still need a team to win in postseason...last time jokic had a healthy he went to western conference finals ....also jokic never played with a all star in his nuggets career while most other stars has hof and all nba teammates
No - that sounds like hating.
You DON'T WANT HIM TO WIN so you can further hate on him.

nash’s mvp we’re ridiculous, he wasn’t even a top ten player in league, kobe had an all time great season but his team sucked and he had just had the tape allegations, jokic on the other hand has statistics both raw and advanced that would measure up against any mvp year ever. please don’t compare nash ( borderline hall of fame) to jokic( one of the most skilled bball players to ever play)
yeah but bullets got 5 more wins with addition of strikland while suns got 33 more with nash.
If Doug Gottlieb really knew basketabll he would have knew that it was how Phoenix played that allowed all those players including Nash to thrive. Mike D'Antoni should get a lot of credit because later on he did something similar with James Harden when he was with Houston.
You have got to be kidding me. Nash made Mike D the coach he was not the other way around. SMH
Mike D'antoni had an 0-8 playoff record as a head coach before Nash
youre right, nash was at the right place at the right time, but he took the advantage of that opportunity. that suns team was 29-53 the year before nash got there and 62-20 with nash there the 1st year. thats a 33 win swing. also that 62-20 team was 2-5 in games nash didnt play. he had a major impact on that dantoni system. also it didnt help that most top players were either on bad teams (garnett/kobe/lebron), or paired with other good players (shaq with wade/duncan with parker and ginobili). the only guy who was on a good team and putting up good stats at that time was dirk.
If a player is dominant for the year and his team has the best record that player deserves the mvp, it's a regular season award, listening to perk it seems like it is becoming more of a issues since these foreign players started becoming better than some of the players in the league
Yea and their white. That's the main issue to Perk and all these racist black sports analyst
By your logic Jokic should only get MVP this year and not the last two times. So the goal post is being changed.
Then LeBron and Jordan should have got 10 MVPs
Luv Perk but he fumbled this badly.... Lazy NBA media is the prob.... they defended Nash's Fraud MVP's w/ the One seed argument (98% of MVP are 1 or 2 seed) then they throw out their Own rule to give Westbrick & Joker insane 6 seed MVP's but now they pull the One seed back out they azz to justify a 3peat & you gotta understand if someone gonna win 3 MVP in a row they gotta be Magic, Jordan, Kareem, Bird, Lebron level Great - All Time Greatest of the Greats & as much as I like Joker's game - he's not that.....
and this is what perkins was talking about. when embiid wsd in 1st place and jokic wads in 6th he won mvp.but this year the goalpost gets moved for yte guy. and this is what perk talking about and jj a typical yte guy so flabbergasted at the mention of racism as if we are not in the most racist country on the planet
Several, of those Europeans Players, know the fundamentals of the game
of Basketball early, in their lives. Opinion
Perk never mentioned the color of their skin, where is Doug getting this
He’s playing to a particular audience apparently…..John Stockton to me is the best “point” guard ever…
Idk why there's even a debate. In my opinion the MVP now a days is like a sixth man award, give it to the best player carrying their team then make another award for the best player of that season. If they do that then that player has a good chance of winning both awards which will help that players case in future GOAT debates

Boom ‼️
Doug is absolutely RIGHT! That is what happens when this new generation tweet first and do their homework later. The league has been very consistent as far as the mvp votings. 1987 season Magic won mvp with 19ppg and 11.9 asts. Who was 2nd?? MJ with 35ppg but his team was far behind. See how similar the numbers are to Kobe 35ppg and Nash 18ppg and 11 asts in 2006!!! Moreover why are we even debating Kobe vs Nash in 2006, when Kobe finished 4th in mvp voting. LeBron was 2nd and Dirk 3rd. So why is Perkins bringing up unfairness towards Kobe when they voted Lebron and Dirk even higher?? Go look it up.
Oh and by the way I am not hating on Kobe, I actually believe he is the better than all of them! But Doug is absolutely right.
@ Petite Verdot,
You comparisons to Magic beating MJ for mvp in 1987 is assine because Magic had won multiple championships while MJ was a perineal loser. In other words, Magic’s stat padding lead to championships while Jokić stat padding leads to a nothing Burger yet he’s about to be a 3 time mvp.

Jokic was the 6th seed last year and won because of his analytic numbers and now his case for winning is because his team is in first place, that is the moving goalpost that KP is alluding too. Doug is missing the point on purpose to defend his fav white players
nope... there's no "moving goalpost"... that's just desperation and futile attempt of Embiid/Giannis stans to create fake narratives and murky the waters.
Jokic, again, has the BEST stats - basic and advanced (easy to check), PLUS he has 24 3Ds this season (and nuggets are 24:0 when he does that), PLUS Jokic is #1 in the west (5.5 cushion) this season. PLUS - Jokic already played 7 games more than Embiid and 6 more than Giannis. And so on...

Also, check the defensive stats (especially steals+blocks+deflections) - you might be surprised.

Me: They all won MVP 😂🤷🏿♂️
Let’s say for argument sake. They choose Nikola Jokić to win the regular season MVP. Let’s say Adam Silver pulled the strings and wanted Jokić to win. Do know why? Mr. Perkins because the NBA is a global sport. NBA is more popular than the NFL, MLB and any other American organised sports in Europe and Asia.
So of course it will make sense for the NBA to push the European based players in the spotlight. To garner more views, audiences and ad money from these European state. Did you know in Lithuania the national sport is basketball.
Similar how Michael Jordan was put in the spotlight in the 80s and 90s. He transformed this game from a national spectacle to a global phenomenon. All other players before couldn’t have done it.
Lastly Nikola Jokić is a beast of a player. How is a big man averaging a triple double this season. Giannis is a monster of a player. NBA champion. Back to back MVPs and defense player of the year. Luka Doncic is by far one of the most skilled NBA player today. He isn’t even that athletic. But he has got basketball IQ. Why the American are playing college basketball and high school basketball in their teens. Luka was playing against grown professionally players by the time he was 16.
White or black it don’t matter. What matter is how the NBA can remain relevant and successful.
