“Draymond Green is eating his lunch money” Nick Wright doesn’t believe Nikola Jokic deserves MVP award this season 

Nikola Jokic and Draymond Green

If the Golden State Warriors are to make a deep playoff run in the 2021-22 season, they would be expecting Draymond Green to lead the defensive unit against marquee scorers. In the first round series, with Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic being in the form of his lifetime, the former DPO has made the reigning MVP look like a fool. Which has led Nick Wright to deliver his opinion. 

In a big-man ballot, Nikola Jokic stands alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid to stand a chance of winning the MVP. With all depending upon if the Nuggets are able to cause an upset against the Warriors, Draymond Green is possibly killing all chances of Jokic winning this accolade for consecutive seasons.

Nick Wright of “First Things First” did not hold back as the crew discussed the Warriors vs Nuggets series, saying, “If we ever were going to get evidence, that the once upon a time prestigious NBA MVP award is now basically a sag award for basketball. I present to you Game 1 and Game 2 of these NBA Playoffs, Nuggets-Warriors.”

Talking about the particular stats, Nikola Jokic has averaged 25.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in the two fixtures, but has not been able to get the team going. To make matters worse, Jokic was ejected in Game 2, after picking up his second technical foul with seven minutes left on the clock. No doubt the Warriors exploded on the offensive end, but the MVP candidate is expected to do something about that. 

Wright concluded by stating, “Nikola Jokic, on the other hand, they’ve been blow out both games. He’s now been ejected in two of his last three post season games. And Mr. Efficiency, Mr. Advance numbers has been worse in every category across the board, while Draymond Green’s eating his lunch money.”

Will we witness the flamboyant Jokic rising onto the occasion in Game 3 in Denver? Especially when he has his reputation getting questioned, courtesy to ejection in g\Game 2? Remains to be seen.
