A riddle for you: If Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić is enjoying the greatest statistical regular season in NBA history, and yet Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the massive betting favorite for MVP, according to BetMGM, would that make the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard's award campaign the most impressive ever?

If Jokić were to win, he would become the sixth player in NBA history with at least four MVP awards. The current group includes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (six), Michael Jordan (five), Bill Russell (five), LeBron James (four) and Wilt Chamberlain (four).

ESPN NBA writer Tim Bontemps released Wednesday the results of his third and final league MVP straw poll this season. It includes 100 voters, many of whom actually have a real MVP ballot this season. Therefore, it’s a pretty good representation of how the final vote tally will play out.
